My guess is there is an admin that knows where each contributor is from. And can approve or decline check in requests.

Imagine when AI is automating the whole process. Including the phone call.

There’s an exponential amount of time between each panel. 1 hour, 5 hours, 2 days for the answer.

I’ve definitely come to understand there’s a lot of brands of anarchism. I don’t think my initial opinion about anarchism has changed much, though, but I understand there is much more nuance to it.

This sounds interesting, and not at all what I would have thought of as anarchy. It definitely requires solidarity among its people.

I gotcha. It just feels to me like there are so many opportunities for the capitalists to abuse this system for their own profit and power. People are easily manipulated, even when they think what they’re doing is for the good of the community.

Maybe the factory doesn’t sell, but it could still very much feed the capitalists through manipulation of the members of the council. My cynical view: It may not be immediate, but it will be inevitable.

Well, I don’t think a capitalist will call themselves a capitalist. I think they will have allies that get themselves appointed to the council and before we know it the factory is doing the bidding of the capitalists.

And yes, I am incredibly cynical (I blame the last 25 years), so I get that a less cynical perspective exists where this wouldn’t happen.

Is this a society without computers and other modern day electronics? Or do you think workers will be able to handle developing technology on their own?

So this anarchy is a self contained commune where nobody is allowed in that doesn’t agree with the rules. And if somebody breaks the rules, they must leave. This sums it up? It can’t apply to a country because that would never work. But to a small village, sure.

Also, hopefully the people outside the village don’t find ways of fucking with them (such as redirecting waterways that affect the downstream village).

You don’t think the capitalists would have the resources to defend themselves?

I just don’t understand how people think an anarchy can protect itself from capitalism.

Neither a company nor a person can own a factory, or a farm, or the power grid

And who is going to stop a company from owning a factory or a farm? It wouldn’t even require violence for a company to do so. It just requires them to have enough resources to pay people to do it.

I guess I don’t see what you call “anarchy” as a system that would ever exist more than a year. The end result would always be “anarcho-capitalism”. That, or, people would have to form their own government to prevent that system.

So, do the anarchists not think that capitalism will just prevail and bring along with it the classes of the haves and have nots? Anarchy won’t solve the problem of wealth inequality, will it? I have genuinely never understood this aspect of anarchism.

Do anarchists think anarchy will result in a system with no classes?

I bought my son a computer for Christmas and put an i9 in it. Not a great graphics card, but it gets the job done. Bought him some games on steam that play great. He was playing a first person shooter on chrome today.

How about a pond?

It makes me happy to see the good place memes.
