Guys I think I just had an epiphany. I just put anti-realism & egoism together & I think it came out fairly well

Please check it out!

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · Sep 25

A way to describe society could be useful to easily explain why we seek to abolish capitalism, but I disagree with atleast 2 of your points

(As a side note, I'll call this the "egoist social theory" cus I don't like being grouped alongside socio-democrats & state "socialists")

These are a few I found & there are more in the "communization" topic in the anarchist library! (In no order)

AFAIK it's a theory that posits we must replace labour (exploitation, capitalism, wage labour...) with communist relations immediately after abolishing the State without any transitory phase

It's a relatively new theory, having been thought of decades ago

I'm still learning about it & looks good!

Abolishes slavery

Incarcerates tons of people oppressed by capitalism & forces them to work for free

No slavery in sight!

Their arguments are riddled in capitalism, but it's nice to see Monopoly adapted to criticise the gender disparity!

Propaganda by the deed hasn't convinced many people & it doesn't achieve anything. It only attacks people, not the systems

So yeah other methods like syndicates & mutual aid are more fruitful than shooting a CEO!

In the last decades some people have started developing communisation & it conceptually seems to be the best way to bring communism by avoiding any transitory phase since it's been a complete failure

Immediately abolishing the labour relations before the strike back sounds like a good idea

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 8h

Haven't they? Like with Iraq, Afghanistan, Chile, Guatemala, Libya, Bosnia & Kosovo, plus the countless deaths indirectly via exploitation in the DRC, Bolivia, Bangladesh & manyemore they should be guilty of worse

The US was founded on the genocide of Americans (similar to Israel) & the enslavement of imported Africans & that's before we talk about its global hegemony & the many dictatorships they supported so I genuenly doubt it's better than USSR

Not that we ought to make this a competition either

Wait it's not???

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 9h

Eh, won't need to worry about "An"Caps anymore than corporations

Most people potentially agree with most of our ideas, but since they come off as unfamiliar (thus uncomfortable!) they hesitate to fully give into them (including myself...)

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 9h

There's tons of stuff to criticise about the USSR but I doubt it's anywhere as bad as the US, atleast after de-Stalinisation

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 9h

(Individualist ideologies like stoicism, egoism, nihilism & primitivism fail by misunderstanding what control, ideas, meaning & technology respectively are

I got invested into each of them (for nihilism as absurdism), so I feel Stirner was right in that there's a next step after egoism)

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 9h

However I recently found out the core flaw of egoism (being anti-organisation & anti-social) & I feel a bit inspired to elaborate on this, so it might be great to turn (libertarian) communism from an ideology into a philosophy

Humans are social animals, so we should behave accordingly! (I think)

With anarchism without adjectives, I can see many simply going by "anarchist", but with communism being obviously better than markets & the proliferation of fake anarchist trends I can see why otherwise

Also I doubt they'd go as plain communists cus people people keep mistaking communism for ML

Big brain - small brain inception

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 10h

Given that capitalism is so pervasive, some suggest we're hypocrites for engaging with, but not everyone is lucky or brave enough to just do communism!

I see what you mean & I'm def guilty of doing that more than I should

Where are the "anarchist communists near your area" ads when I need them?!

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 10h

The best thing about anarcho-communism is that it fits perfectly with movements like feminism, ecology & LGBTQIA+!

There are variants dedicated to each topic, but nothing stops you from simultaneously supporting green anarchism & anarcha-feminism :D

Eighty-six people have already died of hunger in Gaza. My daughter Alma could be next. She deserves life, not slow starvation. Even a small act of compassion can keep her alive. Please help us.

I specifically brought them cus, atleast Hitler, were cocksure they were the heroes of the story!

Given enough ignorance, you can justify any act & do it with a smile on your face

It's always the same trope. The worse the act, the more convinced the actor is

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 12h

Problably yapped more than needed, but:

You're right we need to explain why we believe we're correct, but we mustn't repeat the authoritarians' mistake of dogmatism & always question what we preach

No matter the hardship, we must always fight for what we believe. The alternative is death

The competitive mindset begs to be perfect, flawless & most importantly, *correct*. The moment their correctness is questioned, they become vulnerable & in their game that's fatal

Only a fundamental change in their psyque towards collaboration can bring about meaningful change for a better world

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 12h

The pragmatic imperative is to vanquish dogmatism so people stop being authoritarianists (fascists, racist, sexists...), but to the dogmatist, unless they're open to change (which is rare AFAIK), that's an existential threat

Being open to change is to be vulnerable & to many that's unconceivable

Where anarchists & other socialists question their own theory & praxis to improve them, what incentive does a racist have to wonder if they really are superior to black people?

It's like how Christians base their morality on the Bible, so to them questioning it would lead to moral crisis

Ocuos @ocuos9.bsky.social · 12h

Oh no, I was trying to make another point!

I mean what you said is pretty accurate but I meant smth else entirely

Fascists, racists & all of them hold beliefs that uphold them above others, believing they're "correct", so obviously they try convincing others without questioning themselves
