It's a whole new paradigm, will take a minute to learn. Your entire system is built from a file called '/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'. To change your configuration or install packages you edit the file and rebuild the system. You can roll back to any previous configuration at any time. You can save the file and rebuild that exact system at any time or share it with others.

Every communist revolution simply assumed control of a government that was already built by hierarchical elites. The military and economic powers predate communism. Communism became what it hates because power always corrupts.
Bakunin and the anarchist faction tried telling this to Marx and the communist faction from within the broader 19th century leftist movement. Marx didn't listen and now folks like you think all leftists are communists and statists.

You and I have had discussions like this before. I think it can be reduced to a chicken and egg problem. What Mr. Brock and I are saying (I think) is the powerful will create or co-opt governments, that the force already exists before the government does.
The government is a consequence of force, not the source.

If you think telecommunications didn't accelerate centralization and authoritarianism faster relative to overall human enrichment then you're out of your mind.
Also, you can't apply negative (or positive) traits to whole class of people by calling them all lazy and compliant to tyrants. You should make these judgements on individuals relative to humanity. A large enough group of people mostly has the same attributes as all of humanity. You're throwing shade on billions of people which is kind of anti-human.

The technological moves toward freedom will do nothing more than undo the technological moves away from freedom. We would still be on the gold standard if the telegraph was never invented. Without telecommunications then the hierarchical head of a community would need to live locally instead of on an island somewhere.

Where does the political class come from? It doesn't appear as if by magic. It grows from the economically powerful surplus extracting ruling class. The Bolshevik revolution just assumed the levers of power that were left by the previous feudal monarchy.
It's as simple as the ruling class vs the working class. The ruling class can be in several forms including monarchs and feudal lords, corporate global capitalists and communist bureaucrats. Anarchism solves this.

Maybe entrepreneurialism without the state is egalitarian enough. Problems arise when rich people start forming governments and making rules for the poors, it amplifies their economic power. Maybe libertarian/authoritarian thought is more relevant. Maybe left/right thought is irrelevant and outdated and will die with the boomers.
Anarchism was once the boogeyman to the powerful before the Bolsheviks. It was so much a threat that they actually changed it's meaning to a synonym of chaos.

Agreed that imagined enemies are no good for anyone. That battle has already been won in north america as far as I'm concerned. Maybe the big tech overlords are amplifying it, I dunno.
There will always be hierarchy, nobody is denying that. However it shouldn't span multiple generations and regions. A human being's greatness should come entirely from their actions in their lifetime and constrained to their region. If someone invents something that improves humanity then let him profit. Upon his death the descendants shouldn't benefit from intellectual property, it should be a gift to humanity.

The left fighting hard for equal rights between man and woman is one example of removing a pecking order.
Another example is the left fighting hard for equal rights between blacks and whites.
The left generally dislikes the statist military more than the right. The military is very hierarchical which is less appealing to a leftist.
Do you want more examples of why the left dislikes hierarchy? Jonathan Haidt covers this well in his book "The Righteous Mind".

2024-03-20 18:47:30

- reply

Can we leave the boomer state of mind behind in 2024 please? Left-right is not collectivist vs individualist despite what the cold war MSM tells you.
Left/right is oriented toward hierarchy and class.
Rightists believe in pecking order through meritocracy, success and innovation.
Leftists believe in egalitarianism through fairness where nobody gets power over another because of an underserved station in life through hereditary means. (or something like that)
This means the American Revolution was a leftist movement IN IT'S TIME (<------emphasis) because they were fighting the hierarchy of the colonial/feudal system.

I just think the terms "left" and "right" are too broad. More specific names for groups is needed. I'm on the left, I am certainly not for appropriating property from others and I certainly don't give a shit about this Gen Z gender fluid shit.

Well not all of us on the left have gone insane. The previous iteration of left isn't what we see today. We used to be unequivocally the side against war and on the side of free speech. Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi talked about this recently on Glenn's Rumble page.
It's funny how even the right is anti-corporate now. I remember when the right saw no distinction between the corporation and the neighborhood entrepreneur. The right is appropriating anti corporatism just like it's appropriating Anarchism. I guess this is what success looks like.

"I am an anarchist, which means I believe in the abolition of all hierarchical power structures, especially capitalism and the state… I view the work we do as fighting back in the class war which the capitalist class wages on the rest of humanity. This also informs the way in which I want to organize, as I believe that any hierarchical power structure is bound to reproduce class dynamics and oppression. Thus, I want to engage in egalitarian forms of organizing that produce horizontal power structures based on mutual aid and solidarity, which are capable of liberating humans."

Once you see through the loaded language and only follow this video's logic without succumbing to how you're supposed to feel you see that this video basically makes the case that women are naturally anarchists and men are naturally statists.

Its not arbitrary because the wage system enables the payer to keep the financials secret. If the inputs and outputs are divided then the whole balance sheet must be transparent. Withholding and omitting knowledge is shady as well.

The less experienced ones can be mentored by an individual or a group.
If you wanted to be an apprentice lineman then I, as a journeyman lineman, could bring you into the fold in a 4 man crew. 2 journeymen, an equipment operator and an apprentice is a typical crew. Well we could say all income could be divided like journeymen take 30% each, equipment operator takes 20% and you the apprentice could take 20%. Or whatever is negotiated beforehand. This way everyone knows all the values and costs. The pay for the work is not secret. No secrets.

People can and should work together, then they should divide the output according to anegotiations before. Renting a human is as wrong as owning one.
If a child offered to shovel your driveway you should negotiate the price for the whole job. You SHOULD NOT pay him according to how long it takes. That would be renting a human, which would be slavery.

I'm criticising capitalism. You assume any criticism of it is communist. You're stuck.
Here's a position: if owning a human being is wrong then renting a human being with a wage is wrong as well. If one of the core tenets of capitalism was the abolishment of the wage system then I could get behind it.

I did not say before that inheritance should be redistributed. I say that nobody should have more than they can build with their own two hands, or in partnership with their neighbors.

The goal for the capitalist is domination. They say: "You don't like being a wage slave? Then you should start a business. If you're successful you can aquire some wage slaves of your own." Capitalism epouses freedom from government, but freedom from capitalists with dark triad traits has never been part of the deal.
The goal is to climb the tiers with the help of nepotism until your and your descendants are the ruling class. The ruling classes are always basically evil. Inheritance is the one thing that breaks the neat logic of capitalsism. Capitalism without inheritance could actually have a chance of working, but sadly that can never happen because appropriating inheritance would require an unjust use of force.

Some of the profits from my labor go to global elites who barely know they own a piece of my employer. They're certainly not part of my local community. Wealth is being extracted from my region.

Capitalism cannot work unless it is growing and dominating. It swallows up everything until it consumes the state. Once the delineation between capitalism and the state vanishes they the result is definitively fascism. Capitalism will always become the fascist state over time.
