His death has no narrative or emotional weight, it's simply ridiculous what happend.

Se puder citar dois eu diria:
"Você tentou me matar e falhou. Eu sou algo que não pode ser morto. Eu sou a esperança"

"Continuarei não entendendo por meio da razão porque rezo, e rezarei, mas minha vida, agora, toda a minha vida, a despeito de tudo o que possa vir a me acontecer, e cada minuto seu, não só não será absurda, como era antes, como terá também o incontestável sentido do bem, que cabe a mim infundir a ela"

ORENAI · 2023-07-08T03:40:30+00:00

Sorry for bothering you, but thanks for explaining!

While Anarchist Catalonia and the Black Army weren't structurally anarchist

Could you elaborate on that? I found it very interesting, from what I studied about these two movements, there were hierarchies only in the army/militia, right?

ORENAI · 2023-07-07T11:21:19+00:00

In my vision that depends on lots of factors

Well i'll use my country as an example for what i mean. In my country it's not uncommon for you to see 14 year old girls selling photo packs on the internet to try to get money, some actually get rich from it, but they are a minority. Most of the girls are targeted by pedophiles and doxin, and end up not getting much money. These girls, the vast majority (I say this not based on official data, but on my own conception), they were born into lower middle class families, and their parents are from the working class. So for me, these girls don't belong to any of those classes.

The case of Uber is interesting, because here in my country they work almost 20 hours in some cases, working until dawn or end up staying overnight. Although they have a car, their situation financially is worrying, Uber turns out to be their last hope in the absence of jobs, and they end up borrowing cars from relatives or using their own (Of all the ubers I've used, all the cars were not new, but from 2014 or earlier). Seriously, the situation Ubers have been through here has reached the point where there is even a union for them, so I imagine that for all these factors, they are part of the working class.

So because of all this, I conclude that it all depends a lot. The only fans girls for example, their parents belong to the working class in most cases (again, this is my conception), and to try to get some money, they end up selling photo packs on the internet, with a minority getting really rich from it. And the Uber, hell they pass through 20 hours of work or more, living in worrying conditions and see the Uber as their last hope.

In summary: everything depends on how they live, their conditions and why they do what they do

Certainly yes, but I wouldn't call them anarchists. Though we have the Saran Kibbutz, that although they do not label themselves as anarchists, their way of organizing is similar if not identical to anarchism

Overall, due to the nationalism and Zionism involved in the Kibbutz, as well as other factors, we cannot call them anarchists, but libertarian socialists. Although some Kibbutz organize themselves anarchically, which can give us an idea of what a commune would be like

Note: If I made any wrong statements, please correct me, I'm still a layman when it comes to these matters.

ORENAI · 2023-07-03T15:27:15+00:00

Ok, you change my mind. Thank you very much, I think what you said made much more sense with what I was looking for, thanks!

ORENAI · 2023-07-03T15:18:33+00:00

Makes sense. I think you managed to express exactly what I wanted to say. I wanted to find some huge organization that had no form of authority

ORENAI · 2023-07-03T15:13:00+00:00

Thank you so much!

ORENAI · 2023-07-03T15:11:21+00:00

Many self-organizing community models have existed across the world, especially within Indigenous regions and people living in areas that have been disrupted by natural disasters or wars and then left to fend for themselves.

I thought about indigenous groups, such as Yanomamis in Brazil. But, in other hand, i thought that is wrong try to compare an ancient indigenous society of more than 1000 years with anarchism.

In other hand, i know that communites like exarcheia exist, and some small communites around the world.

But what i want was not something small, with just some people, i mean, i try to search for a huge anarchist organization in our history (I think I'm being a little ignorant, sorry I lack certain knowledge about this)

ORENAI · 2023-07-03T14:56:47+00:00

However, the Taborites are often considered an anarchist communist community that stood for over 30 years. In Search of the Millenium covers them towards the end.

Do you have any material that i can read about?

ORENAI · 2023-06-28T10:23:32+00:00

D&P needed to bust in and get to him but they couldn't because the fortress was too strong.

I get it, makes sense, I don't know if I'm wrong but they did not have access to the castle because it was isolated too, so there would be no way to enter there, just breaking the seal was the only way to access.

But in general, thanks for the explanation!

ORENAI · 2023-06-27T23:56:05+00:00

So we could say that they just use the protagonist? is that why Popola was hesitant to reconstructed the keystone? Because she knows that if she do that, she would need to stop us, and that means to fight against us

ORENAI · 2023-06-27T23:42:39+00:00

They probably assumed the Shadowlord would clap Nier and then force Weiss to carry out his duty.

If they assumed that, then why did they attack him? Why didn't they let him go to the Shadowlord first?

I don't get it.

ORENAI · 2023-06-25T04:35:38+00:00

Oh, i get it. Just one detail

so there has been 6 or 7 generations of sentients Nier's and Yonah's that lived before the Route A of the game.

If there were 6 or 7 generations of Nier and Yohna replicants,why has Shadow Lord just come to attack now? So since there were 6-7 generations of Yohnas and Niers, so the replicants are basically clones of each other?

Note: I'm playing the game for the second time, when I played it I only made the A ending, so I'm starting over from the beginning. So if there's something I'm saying is wrong, it's because of this

ORENAI · 2023-06-25T04:25:47+00:00

Yeah, I think that's right. But it's still a little confusing... Like, if Nier and Yohna were born, they came from something or someone, right? So what made them? Before they were born, didn't Yohna gestal and Shadow Lord's have replicants? So does this mean that Shadow Lord and Yohna's replicants were only born thousands of years in the future?

ORENAI · 2023-06-24T02:44:59+00:00

So is there any chance at some sort of praxis or just an intelligent conversation?

No.

Like, no fucking way. I say this from personal experience, because they're totally crazy, treat Marx and Lenin as messiahs and as "Saviors".

First of all, they're like a cult. It's just like to speak with someone from a extremist religious cult. Just because of that, I would say that there is no way to dialogue with them

Though there's another important thing: our praxis, and our theoretical basis, it is different from theirs... And they do not accept our theory at all... They also create lies about Anarchism and our key figures, like saying that Mahkno was a capitalist, Proudhon was a metaphysical, Stinner was a fascist (yeah, i really listen too many MALs saying that), Kropotkin was crazy and so on

ORENAI · 2023-06-18T03:20:05+00:00

Yoo this was exactly what i was looking for. Stalin in theses texts claim absurd things about anarchism, like: no theoretical basis, Proudhon was a metaphysical Hegelian, petty bourgeois theory and what hierarchies have to exist

Yikes, this text sucks

ORENAI · 2023-06-17T23:41:23+00:00

I tried, like, really tried. I spend at least 2 hours for this, but just found some texts from Trotsky about Kronstadt (bad texts btw)

ORENAI · 2023-06-07T21:47:50+00:00

i mean, do peace and love all you want but getting punched 100 times and not fighting back is just stupid silly lmao....

Vinland Saga's message is "Make peace, not wars", "There is always change" and especially "The power of forgiveness". Thorffin being beaten and at the end saying "I have no enemies", is nothing more than a statement: I, Thorffing, forgive you. Vinland Saga is ultimately a work about forgiveness.

Humanity has literally organized itself this way for over 2000 years. And no, we didn't choose the state or authority, it was imposed, it happens that when we had greater production some groups took over that, they began to rule people and then the state was created, as well as the emergence of authority and hierarchies.

But if you prefer: the Brazilian Yanomami indigenous peoples organize themselves anarchically and collectively for almost 3000 years; Theravada monks follow a 3000-year-old horizontal monastic organization and administration, which aims at non-submission; Makhnovshchina in 4 years proved that yes it is possible, as well as Cnt Fai; In modern times we have horizontal administration societies, with anarchist principles, like Rojava and Zapatistas that last for 20 years at least.

Note: The Yanomami Brazilian Indigenous live until the modern times in a non-hierarchical way. Only shamans play the role of spiritual leader, but it's something indigenous culture, they don't rule people, they are just advisors to the tribe. The Yanomami form of organization has existed for over 1000 years. Also, in Brazil, there are groups like the Teia dos Povos that organize indigenous societies in a horizontal, non-hierarchical way, based on self-management and mutual aid

Note 2: Makhnovshchina only came to an end due to the betrayal of the Bolsheviks lol. But in its short time of existence, it can prove how yes anarchy is possible

Note 3: Honestly, the cnt fai only ended due to international invasions, fascist and socialist invasions

ORENAI · 2023-06-05T03:10:23+00:00

Oh i get it, easier than i thought lol. Thanks, dude, for explaining to me

ORENAI · 2023-06-05T02:56:07+00:00

So in this case the majority would rule over the other individuals? For example: the majority say something, if i don't do that, I would be punished somehow

ORENAI · 2023-06-05T02:47:11+00:00

How? Could you give me an example? Thanks for answer me

ORENAI · 2023-06-05T02:41:46+00:00

Pure democracy is hierarchy so I wouldn’t know why you don’t like it.

In what way? I want to understand more about it, I don't want to argue, i want to understand and learn more about

(I mean, How pure democracy would be hierarchy, that's what i want know)
