  • Oh, the 100+ years revolt worked, pretty well, it just had nothing to do with anarchy - both major forces were socialist and capitalist tyranny fans. Anarchists were not very numerous, except for Ukrainian Mahno movement and a few less known, all of which were just conquered by regular means of war, being successful otherwise.

    I mean toppled USSR, that was given time to fuck everything up at its own pace afterards. And pretty much any other tyranny that was given freedom to violate all reasonable humanity laws, from cancer and Somalian pirates to Google and Facebook, - things just get worse with time.






  • Don’t overestimate the cultural influence - it’s strong, but not that strong. And generally people are not all that dumb. And most people start search for political theory in native languages, which is quite rarely English, for lingua franca is tainted by this stuff like OP mentioned for the benefit of US political circlejerk.


  • Yeah, I remember, when I used to live in Texas, there was this “libertarian party” that had nothing to do with liber- but just ultra right religious jerks sucking for the Trump party.

    And there was some “tea party” guys that were into libertarianism at the time, but really were Trump supporters essentially, just more sensible otherwise. The situation was unmeasurably stupid, considering how the whole idea of the US was about libertarianism and no movement really promoted its ideas, just “let’s regulate something else and make each others lives more miserable” things.

    But then I’m pretty sure this theft of libertarianism is effective only in the US.


  • The page on anarcho-capitalism gives better credit to this problem:

    Anarcho-capitalism developed from Austrian School-neoliberalism and individualist anarchism.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Almost all anarchist movements do not consider anarcho-capitalism to be anarchist because it lacks the historically central anti-capitalist emphasis of anarchism. They also argue that anarchism is incompatible with capitalist structures.[40][41][42][43][44][45] According to several scholars, Anarcho-capitalism lies outside the tradition of the vast majority of anarchist schools of thought and is more closely affiliated with capitalism, right-libertarianism and neoliberalism.[40][46][47][48][49][50] Traditionally, anarchists oppose and reject capitalism, and consider “anarcho-capitalism” to be a contradiction in terms,[51][52][53] although anarcho-capitalists and some right-libertarians consider anarcho-capitalism to be a form of anarchism.[54][55][56][57]

    Apparently, it’s hot potato in academics; and it’s just stupid, for it’s an argument about definition. Call it Susan if you like it, just define it. And clearly, “anacrchism” as general term is not exactly friendly term then. People’ve got to be more specific to be understood correctly.


  • There are many flavours of anarchy. And no objectively wrong ways of presenting it - what are we going to do, regulate lol?

    I think it would be more sensible to name your flavor of anarchy correctly, instead of using umbrella term and then pull one subset to fill it while expelling others. Yes, ancaps are just like you described. Some people want cyberpank dystopia. Some people want chuche. Sume people are just jerks and dumbass.

    No idea who the fuck is that dude you talk about tbh.




  • Yeah, I’ve been promoting stuff in Fediverse and through local brewers stores (which are not exactly doing well themselves). I can’t just go ahead and advertise something related to alcohol, apparently it’s one of the most popular downfalls of new hipster breweries - illegal advertising. And I do not want to promote stuff through Meta and X and Linkedin. Thus I expected some network effect - but so far clearly things are quite bad.

    If you are still looking for yeast, please welcome to my webstore store.zymologia.fi or DM, I have more under the bench.
