Are Lemmy anarchists okay? How does this person have 24 upvotes? In what universe are anarchists NOT doing class analysis, (therefore) don't want to abolish capitalism, and don't want to fight archism?
I suspect this is just because libs absolutely DESPISE comrade @Cowbee@hexbear.net and will upvote anything smart-sounding that supposedly addresses whatever is being discussed?
Also, gotta love the whole "I have this opinion and many anarchists will disagree and that's what anarchism is about". Like, buddy, you haven't read one book or talked to one anarchist IRL, let alone organized in your entire life.
I like to think of it as "improving quality of life" creates an attractive movement which will eventually be capable of toppling capitalism. More anarchist prefiguration than "don't mind capitalism just keep improving your life". I guess it's "Fuck you capitalism. I'm just not going to care about you. I'll sit in this corner with my friends and ignore you, and soon enough I'll have enough friends that you stop existing."
For radlibs it's absolutely about "don't mind capitalism just keep improving your life", see how they defend Platner and Mamdani. I wouldn't mind if my "quality of life" (whatever we mean by that btw) got worse, if that meant that i wouldn't have to live it in a capitalistic hellscape (which, paradoxically, would actually improve my quality of life)
Yep. Same here. I'd gladly give up all of my electronics to be part of a socialist movement and not have to worry about money ever again.
This is sort of like syndicalist reasoning, but in soccer, everything is complicated by the presence of the other team. If we just ignore some other structural problems with this approach, the main issue is that the capitalists will see you doing this and move to crush you long before you are able to really threaten them. You cannot just hope they will lie down and die of deprivation, you must actively and directly destroy them
