Exactly.

What are the jokers?

$250k per offence is literally nothing to meta.

Is it? Pretty much every philosopher thought so, even the federalists, which is why they made a republic. And it’s always been a bourgeois republic. Democracy pure is a bunch of idiots listening to social media influencers picking good talkers at the margin of 1% every 4 years. It’s always been theater. It’s manufactured consent.

I mean that's your model. As far as it's absolute, it's wrong. There are good laws that don't protect mere property: murder, rape, assault, etc. And we don't want vigilante justice dealing with these things. Basically I can admit laws can be unjust, but you can't admit laws can be just. In such a case, you need to meet your burden of proof.

lol what about all the lone actors who didn’t succeed. Worldwide. Don’t just cherry pick the losses. And those guys did not bioweapon the earth.

Sure laws can be bad /c/im14andthisisdeep. Now you do it! Can laws be good?

What you’re advocating for is not trying, because freedom is more important than practical safety.

Here’s your guide: hit your cellphone and laptop with a hammer until it’s a fine paste. Then dump it randomly into 3-4 different trashcans. Drive a beater.

They are already possible so we have massive networks of laws and security to try and detect and stop them. That security imposes its will by force onto the perpetuator. Thats not anarchism

Your second paragraph just proves you don’t understand the nature of power. Why did Russia Cuba and NK need nukes? Because people without nukes are weak to their enemies. So until the anarchist territory is global, it needs to participate in global geopolitics, in which nukes are actually one of your primary bargaining chips.

Otherwise you’re just a piece of land with no government, and most historical invasions take place when land becomes an easy conquest. Because land is materially useful.

The communists had to be militarily STRONG to survive and continue the revolution. And that’s why they tended to kill their anarchist neighbors instead of the other way around. They did power better.

No war ever fought was fought for or benefited the working class. It was always to benefit someone else. Even when the socialists did it, they did it as a vanguard party, and that vanguard ultimately did it to benefit themselves. Sometimes they have the ancillary benefit of redeeming some horror in our past, like slavery, but people are naive if they think the north went to war with the south to eliminate slavery, or that the Americans won against the British without French help, who mostly had victory against the British on their mind, not American independence.

Instead, society changes when material conditions change. It rarely changes through ideologically motivated struggle. It changes overnight because someone invented the lightbulb, discovered a new continent, or a new farming technique, etc. Entire empires have fallen practically overnight because of the switch from peasantry to steam powered industry. Nothing can prevent it, and barely a drop of blood need be spilt, because it's inevitable.

Trump CANT stop green energy development, because now it's cheaper than coal. That's a material condition change. That's the best kind of resistance you can do.

Because an organized state will always overpower it. And history is a story of power.

I always say, show me the theory that allows anarchists to maintain a complex network of nuclear armament. You can't "anarchically control" the nukes.

People just never really come to grips with the era we actually live in. We live in an era where a spaceship could throw an asteroid at the earth, or where a guy in a garage with an axe to grind could release an extinction level bioweapon, or where a computer program made by a skilled hacker could decimate power grids and kill millions. We are terraforming the earth. We are in a society that is much closer to godhood than to primitive man.

Exactly, like trump didn't gain any significant increase in voters, democrats didn't show up. And now we are here. And now they want to become terrorists. Like you literally just had to show up, why should I trust you're gonna show up for "the revolution" now?

And fighting the US government is like fighting the weather. If they wanted to, they could literally drone strike you. We are fighting powers that are basically like gods these days. People let that sneek up on them. NOTHING like WW2, which still required the entire western sphere to militarily engage with germany, not some rag tag civilian groups.
