Welcome to the FAC! Glad to have you all here.
Kyerat, check out our region's handbook here, page=dispatch/id=567019 , which has some suggestions for instroductory readings into anarchism! hope that helps you!
Thank you for the kind words comrade! It means a lot coming from you! I'll get to forming a response to your points soon. I suppose it's good timing that my Enactor term has begun just as I'm starting to be more active on the RMB! This has been an extremely useful and interesting conversation that I hope continues and I thank you and NST as well as anyone else who contributes for taking the time to think about our ideas and form articulate responses!
If it's okay with everyone who's chipped in, I wouldn't mind possibly saving some of these posts in a factbook for future reference, with possible editing for typos and minor grammatical confusions. Let me know and hope to hear from you all about these topics soon.
Thought just came to me:
I was watching an interview with Bookchin about situationism, and he said they basically just stole their ideas from everyone else and synthesized these ideas under one label. Ironically, this is post-left anarchism in a nutshell: criticize ideology, morality and organization the exact same way Stirner and insurrectionist anarchists did, and pass it off as your own. It seems the post-leftists were influenced by the SI in more ways than they'd like to admit.
The only real difference is that the situationists didn't throw in nonsense about primitivsm or abandoning left-wing politics altogether, although we can somewhat blame Bookchin himself for pushing them to that.
Yeah, Bookchin gets a lot of flak, and I think he was... unnecessarily outspoken at some times. But overall, his writings are excellent and provide a good framework for libertarian socialist societies. Indeed, we have Rojava as a good, albeit imperfect, example of that. I think a major draw for me to him was his theory of social ecology, which I think is one of the greatest modern lib-soc texts. Looking at a culture-nature relationship critically and constructing a theory of how a proper relationship would work today is something that is a good base to build upon.
thank you :)
Who here actually made it through watching the Republican National Convention last night? I missed Trump's speech and he's my favorite clown.
I didn't watch it, but did you see about trumps wife's speech being the same as one of michelle obama's?
PKK have been attacked by the terrorist Turkish army (backed by the US) for decades.
As someone foreign to the US, I despair at this point. I truly believe that nobody will care about this. The drooling morons that support Trump live in a media bubble as it is, they will dismiss any criticism, however backed up with facts, as "(((LIBRUL))) bias."
Incidentally, Americans occasionally mistake me for a right-wing firebrand when I rail against Liberals. It's made for some odd conversations.
Yes even though Greece which belongs to NATO was helping them for decades
Even Oçalan had stayed here in order to be safe :p
Greetings comrades. I'm curious, how would healthcare be managed in an anarchist society?
Comrades! I apologize for my month-long disappearance (not that it was likely noticed, or considered a bad thing :P). I spend much more time as a cog in the capitalist machine during the summer, and have been busy as f*ck lately. Gotta love the life of a cook in a tourist town.
Socialized like all other forms of industry and means of production, then distributed according to need. *odd spooky-jazz hands hybrid* magic? no, kids, this is teamwork
Also, much more thorough theory/planning/content:

Socialised medicine is one of the few vestigial traits of socialism that is present in my otherwise voraciously capitalist native land. The UK NHS is remarkably well-functioning considering that most of the people in government want it destroyed and are intentionally starving it. In an anarchist society, a system of nested councils with recall-able delegates possibly a la Chris Spannos' "Real Utopia" (https://www.akpress.org/realutopiaakpress.html) would manage regional distribution of complicated resource-hungry devices such as CAT-scanners, which not every hospital would need to have, necessarily. Once practiced, the interlocking accountabilities and responsibilities of doctors, nurses and other workers should be quite efficient. Certainly more so than desperately trying to eke out savings in the name of "cuts" while people die on the sidelines, then using the NHS' engineered failure as a criticism of socialised medicine.
Is Hillary Clinton a socialist?
Nobody in America is socialist (Socialist Party)
Your "socialist" are liberals who are trying to pass populist laws in order to gain votes -_-
I don't know why the Americans are saying everyone "socialist" :p
