It doesn't have to solve every problem, but it does have to result in a better world than we have now, which it won't.

Look I'm not saying we have to switch to a total lack of hierarchy immediately. I just want us to start at the top and eat our way down and see how that affects things.
(Researchers going over ancient Internet history): Wow there must have been some SERIOUS food crisis going on from 2000-20xx! There's so much talk about cannibalism and guillotines!
"Oh you're an anarchist? Then solve literally one problem that doesn't create ten other, worse problems. Seriously, just one. Please"
imagine there is a evil capitalist who makes your fav social network unfree. and there is a anarchisticly organized fediverse that gives you a save haven from it.
Lemmy is not anarchy. The fedivierse is not anarchy.
Anarchism is not the absense of rules, it's about free association, cooperation and avoiding unjust hierarchies.
On Lemmy, it's more like "oh you're an anarchist? You obviously haven't read enough Lennin"
I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.
People keep saying that about lemmy, but I haven't seen it. Maybe it is your filter bubble?
To be fair, your instance has defederated from the 2 large tankie instances.
Same here, these people constantly complaining about "tankies" seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience
Isn't it the opposite here. Idk if when they say tankie they mean leftist hexbear users or maga type right wing people. That's not trying to insult hexbear. I literally don't know.
I get called a tankie or centrist here compared to reddit where only a few times I was called a centrist.
My house is on fire. I am gonna call firefighters.
Anachrist: First you should dismantle capitalism.
Anarchists aren't against firefighters, though? Only the police.
Funny, but not accurate
Yeah it's more like:
HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, CALL THE FIREMEN
Anarchist: we don't need the state to solve our problems, we can do this
BUT DUDE, MY HOU--
Anarchist: let's get some buckets
Is it seriously your contention that effective firefighting can't exist without a state?
No, not at all. A state isn't necessary for anything
I am the anarchist in this joke
Pretty sure eating billionaires and pumping their Ill gotten gains into systems that help humanity would fix most issues. Kill off any greedy fucks
Not really anarchy is it?
