My house is on fire. I am gonna call firefighters.
Anachrist: First you should dismantle capitalism.
Funny, but not accurate
Yeah it’s more like:
HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, CALL THE FIREMEN
Anarchist: we don’t need the state to solve our problems, we can do this
BUT DUDE, MY HOU–
Anarchist: let’s get some buckets
Is it seriously your contention that effective firefighting can’t exist without a state?
No, not at all. A state isn’t necessary for anything
I am the anarchist in this joke
On Lemmy, it’s more like “oh you’re an anarchist? You obviously haven’t read enough Lennin”
I’m entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20’s who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn’t would think those are profound criticisms.
People keep saying that about lemmy, but I haven’t seen it. Maybe it is your filter bubble?
To be fair, your instance has defederated from the 2 large tankie instances.
“Oh you’re an anarchist? Then solve literally one problem that doesn’t create ten other, worse problems. Seriously, just one. Please”
imagine there is a evil capitalist who makes your fav social network unfree. and there is a anarchisticly organized fediverse that gives you a save haven from it.
It doesn’t have to solve every problem, but it does have to result in a better world than we have now, which it won’t.
Look I’m not saying we have to switch to a total lack of hierarchy immediately. I just want us to start at the top and eat our way down and see how that affects things.
(Researchers going over ancient Internet history): Wow there must have been some SERIOUS food crisis going on from 2000-20xx! There’s so much talk about cannibalism and guillotines!
