I just wanna let you know, I’m an American leftist and I have that exact same distrust in government. I don’t want less government but rather none of it at all. Unfortunately, before that might become possible, a lot of the policies I advocate for do indeed require more regulations and bureauctats.
I 100% agree but I still appreciate anarchism as a critical position. Not a system to actually implement, but a criticism of the corrupt nature of the current regime.
I’m not an anarchist but I’d miss their perspectives if they weren’t around.
I hear you bro, It’s not that I’m not against having some socialist policies, I just don’t trust the people in power to enact them with the interest of the public in mind
I also think the problem with this world is overpopulation. If you have too many people, then some of them become disposable. Look at how corporate media is flipping out now that the birth rate has dropped.
Socialism is when the people take control and classes are abolished. So yeah I would hella agree I don’t trust the people in power to do it. I don’t want to do anything about the population of 8 billion, however it does clearly play into capital to have so many people to exploit.
One reason I like communism is because it is supposed to get rid of the state. I have a strong distrust of states - no matter how they may lean at any given moment. The more power you give it, the more power there will be to one day be abused. Yet of course, communities still need organization. I want to a see horizontal organizations that actually work for the community members and don’t create hierarchies. Systems can be good if the incentives are properly aligned so that they don’t call for individuals to be exploited. I’m an anarchist, aka classical libertarian. I am very left but I share some of the same concerns you do, and it sounds like we’d like to see some of the same outcomes too.

Anarchism is impossible, nature abhors a vacuum

Anarchist opinion: Anarchy is anything but a vacuum.

It’s all about having enough people to exploit.
PS: I’m not the one that downvoted you.
