    1. Anarchism isn’t far left.

    2. “Let’s burn it all down and worry about a replacement system later” is the famous last words of pretty much every country that is now led by a dictator, warlord, or authoritarian power.

    3. I would suggest that we do what has worked for European nations and actually enforce workers rights, and establish antitrust laws to prevent monopolies where they exist now and to keep new ones from forming. Which means we will have to actually start voting in younger people into office instead of dinosaurs who are only interested in keeping their old money where it is.

    So to you, other than “revolution, duh” how do you actually plan on solving the issues once you’ve destroyed the current system? You love asking others how they’ll solve it but your ideas seem to end where the rioting does.

    You don’t want to solve problems, you just want to destroy shit.

      Please enlghten me on this idea. If you include libertarians into anarchists, We have different definitions of anarchy.

      Anarchy is anti-Capitalist full stop.

      Honestly, I dont think you know a thing about anarchy.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_sit-down_strike

      This is the strike generally credited with causing mass unionization within the auto industry.

      You know how they did it? A sit dow strike in a GM plant in flint michagan in 1936-1937.

      Strikers threw bolts and hinges at Cops who were shooting into the building, as they tried to forcably remove strikers.

      Do you support this kind of protest?

      At the time Sit down strikes are not protected as freedom of assembly by the federal government. They are illegal. So is occupying a private businesses building.

      In fact , it wasnt but 1 year eariler with the wagner act that striking was protected by the federal government at all.

      Do you know how Americans won the right to strike?

      They performed illegal strikes and mass protests for a few decades until the federal government recognized it as a right.

      Soo I beleive that mass striking is the only way to bring real change to this country.

      I would suggest that we do what has worked for European nations.

      Most European nations have had mass protests to inorder to force governments to institute social safety nets. Ever heard of france?

      Do you support mass protest? Cuz they burn shit down in france.

      I’m guessing you dont!

      Also you didnt answer abortion question: please answer me, what are your views on abortion?

      I dont debate with poeple who dont recognize abortion as a fundamental right of pregnant people.

        Probably part of the right wing that’s been working on coopting it for decades now. You should see the incredibly rich crypto psychos that call themselves anarchists.

        The way I see the far-right attempt to coopt anarchism is the same as the name of “socialism” being coopted in germany in the 30s. They recognised its growing popularity and seek to ride confusion about that while disassociating themselves with the instant rejection being openly fascist gets them.

          This is a fair point. But the right co-opting anarchism does not mean anarchism isn’t far left.

          Just like how nazi’s co-opting socialism doesn’t make socialism into nazism. Anarchy has ideology that directly critizes money, capitalism, the state and hierarchical systems.

          If people are calling themselves anarchist and then using that ideology to promote crypto-currencies. They are the ones doing it wrong.
