Flippanarchy

Seriously! I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp

Just because it's a passive or hidden violence, or done from a complete disregard of people, doesn't make it less violent towards the affected

It's like the whole thing of how "murder is bad but war is acceptable". Like, why is one perceived so different just because it's state sanctioned? It's considered abhorrent to talk about violently removing a war criminal from their position of harm. It's complete nonsense

Okay but uts not violence if i don't consider them people, or have to think for a second to assign accountability to a specific person.

History has shown us again and again that when capital feels threatened, it gets violent anyways. Look at how many strikes have been beaten down, shot or even bombed (look it up, the first plane-dropped bombs in the US were dropped on striking miners)

I dislike violence, and I don't think it's good strategy to start it (that's why I'm a syndicalist), but realistically, we should be ready for the reaction.

As soon as we exercise the right to strike they will attempt to A) beat us back into submission via lawfare and actual repression and B) bring in scabs

Thus we will be forced to defend ourselves, our communities and to prevent scabs from working. Sabotage of production may be required. Now property damage. Now we're back at violence. Do you think the coal mining unions went to war with pinkertons and cops because they loved violence? It's because they started with strikes and this is the route capital takes to escalate in response.

You need stockpiles of food, water and heat.

But yes, this is the way.
