A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Everybody's hooked on communism.

But what about anarchism?

Anarchism is an assured destruction of the Social Contract. People, without guidance, are more horrible.

A top priority for me is the people who do stuff benefit from that stuff, instead of some removed jerks.

Along side health care, food, shelter, an environment that's sustainable for human life.

I'm not familiar with anarchism's solutions to these things.

Anarchy only helps those privileged enough to have the means to defend what they have with violence.

Anarchy means the sick, disabled, poor, minorities, etc are thrown to the wolves, and expected to defend themselves with less capability and resources than the majority.

Sure, you might argue family units or communities might band together and take care of each other, but they probably need some rules to make that equitable since not everyone will agree, and- oops we made government again.

That's not how anarchism works.

But it is kind of how humans work. Have you met humans?
