“Western democracy” is a sham, but not as much as neofeudalism or whatever this tard advocates

Pic related addresses this about the Spanish Revolution. They tried “workers seizing the means of production” method, long romanticized, but you have to cast a larger net. Organize 60+% or more.

What did I love about him? He’s alright. Not hating him.

I tend towards Bakunin/Herod’s anarcho-communism, but have lately been seeing sense in the ecological side of the an-prims. We’re in for a rough time if not extinction.

Naw. Bobby doesn’t read much apparently

Direct Democracy

The opposite, actually.
Although genuine civil society would have this characteristic

>>19222417
Divvy them up.
Let the population contract naturally

>>19195269
Can you fucking not.

>>19189895
There is. I’ve mentioned some of it before.

>>19132723
I wish we would too

There’s no reforming the system with its own institutions.
There’s no such thing as a political revolution from the inside. It’s a social revolution or it won’t be socialist

Community organizing
We need to work less. Do only what we need to, and want to.
As opposed to what *they* want us to do

LARPing troll, you have revealed yourself.
Slink away in shame now. We’re talking socialists books here.

My instinct leads me to believe starting with small affinity groups. Could be a book club at first.
I was in a foodenong place reading when a group of people started to form, talking about politics, seems they were of differing opinions but getting along.

>I want one form of corruption to replace the other form of corruption

The definition of insanity

>it's not how things work
It is how things can work.

Ah. No. They were a minority taking advantages of a split. A political dirty trick parliamentarians use all the time. Lenin and company were Mensheviks till people got shot or imprisoned.
Winning over people take time. I of course mean in the lead up. Which, in the hypothetical, we’d have and we’d keep political (statesmen/statecraft) from happening and achieve an actual *social* revolution

>>18923977
You not smart enough?

>>18924052
We have people rooting for city representative teams here. Doesn’t even matter who’s playing or where they’re from, it’s just the color of their uniforms. Nations-states are things on a lawyer’s paper. They don’t exist. People naturally like each other enough to defend their neighbors, befriend the like minded etc. natural bonds will continue and grow.
Sessions of director democracy also achieves that solidarity

>>18924091
Same-speaking groups banding together is fine, but look at Spain. What right do they have over the non-Spanish speakers? Statism is disgusting lawyer fictions.

>>18823046
Anarcho-communism isn’t statist at all. IWW is against the wage system (or they were supposed to be) but they’re essentially just syndicalists. Which tactically falls short

>All
Your memory is so short, and you like to point out the heft of the Leviathan monster.
>is through it
And so, Direct Democracy, sans capitalist market economies, for the Leviathan is two headed, can bring it down

>a patch of dirt is already a garden if you squint hard enough.
We aren’t at day one and you don’t advocate ever getting there. You just claim they’re working together already and we don’t need anything else. Your to axe grind with Wolff is bizarre. Just say it doesn’t go far enough or something. No, you advocate sitting still. The protests in the US that I’ve seen are controlled pacifist deals, but I hope there are genuine ones building, but strikes are asking permission. I promote organizing whole neighborhoods, but WSDEs right along with them is certainly necessary.
> and how co-ops didn't play a role in them.
Catalonia, anon. Workers taking control of their workplaces.

And fascists killed the Italian socialists
