I think states exist largely to allow the wealthy to maintain their ability to extract value from the labor of the poor. They aren't completely without utility. They do provide basic protections. But I think those things could be achieved via an organization of people that doesn't permit some to...

I d oactually live in the South. Well sort of where the South meets Appalachia. I come from old hillbilly stock. It isn't that I think the US is especially evil, I just can't really feel much of anything for hundreds of millions of people spread out over most of a continent that I don't feel...

Several things. First off I am poor, and moving costs money. Secondly, I don't care about the US as an entity, but I quite like the region I live in (especially in the fall) and its culture. Also my family lives here, my ancestors are buried here, my church is here. All stuff I'd be very...

Your quotes got mangled up there, my friend. If you want to believe that antifa were starting wildfires despite the lack of any confirmation, I can't stop you. I can tell you that it makes no sense at all. Like I can't even begin to fathom the motivation. Burning a police precinct, yeah, that...

States are a scam.

I don't see any reason to care whether people suffering are inside the same borders I am. I think we can and should work towards everyone being better off. And I think less nationalism is part of that, I should get to bed myself. I am up way to late and the headache is easing off so maybe I can...

Have good one!

I'm sorry, do you think parents shouldn't have authority over their children, or that teachers shouldn't have authority over their students? The anarchist claim has always been opposition to unjustified hierarchies (you know, slavery, racial supremacy, patriarchy, all that jazz). Also, while...

That's conflating two very different things. I am against private ownership of property (which is different from personal property, but believe me you don't want to sit through the difference). But most people who support universal healthcare aren't. Joe Biden is (sadly) not an anarchist or a...

They don't fit together because you are trying to generalize in two inconsistent ways. Sometimes people just disagree with you about stuff. Even important stuff. Nobody created the "oppression hierarchy" thing you described but you, just not. And it was dumb. Look hierarchy is social relation...

I have no idea what reality you are posting from, but I'm a pacifist, so no war for me. Abortion is the thin end of the wedge, but by attempts to block abortion have led to set ups where women can't get basic reproductive health done without risking legal liability in some places. It ain't...

No, these aren't leftist talking points at all. The leftist talking point involv3e a lot more "means of production" and "unjustified hierarchy" stuff. This is basic civil liberties stuff. I didn't make any of that up. The Republicans campaigned hard to block SSM. Maybe I am older than the lot...
