The nice thing about anarchism is you don't have to wait for society to collapse. We can start practicing it now and let it grow from there.
The Zapatistas didn't wait for society to collapse, and neither should we! š„°
Yeah, I think I just don't have faith in anyone or any institution anymore.
The leftists are morons who will end up siding with fascists cause they think the breaking of the system means they will win and people will care... Stupid. And we have seen historically what that looks like. Capitalists just can't back off sucking their own dick to realize they are heading down a path that doesn't end well.
Christo-fascists still think they are being oppressed so they have to oppress first.I actually believe in rules and like some organization but there is not a lot of people that want to be reasonable anymore. Got to figure out who to grift too and I don't like playing. So, I'm gonna live in a city center. Hope we throw bombs so I go out early in the blast and just get to enjoy the fall.

Accelerationism is what you're talking about, and its widely rejected on the left for exactly the reasons you bring up. It doesn't work. It only makes things worse for the working class. Even if the revolution does happen, there's no guarantee that what comes out the other side is actually better.
There's a lot of overlap with tankies and accelerationism. They're loud, but they aren't numerous, and also tend to get kicked out of all the other leftist groups.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with anarchism. Fascism, capitalism, statehood, and hierarchies are categorically incompatible with anarchism, and I don't know anyone who thinks we should just recklessly throw bombs and hope for the best. I feel like these "leftists" you're referring to are entirely made out of straw, and the history you're talking about refers, I believe, to authoritarian communist regimes like the USSR and China, while ignoring that there are examples of successful communities that could be considered anarchist. Maybe they're harder to spot because they by definition don't involve statehood. I provided one example in my comment, but there are others.
Well, of course my ideology would rise from the ashes. I'm the main character!
Yes you are, I confirmed this with the developers.
Smooth brain accelerationism
It's like "I'm a momentary embarrassed millionaire", but apocalypse edition.
for anarchists at least it's more "maybe we can have a stateless community when there aren't a bunch of people with guns who very much want us to not have a stateless community"
Oh absolutely everyone thinks they are gonna be leader of the ashes just look at all the stupid tech bros who are sure they would be ok in an apocalypse.
I mean someone is gonna be the next Alexander the Great of the ashes probably so for 1 person they are right but the odds aren't in our favor.
canāt wait for the tuxpunk future
I'm torn between the Calico Caliphate and the Tortie Theocracy..
Heads up, the Stray States won't tolerate cups and mugs hanging dangerously close to tables
tuxpunkists when the xeniaist retro xeniaism appears:
No one's utopia rises from the ashes of a collapsed society. Usually collapse is followed by a run of short-lived autocrats, until one of them (or a coalition) sees the trend and is determined not to be the next dead dictator. They then create a constitution and none of them are elected as the executive.
By then everyone is desperate for some quiet, and no one really cares to be king anymore. (Cromwell was unique in handing the theone of England back to a family with some royal legitimacy, but that was before the ideals of the enlightenment.)
What we haven't tried yet is crafting an ironclad constitution before or during the violence. Were I not a depressed misanthrope with no organization skills, I might have developed an online website that tracked the constitutions of the world (as cross-translated as possible) and made workshops for hypothetical clauses, such as ranked-choice US presidential elections won by popular vote. The point would be to make a site where fledgling states could hammer out ironclad constitutional clauses toward an actual public-serving state. Sadly, I'm pathetic and didn't do this. And no one else has either.
The more prepared grassroots movements are before the collapse, the less churn of warlords the state has to suffer during the aftermath.
Note that corporations, rich masterminds and foreign interests will still offer finances and materiel to shills to take over and serve as a ruthless puppet dictator. These will be your most difficult adversaries. The DPRK shows us how bad that can get.
Anarchism is about building from the ground up with mutual aid organizations, which create the infrastructure that will support labor unions, community service orgs and other public serving interests. Since these serve as a sneak attack on elite-serving establishment, accelleration doesn't help them, though mutual aid will help neighborhoods survive when the collapse comes.
I wouldn't mind some anarcho communism by someone that knows more about how to make laws than me
Too bad, you're getting totalitarian theocracy for the post-apocalypse and you'll like it! (They literally crucify you if you don't)
Not againš
Caesar's Legion is dangerously popular in certain crowds
anarcho communism
Well first you would probably have to get rid of one of those words since you can't have anarchy and rules.
You can have mutually agreed upon rules and structure in anarchism. "The Conquest of Bread" by Peter Kropotkin explains the theory behind anarcho-communism pretty well. I'm not aware of any form of anarchism that doesn't have rules in some form. At the very least, you'd have the "rule" against hierarchies, otherwise you wouldn't have anarchism.
Not exactly right it's still kind of a democracy
Anarcho-communism, also known as anarchist communism, is the belief that hierarchies, money, and social classes should not exist, and that the means of production should be held in common by society. Anarcho-communists support direct democracy and a network of voluntary associations, workers' councils, decentralized economic planning and a gift economy in which everyone will be free to satisfy their needs.
It starts with one person that knows about it, then it becomes a long running game of Nomic and nobody has any clue what the fuck the law is supposed to be anymore.
Don't care what happens after, I just need at least a month break from work where I won't be penalized
Apocalypse sounds better than capitalism tbh
Pallas's cat president!
Maxwell has my vote
I can't wait for society to collapse so I can die in peace
Anarcho-* in a nutshell
Oh hey look the comments are full of these cats apparently.
That's right everyone your personal favorite utopia is the only one that is gonna be correct. All you have to do is believe in it super hard and be completely unwilling to change even a fraction of your belief and I guarantee you that that utopia that you are thinking about in your head is gonna be the only one that was right!
But remember only if you completely believe in
Santayour after civilization society, will you get the present you wanted so tell anyone doubting you, that they are a fucking liar and don't know what's best for them or everyone else so they need to fuck off till they see it your way!For society of course.
P.S. one group has that idea already and they have a lot more members than yours.
The four posadists with differing views are not ready for the collapse
Basically Metro 2033
Me asf
eco centrism?
