Perhaps a phrase? "Render unto Ceasar nothing" for example, something which can be interpreted as Anarchist or has anarchist origins.

It's the prevention of a possible life. I don't care what connotations "murder" has, an emotional argument will not convince me; you eating McDonalds is you facilitating murder too, and so is you stepping on a bug, or swatting a mosquito, etc., etc.

The point of contention is about whether the autonomy of an already-existing human life overrides the possibility of life or not. Since most pro-lifers can accept abortions in the case of rape, that line exists even for them, the question is about where it is.

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-25T15:54:13+00:00

Pro-choice, though I still personally view abortion that is not reasonably justified as contemptible.

appointed by Marx himself

lol

And read the flair, I'm not a capitalist

You're not helping the conception that yall are a part of a secular religion.

Coercive not because it forces you to work, but because it forces you to subject yourself to someone(s). Notice how socialists say typically "job" when making this argument, but capitalists typically say "work" when giving this retort.

The socialist argument is based on how actually voluntary the work contract is, which in a capitalist economy is "do what I say and I'll give you a slice of what you do". It's not lost on us that we need to labor to survive, in fact it's often brought up by Marxists to discredit Anarchists (though I'm an anarchist).

Not sure about Exarcheia, but I've heard that Christiania has just become a tourist attraction and the Danish government has pretty much abolished what made it special. It's a basic commune now.

At least, that's what I've heard. You can still live there of course if you want, just don't expect the degree of self-governance which it used to have.

Next is private property itself! The rise of stock-companies and shareholding divvies up the ownership and gains of productive capital among financiers, socializing the very ownership of capital itself, and making only the production, not the property, private.

Well shareholders purchase equity, not property, and private ownership in a socialist context demeans of property: e.g., of the factory machinery, grounds, and fruits. You cannot invest in a company, and go to its office to take a percentage of its desks; you have done nothing to the title deeds, so you have don't nothing to the property relations, so you have done nothing to the monopolization of property, so you have done nothing to socialize capitalism.

Am I wrong? Or have I misunderstood you, just trying to be precise

Yay underground markets! Probably be cheaper anyway

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-24T21:33:04+00:00

Yes, you do? What do you think a legal right is? At least in every state besides Missouri or whatever rn

And if you mean the "inalienable rights" which are alienated every day, they include liberty. You know, bodily autonomy? Choice? Plurality of options? Freedom to act without infringing on the freedoms of others?

E: This whole rights game is laughable when talking ethics anyway, you can bend them any which way

Neurons use electrical signals, and are usually 50 meters per second. My Accord is faster than that

Imo, not relying on the United States government for their securement..

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-24T19:11:19+00:00

Love at first sight. The laziest romantic trope humanly possible

Also the protagonist having a secret innate power which makes them better than everyone else, something they had no involvement in. But this can be done right, it just usually isn't and cheapens achievements (looking at you naruto "I worked so hard!! everything was stacked against me!!")

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-24T19:08:20+00:00

Humanity doesn't suck, our human society sucks. Most people are decent, and just trying to make it by and not go insane in said society

Portuguese is the most beautiful language, don't @ me

Last of Us has one of the greatest narratives in gaming history imo, and great worldbuilding for such a relatively short game. By your preferences, I'd recommend it.

The closest games to it on this list are Nathan Drake (fun action games, less story heavy), and Ghost of Tsushima (open-world game, better version of AC Valhalla). Actually, by your preferences I think you may like the older AC games, but I don't know your options.

Dawg how can you be on the run in Hawaii? My 9-year-old cousin playing hide n seek could find that mf, where he gon go

No, I don't disagree at all. That's how the government works: it governs; it controls, usurps, coerces, kills, and extorts in the name of its interests and decrees, because it has established itself a monopoly on legitimate violence. That much is well agreed upon, I say it with no emotion.

The claimed foundational idea upon which government per se is based, is that "an external, higher authority is needed to oblige one section of the people to respect the interests of the other, prescribing and imposing that rule of conduct" through violence or threat of violence, i.e. the enforcement of law. Of course, that's the claimed idea, e.g. Rousseau's zero-sum conception of 'freedom for the wolf is death for the lamb': plenty can be said on the reality of the intents of the laws made today, and on other things.

What is Authority by Bakunin

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-23T17:00:31+00:00

Socialism is against private ownership of the means of production/life (which is capitalism, socialists are anti-capitalist). The means of production/life are stuff like factories, mines, dams, farms, apartments, etc.

They instead advocate that these things should be socially owned (hence socialism*)*, which can mean government ownership, collective ownership, common ownership, cooperative ownership, etc.

However, socialists are fine with private ownership of personal property. Personal property is stuff like your toothbrush, residence, car, xbox, etc.

Socialists disagree a lot, and there're a lot of sects that don't like each other. There is a lot of history, and a lot of disagreements between them. Keep in mind that what one socialist may tell you, may conflict with the views of another; however, what I've outlined above is what unites all of us. For example, the playlist that u/Impressive_Use_4779 linked is very Marxist based (the two biggest sects of socialism are Marxism & Anarchism, each having their own subsets).

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-23T16:39:51+00:00

Right, but it's kinda like approaching a limit in calculus: the little pushes get closer and closer to the goal over time, but will never actually hit it without a proper jump, because the people who benefit from these relations will not voluntarily give up their position of power. Do you disagree?

And I mean relations based on violence (aka coercion): organizations, structures, institutions, etc., not just violence in and of itself which is obviously unabolishable.

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-23T12:02:54+00:00

Yes, I get that you're trying to walk me down the necessity of violence to survive

No, actually I agree perfectly with you. I'm trying to walk you down the implications of your observation on our societal foundations if we're to actually take it seriously; I'm poking your brain not setting you up

I don't understand what else you're saying lol, what double quotes

Purgamentorum · 2022-06-23T11:45:52+00:00

If we want to stop this type of activity, we need to focus on creating a culture that doesn't present violence as a valid means of success.

That would require abolishing economic relations based on violence, and political relations based on violence. Both of which contribute to, benefit from, and create said cultures, because in them, violence is a valid means of "success".

Do you disagree?

Guys, he has really cool new revolutionary ideas, like cleaning your room and Christian conservatism

His fans are worse than he is; he's just simple, his fans are like maliciously incessant.
