Anarchy Exists Today

Sounds like you met some real purists

Isn't anarchy right wing? Bernie wants big government. Anarchy is no government

A Marxist-Leninist purist, yeah. That person's not an anarchist. The shooting stuff is some vanguard party crap talk.

Anarchy isn't simply "no government". It's "no rulers". Meaning you reject all forms of authority, not just the state. Anarchism is and has always been a far-left political philosophy. Its focus is and has always been on dismantling hierarchies and helping/protecting the most vulnerable. The right-wingers who call themselves anarchists are not anarchists; they're confused. They are capitalists whose focus is not on dismantling hierarchies but on enforcing the ones that benefit them, and their idea of an ideal society is one of complete corporate tyranny.

The big/small government talk is just a way to hoodwink people who are not at all familiar with the history of anarchism. Although the ideal is to overcome/overthrow the state, the most important value of anarchism is empathy towards the vulnerable. That empathy manifests itself by pursuing more egalitarianism in society in various ways. The more egalitarian a society is, the better. Anarchists have no doubt that it would be more egalitarian with someone like Sanders as president than with the other candidates, so they usually support him, but at the same time they want to try to get people to understand that electoral politics is only going to take you so far.

In my personal view anarchism can be complementary to Bernie Sanders policies. A green new deal is a policy in opposition to another even more authoritarian institution, which is private power. That's something anarchists also oppose.

what are these peoples problem about the current system? also, why do they want to shoot an old man?

Haha that girl seems hilarious
You take a true point: Old fucks way beyond pension age leading elections and countries
And you use a hyperbole like she did, I'd laugh with her even if I was a Bernie supporter


By the way I always wondered about Trump and his stupid spray tan
- but it makes so much sense, he's making himself look younger without the skin damage, damn prophetic of him to start doing it ages ago, he looks so much younger than he should

She is actually very funny but I didn't find that funny. It's not truthful and it's absurd in not a funny way.

There is nothing prophetic about a narcissist ego-maniac spray tanning himself from a young age.

lol
so many great songs in there
I guess the backlog became mainstream

Maybe I was a little triggered or just confused. Why would an anarchist want to murder Bernie? It makes no sense. Medicare for all is a stronger opinion than what temp. soup should be. Green New Deal or the comfort of socks.... Whatever.

From my impression, most of the people in North America think Bernie is some sort of a hardcore commie thus it makes sense than a wannabe anarchist would wanna murder someone who'd they believe strive for full authority? Then again these same people believe the Democratic and Republican Party in the US are left-wing and right-wing which is hilarious on a whole other level

She isn't a wannabe anarchist. She knows her shit. I think she has just read one too many memes and likes being provocative.

Why indeed... you got triggered and came off as a jackass most likely - it's so over the top it's damn hilarious and an obvious hyperbole

Triggered at an anarchist using over the top statements smh

It's not over the top though if you are familiar with anarchist meme culture. It's the guillotine or execution for anyone that isn't Kropotkin. It's actually quite tiresome.

So she'd actually pull the execution trigger on Bernie?
