RE: Jacobin article about Democratic Socialism
Glad to hear that! Now I will just have to wait to find out who will decide how big a parcel can be and if it's not better for the climate if all land was made 'public' and off limits for the peasants

RE: Jacobin article about Democratic Socialism
Petsonal property? How about private property? I own a piece of land on which I live. As a socialist, communist or Marxist do you think I should be able to do so, or should my land be taken away?

RE: The Start of the "Real-Anarchy" forum, and your favorite quote
Anarchists are never in a position of power because we reject power. What is power? Threat, coercion, control, violence. The Marxist doctrine that we need more state (socialism) in order to have no state

RE: Jacobin article about Democratic Socialism
In theory yes. It just seems that somehow instead of less state, socialists always end up having more state, by taking eventually complete control of the economic sphere, besides everything else they can

RE: Beyond the Capitalism/Socialism Dichotomy
It is rather disappointing to see that instead of having a discussion about how on Earth coercion in any of it's variations is compatible with spirituality or ethics, you chose to go straight ad hominem.

Property is not theft. I mix my labor with the land, build my house, make my garden, make goods. Even animals claim their territory. Try sleeping in the cave of a bear :) How is living life freely theft?

RE: How To Be A Communist?
It is hard to understand unless we take two things into account: 'Government' 'education' The fact that so many people need the state apparatus to keep up their Livestyle and will vote for anyone promising

RE: Beyond the Capitalism/Socialism Dichotomy
Interesting. To me everything voluntary is ethical and goes well with the spiritual path. Coercion on the other hand is evil. The most violent entity in sight is the state apparatus. It's the very structure

RE: Jacobin article about Democratic Socialism
Democratic Socialism is radical Statism. It's the absurd idea that somehow if we make the state apparatus even more powerful, we will be better off. More state = more violence = less freedom = more scarcity

RE: In Defense of Social Democracy: Contra Ron Paul & Conservatism
Democratic socialists try to make people think they stand for the same system as rich Scandinavian countries. They don't. Scandinavian countries are social democracies. Their economy is not centrally planned.

RE: How To Be A Communist?
Exactly. 'Because violent people exist, we need a social structure based on the initiation of violence - to stop the violence.' This non-sequitur has cost the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

RE: How To Be A Communist?
Socialism wants us to completely ignore the violent dragon in the living room threatening us, stealing from us, killing us and wants us instead to blame capitalism and ourselves. The multi-decade campaign

RE: Awareness
Yes. Without darkness this experience we know so little about would also be lacking all the challenge and excitement, wouldn't it? But that doesn't mean we have to give in to darkness, we just have to

RE: Freedom is Inevitable
All energy that goes into criticising others and their ways, is missplaced energy. All energy that goes into questioning and bettering our own ways, is energy well used. Agreed. I just realized for myself

RE: Who here is pro abortion?
Very difficult topic. My view: Danger to mother: abortion ok. Rape: abortion ok. It is still problematic, but there is no other way. All other cases: abortion is initiation of force. Sex leads to pregnancy.

RE: The TRUTH about Roger Ver, Bitcoin and BCH (and why you and your $ should stay away)
Alright. This is crypto. It's the wild wild west all over again. People lie, people steal, people have motives you don't know about. IN ORDER TO MAKE ANY SENSE OF THIS, YOU WILL HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

People need to realize it's a war out there. Don't be stupid, do your own research on both sides, see who is real and who is pushing an agenda and for what motive. It's your money. Research or lose. Distrust
