While respecting the rights and autonomy of the individual. It is entirely about respecting individual freedom while also encouraging work together as a community.

Yes, I agree, which would disagree with the other comment’s point that socialism inherently opposes individualism.

“The system is shitty and I’m forced to do shitty, stupid things so I’m able to see my children. So obviously the solution is to give in and be shitty myself”

Literally go fuck yourself.

Fuck the car getting damaged, it’s the risk of you dying because an erratic driver crashed into you. Just let them pass and choose life instead of pride.

* Anarchism has entered the chat*

Yea just gonna full sail disagree with you on this claim.

Mines been gone ever since what they did to fuck over Bernie from receiving the nomination.

Tell me you know nothing of human history without telling me you know nothing of human history.

How does this fit the sub? Like… It isn’t even a meme

You can replace “American Democracy” with “Electoralism”.

The electorate will always be at the whim of those in power under this type of system because that is the fundamental nature of hierarchy.

Oh, this one hits good.

This is absolutely praxis. This is directly denying the owning class from profiting off of the people and getting resources directly into their hands.

The only thing that could be better is raiding the stores and giving the food away for free.

Semantics, but they have always had power in our government. They built and designed it to serve their interests. The state fundamentally exists to maintain ruling class hierarchy and enforce laws which govern our systems of ownership. The ruling class uses the media to keep the people brainwashed into thinking the system exists to “protect them” and “maintain order”. The problem is intersectional.

But you are right, participation is a choice. We can stop and organize among ourselves to create a new society out from under the boot of authoritarian oppression. So, for people to not participate, we must create alternatives for them to choose from to meet the need they are trying to fill and make it as convenient and available for people as possible to encourage them to make the jump.

70s.

The 1870s.

And the owners of private media are also the owners of our government. That’s kinda the big problem at hand. The state exists to reinforce ruling class interests.

It is naive to think the way the system works is because the majority want it to work this way.

States aren’t ruled by public opinion. Public opinion is ruled by states.

As a leftie who has been forced to use right handed scissors, this is how I’ve done it since I figured it out as a kid.

Mamdani is a proponent of democratic socialism, which is distinctly different from social democracy.

No, what means the person has anxiety is the overthinking of a mundane social situation to the point it tires the person out from doing so.

You need to read more about the anarchist aspects that Graeber and LeGuin advocate. Conflict in inevitable with the ruling powers that create these circumstances which dictate how society at large behaves but conflict doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

What you’re talking about is in fact created by humans. We create the conditions that incentivizes that behavior. He goes over the mechanisms behind it in his books “Debt” and “Dawn of Everything”. Humanity doesn’t just default to hierarchy.

It is entirely possible to build new and then enforce our autonomy from the current ruling class. We know it is possible. We have done it before and we can do it again.

The ghoul is braindead and being kept alive through artificial support. Although, regardless of the specific condition, we can infer with near certainty that he is a vegetable.

If he wasn’t, they would have at the very least put him on a video call interview to show that he is alive, awake, and coherent.
