  • First, you are a very unpleasant person

    You being wrong makes me unpleasant now. LOL. Okay. I’d say that fuckers who jump into to defend ignorant liberals in arnarchist forums are unpleasant, personally.

    Second, that’s a weirdly specific definition of private property.

    It’s the definition that’s been used by leftists since the advent of capitalism, and perhaps before. Yes, liberals’ attempts to disarm our language by using to mean anything that’s not owned by the state has done a number on your brain, making it sound “weird” to ignorant, propagandized fools. Can’t argue with that.

    Last, if I need to exploit other peoples labor to derive value to have private property, and we’re using violence to do it, then we just invented slavery again.

    Yes, capitalism is wage slavery. Correct. It has somewhat different characteristics from chattel slavery (which capitalism still uses when convenient, such as in the U.S. prison-industrial complex), but slavery it is nonetheless.




  • Thusly, any violent revolution stands a STRONG chance of being shunned by those who do not want a government with sanctioned violence.

    I disagree with this part. Violent revolution—violent opposition to our oppression—is absolutely necessary. However, turning it on ourselves—that is, in any direction other than that which opposes authority—is a recipe for disaster as you say.

    It’s not violence itself that is the problem. There are literally always forms of violence sanctioned by every single political philosophy (including absolute pacifism/non-violence, which sanctions violence performed by the state even if its subscribers often don’t realize this). The question is how and when that violence is performed and by whom, and the anarchist/non-authoritarian answer is that it must only be in the struggle for liberation, not the fight to gain and maintain power over others.
