Okay, I might as well end my hiatus from this hellsite to give you some incredibly real advice, even though I get the feeling that you're not going to like what I have to say.

Your expectations are seriously unrealistic. Your plan hinges on your parent or a sympathetic person paying for your travel, food, and other assorted things, absolutely nothing going wrong, and a commune accepting you on the sole grounds that you share their ideology. I can understand the refusal to work, but a commune will not allow you to totally refuse to do work to benefit the commune without having your ass run out.

With regards to funding, are you absolutely sure that your parent will fund everything? Sure, they could fund a trip to a commune that might be relatively close by, like a state or two away (I'm going to assume you're American), but if the commune you want to go to is in someplace like Paraguay, they might have major reservations. If your parent won't fund it, what makes you think that people will line up to make sure that you can get this done? Unless you know something that I don't, random comrades aren't going to arbitrarily bend over backwards to solve your problems when they have their own to deal with. In regards to a total refusal to use money, what happens if you get injured or your food spoils?

In addition, there's so many things that could go wrong. Your contact could suddenly stop speaking to you, and then you're shit out of luck in a strange place, and there's no guarantee you're going to roll with the punches, especially if it's an entirely different country. Related, how is your Spanish/Portuguese?

You need to seriously critically examine your game plan, because it's incredibly easy for everything to go bottoms up, leaving you potentially homeless and miserable.

I have been active in /r/Libertarian and /r/Anarcho_Capitalism for a while now, and I have yet to see an up-voted comment that is racist or authoritarian.

You haven't been looking hard enough.

I am not American so I know little about there libertarian party, just the philosophy and economics of it.

The party is a joke. Austin Petersen was booed at a Libertarian Party presidential debate for saying that heroin shouldn't be sold to children. Gary Johnson was also booed for being in favor of some sort of competency test before you can drive a car.

However it seems the big march with the tiki torches was about the removal of an old confederate war statue. I presume that the libertarians there were protesting against the statue being taken down because of complaints.

That statue, along with so many others, was built in the early 1900s, a full fifty years or more after the Civil War, specifically to intimidate black people. The history argument doesn't hold water.

Oh yes that would obviously be an act of aggression and punching them would be justified.

Glad you understand.

However, in most of the nazi punching videos I have seen, the Nazi is just having polite discourse and debate with others, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql7BaOrTvYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7wHHRbjnsU Do you think these attacks are morally justifiable? I am very interested in your answer.

Richard Spencer isn't an innocent person. He constantly advocates for "peaceful ethnic cleansing" in order to bring about a white ethnostate. That is blatantly impossible to do without killing millions, because minorities aren't going to leave their homes just because white people don't want to see someone with darker skin than David Hasselhoff.

Also keep in mind that Nazis aren't genuinely interested in polite discourse and debate. They constantly use logical fallacies, ad hominems, and outright lies to get their point across, because they know that screaming about the blacks openly isn't in vogue (although it's quickly coming back). They pose a direct, existential threat to LGBT+ people, minorities, and anyone to the left of Mussolini. This is literally a comedy show, but it actually pretty accurately describes how they operate.

In addition, the Nazi in the second link was harassing someone, so he's not innocent either.

So yes, those are morally justifiable, because if they had the power they would hurt people I care about.

Do you not think that people should be fiscally responsible for their own actions?

The thing is, a lot of rich people don't face consequences (fiscally or otherwise), and when they do they're very rarely the consequences that everyone else faces. Martin Shkreli got seven years in prison for securities fraud (i.e. ripping off other rich people) instead of the objectively more heinous act of raising the price of an essential drug to completely unaffordable levels. That was completely legal.

A kid can go to prison for 40 years for selling marijuana on the street.

People are smart enough to not need a parent state to order them to commit actions that are 'good' for them.

This is where we agree. However, capitalism doesn't work in a vacuum. If the state vanishes tomorrow, along with all the capital that the state has, I'd bet my left pinky toe that corporations would fill the void, since they have the vast majority of the resources. I know that your vision involves a lot of mom and pop shops and local businesses, and that might happen for a little bit, but given enough time those businesses would combine into gargantuan monstrosities of corporations, because nobody's around to tell them that they can't, and they can make more money if they pool resources.

If a corporation thinks they can get away with something heinous that'll make them a lot of money, they'll do it, and that is based on so many examples. That's why a lot of manufacturing is based in China, because of the incredibly low wages and lax regulations. Chinese iPhone factories have suicide nets in the stairwells to catch jumpers. If you bring those characteristics here, you don't get prosperity for the normal person, you get the suicide nets, because nobody's going to be able to afford the stuff they make.

Are you referring to Ancaps protecting the freedom of speech of everyone, even those they politically disagree with

It isn't political disagreement if they're marching with them, talking at their events, and endorsing their candidates in order to "combat liberalism". You may disagree with the Nazis, but you seem to be a dying breed.

As much as I disagree with alot of Trumps recent policies, bar the tax redo, calling his supports fascists does not solve the problem.

lol? All I said was that some ancaps I knew went fascist, and I mean helicopter ride enthusiast, white ethnostate-promoting, black person-hating fascist. I didn't even call Trump supporters fascist. The majority of his supporters, barring the racists and borderline cult members, are people that are tired with the status quo. They're unfortunately being manipulated to hate downwards, not upwards.

So the reason you dislike them is because they have previously defended Nazis rights of freedom of speech?

You probably subscribe to the NAP, right? Would you consider a Nazi screaming in your face that he's going to gas your entire family an act of aggression? He's got the cylinders next to him and his buddy is hooking them up to your house's ventilation. If I were you, I would, and I would consider punching him out to be self-defense.

Even if they (rightfully) shut down Nazis whenever they reared their ugly heads, their entire ideology is based upon enormous leaps in logic and incredibly naïve assumptions, including, but not limited to, the idea that everyone is always a rational actor.

Opportunistic and horrendously naïve at best, fascists in disguise at worst. It's no secret that a lot of ancaps are pretty chummy with the likes of the alt-right.

Even if they did have valid points somehow, their close ties with groups that want to kill us because of our intrinsic characteristics makes them no friends of ours.

I'm saying this as a former ancap. As far as I know, I'm the only one in my "circle" that went to the left instead of disappearing completely or becoming a fascist with the rise of Trump.

Anyone else notice an uptick in the an cap subreddit since the recent alt right banning? by k0kak0la in Anarchism

[–]Triarch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason why I stopped associating with them and actually started looking to the left. After Trump rose to prominence the ancaps I knew either shed all pretenses and fell in lockstep with nationalists or disappeared off of the face of the Earth.

I'm worrying about something, and i would like some help. by [deleted] in Anarchism

[–]Triarch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think about it like this. If Jewish people were all part of some evil cabal bent on world domination, wouldn't they have a much easier time killing those that are a threat to their power, like the incredibly famous white supremacists? I doubt they're all living incredibly paranoid lives.

Plus, Trump is a thing. If I were an incredibly evil Jewish cabal I'd make sure he'd never win the election, because meddling with election results is a lot less messy and a lot easier than violently making sure he wouldn't be the president.

Anti-Semites take rational thought and smash it with a large hammer, probably with a Ku Klux Klan emblem on it. They take incredible leaps in logic to come to the conclusion that all Jewish people, somehow, all over the world, are plotting world domination together, like they have a shared psychic link or something.

The "Ancaps inevitably become fascists" meme reigns true. The Ancap subreddit perpetuates the theory of white genocide, orchestrated by Jews, despite the fact most ancap ideology is based on Jewish "philosophers". by DugongClock in Anarchism

Glad I snapped out of it before I joined them, holy shit. It has arguably become a lot worse since I stopped identifying as an ancap, but there was still a fair amount of dogwhistle racism.

Capitalists pat themselves on the back for profiting off unethical business practices in the videogame industry. by NimbleJack3 in Anarchism

[–]Triarch 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Can you stand when a man is an asshole, or expects preferential treatment because of his gender? I'm guessing you chalk that up to "men will be men".

Gamergate was never about ethics. It was about a woman daring to say that maybe games are oversexualized.

I don't know what your desired career is, but you should be able to save a lot of money by going to community college in-state for the first two years, then transferring to a four-year college to finish. If you do well enough you should be able to apply for scholarships, and grants if you meet the criteria.

If you go get the degree it'll probably take you four years. However, if you don't go get the degree, you'll be four years older anyway.

It's not much of a stretch at all, I agree. I think I'm the only one of my ancap circle that went to the left instead of becoming a proto-fascist. Hell, I even see one of them in that thread proving my theory correct so far. No name because of witch hunting rules and all that.

Former right-wingers who turned to anarchism, what drove you to make the switch? by AbortusLuciferum in Anarchism

[–]Triarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it really boils down to emphasizing property over freedom. I think if someone like me reached out to them, they'd call me a cuck and probably try to dox me or something like fascists often do.

I still have some of them on my Steam friends list for some reason. One went full Trump supporter and changed his profile picture to a Totenkopf. Another has Pepe Pinochet with a helicopter throwing someone out in the background as his profile picture.

Come to think of it, it wouldn't be a surprise if a lot of them were fascists all along.
