Anarchism is about eliminating unjust hierarchy, we can still provide services through publicly operated programs, and a mail delivery service nicely fits within many anarchist frameworks.
Logicacly this means i must support authotorian states that also happen to oppose my nation.
But i don’t. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend just like i dont believe either of the violent gangs fighting eachother are really going to “protect” me.
Ah but if i do not support authotorian states then logicaly i am supporting the nation “empire” i say i oppose.
But i don’t. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend…
switzerland already did that to some degree. turns out a whole lot of democracy is boring stuff that most people don’t want to bother with, it’s only some specific decisions they want total control over.
imo the right answer would be a system where elected representatives exist but can lose their power at any time. like, imagine a system where voting power on legislation belongs to the people, and bills get introduced through having the support of a certain number of people, but you can delegate your voting power to a representative of your choice, at any time you want, with no fixed terms.
protests would have teeth in a system like that, because they would directly result in the refusal and re-delegation of power immediately, with no need to wait for elections, and no need to weigh a low number of parties. you can just select whoever to handle your vote, whenever. and if you don’t like that person, select someone else.
we could even include an option to override your rep and directly vote on specific issues without having to change reps or throwing your vote away on the day-to-day technicalities that your rep would understand far better than you.
It becomes easier when humans don’t have the toil of physically moving the packages. My husband would build and program the robots right now if I let him. (Too afraid that he’ll overthrow society before the 4 thieves vinegar collective publishes the recipes for the medications that I need to survive)

Gotta break it down to the most basic terms for the libs and tankies, but they’re still gonna clutch their false narratives.
I oppose my nation and its authority.

One thing anarchism certainly isnʻt, is a monolith.
Til social democracy is anarchism
if you perhaps replace representative democracy with direct democracy

Sounds like liquid democracy:

Ok
that’s… not how anarchism works. social anarchism in particular aims to create and nurture public benefit programs
Which is just an organized government again.
The issue isn’t people organising society, its people having authority and enforcing their ideas onto everyone else.
We can argue if the outcome could still br called a governement or needs a different name all together but that is just sementics.
Anarcho-syndicalism still delivers mail. In theory, at least.

I already value your husband more then i do entire companies.
I do not understand the point in forcing people to do jobs that they arent passionate about.
A few motivated nerds, those are people i can trust to deliver excelent results to the benefit of all.
Lmfao
Anarchism is just three libertarian racoons in a trench coat.
I’m kidding, put down the pitchforks
Imagine confusing anarchism with anarchy, as an intellectual position.
Which isnʻt what happening, but some joyless wet blankets just canʻt help themselves.
That’s literally what happened. You know, like when you thought I was mistaken and commented on that. Is it only okay when you do it?
Just try an not be such a miserable killjoy. Life is hard and dark enough.
