Yea but the charity has to be nice to you since they depend on volunteers.
How is this any different from the, "if you don't like your job you can just leave" argument?
The presence of a safe word doesn't exclude the existence of a hierarchy in the same way that "checks and balances" doesn't make a hierarchy any less hierarchical.
Voluntary hierarchies are not a thing.
Sounds like a shittake emanating from the same kind of anarchists that loudly proclaim the values of "leaderless" organisation before posting a meme glorifying Nestor Makhno.
I just don’t think it’s better to go through fascism
Accept the liberal carrot and you won't get the fascist stick. If the carrot is rotton to the core, just pretend it isn't. Easy, no?
The capitalist status quo is protected by a political wing we call "liberalism" and a paramilitary wing we call "fascism."
Carrot and stick, good cop/bad cop - pick your metaphor.
For far too long, leftists have laboured under the delusion that liberals are merely "misguided" people that can be "pushed" left as soon as we could get them to read this or that book by our favourite Beardy McDeadguy. This kind of understanding of these people we call "centrists," "moderates," and, by far the most accurate term, "liberals," completely ignores the fact that it is liberalism - not fascism - that is the true ideology of privilege. Privilege that means that liberals are even more invested in the maintenance of the status quo that the rank and file of fascism are.
The left has always proven itself capable of defeating fascists - but it seems that it has no real answer to the insidious, co-opting tentacles of the liberal and the mountain of lies liberalism is built upon.
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
Anarchism is "extreme" left now? Since when?
This sounds no different than the "far left" bullcrap liberals and their fascist cousins have been peddling in the last while.
YDI.
You're a genocide denier. No ifs, ands or buts.
Without making conditions worse for people.
Did you happen to notice what Palestinians had to recently go through just to make people in the US's blinkers fall off?
There are no magic wands that will make this happen without things getting much, much worse. Of course, that doesn't mean things won't get much, much worse anyway.
It’s our current system.
Yes, the one you just learned happily funds genocide - just like it has for more than a hundred years now.
What is a stronger and more viable path forward in your opinion?
You mean... apart from something that can be called democratic with a straight face?
Call Israel a Nazi regime or call it a kapo regime... it all pretty much boils down to the same thing.
Brits literally turned against and fought the Communist Resistance
The Yanks did pretty much the same thing in northern Italy.
they get pissy
At least that means it's having an effect, no?
"Conservatism" is a long, long dead political tradition, Clyde. You call fascists "conservatives" because they (and the liberal media) tells you to.
It's no wonder they run rings around you when it comes to the propaganda game.
Damn. So that means all males (including me) are technically transgender.
I think I'll have some coffee, then.
I have no idea why you Yanks insist on doing fascists such a huge favour by calling them "conservatives."
I want to know how you figure fake democracy substitute qualifies as "the strongest path forward to a better system."
Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.
Citation needed.
One of the biggest scams liberalism pulled on us is to convince us that we exist in societies where we actually have "rights" and "freedoms."
In reality, we exist in a society that is hierarchically based on privilege.
