/libcom/ - Libertarian Communism

>You seem to be against pluralism which as I stated in my previous post, I think is really important.

A capitalist system cannot exist alongside a socialist one. They're two opposing ideologies, sticking a word 'pluralism' on an impossible concept will not make it plausible.

I just stumbled across this a few minutes ago, good idea.

that wooden fish hook video is useful, did not know you could do that

>>23
the aim in the sticky is OK:

"Board for poorfags, freegans, hobos, homesteaders, etc. to share knowledge about saving/not needing money, help each other, chat, and more."

it looks like tips for the poor/working class to improve their lives in capitalism, eat cheaper and so on

i dont think theyre saying it is a permanent solution

>Libertarian Communism's the biggest oxymoron I've ever read.

terms may have different meanings and associations in other parts of the world than they have in the us

You're right.

This board will expire in either 3 or 7 days.

Could be as general as anrcho left maybe /anarchlft/ something along those lines. But I support the idea of a change.

But then again we should stick around on /anarcho/. Id rather debate the sit around and jerk each other off in a "safe place".

Doesn't read as nice imo
>>41
Absolutely. I just hope that /anarcho/ calms the fuck down in a couple of days/weeks at least. Right now it's a pretty immature atmosphere over there, from both left and right.
Hopefully some underlying solidarity will be found between both sides, and discussions could evolve towards a base of "anarchist-without-adjectives"-position.

I agree with everything except the black bloc

You make a good point, but I think it is still necessary to get out on the streets and voice disapproval. Black bloc doesn't imply violence, rioting and fighting cops. Black bloc makes it hard to identify protesters, gives an illusion of greater numbers and a black mass of people moving towards you, screaming and shouting is intimidating.

People (other than activists) need to be shown that it is OK to disobey the police, to get out on the streets, organize, etc.

> Black bloc doesn't imply violence, rioting and fighting cops

I know dude. But it easily results into violence because of pigs' provos. We should be very careful.

>>27
The answer to police violence can't be to roll over and take it.

It just means more people need to be out there, risking comfort, so when police provoke there are consequences. Look at Ukraine, sure they lacked a strong left and ended up with a right government and civil war, but the changes started with protests.

As someone that a libertarian socialist and I have some anarchist tendencies I've seen some shit that just puts me off anarchist movements. Granted I've only really seen this stuff online, so my opinion aint worth shit, but lets go.


1. anti science - I've seen some anarchists oppose issues such as GM grops without much of a scientific understanding. There's plenty of arguments against it from an economic POV(such as locking people into monopolies and the abuse of copyright law) but the idea that this shit is going to destroy the world shouldn't be as prevalent as it is. Same goes for nuclear power.

2. I'm not sure how common this is, but if someone has some problems with feminist theory(a lot of which disagrees with each other) they can be labeled as an anti feminist. To me that sounds like if someone doesn't like marxist theory, they're against the working class.

3. Lifestyle anarchism is just bad PR . I mean it might be great on an individual level, but if there was a way to separate the association between lifestyle and anarchist theory/practice

4. How popular is anarchism in workers movements and such? I know it used to be quite popular, more so than marxism in some areas, but is it essentially dead at the moment?

5. laugh at derick jenson more

GM crops won't destroy the world, but there should be more regulation. And why are governments against labelling GMO food as such? This is a new technology yet it has been released everywhere. GM seeds are spread to non-GM crops, making them GM and opening farmers to lawsuits. French farmers committing suicide because Monsanto sues them into bankruptcy.

I'm not against GM crops where they're necessary: tough environments. We don't need GM crops where regular crops grow just fine.

Regarding nuclear power, I think that's the future of clean energy. Aside from the spent fuel (which can be stored safely) it is clean and safe.

Yes, but I also think those who follow anarchist theory should try to apply them in their lives. For example, don't open a small business and employ people.

>4
I think in regions that have been historically leftist anarcho-syndicalism still has a foothold among workers. It's important to understand that not everyone is 'educated' and while they may agree with anarchist ideas, even support them, they might not know they're anarchist ideas.

Can't comment on that as I've never ready any of his stuff.

Pretty much.
