but yeh more like i'm just authoritarian, and fine w/ both left and right. tho both have their pros and cons, left is better and more humane. i still prefer fascism to capitalism, libertarianism, anarchism, neoliberalism etc. yes u can argue fascism is just extension of capitalism or reactionary capitalism or sth, but it provides some critical accountability, there's national values and goals etc that the capitalists can't go against, and an upper limit to how much wealth they can accumulate

No, thats incorrect, in fascism class differences are growing and the capitalist class is not subjugated. In fact, in Nazi Germany, Nazis have come to an agreement with capitalist class and let them extract value free from restraint so long they pose no political danger. There is simply no accountability isnt there, business under Nazism was hilariously corrupt especially in the war industry and that is one of the reasons why soldier's conditions at the front lines were so dismal

Fascism is all about unlikely alliances. Nazis had to give capitalists ways of extracting value so they wouldnt rebel, thats exactly wat they did. It is the precondition of capitalist ambivalence towards Nazi rule that Nazis wont bother them. So, no, both in DVCE Italy and Nazi Germany, no capital and no capitalists were held accountable to nothing at all. They just rebranded as fascists and dat it, and fascists were fine with dat so long factory owners allowed fascist party to come and propagandize/eulogize their leader or the party. Fascist states not just tolerated capitalism and capitalists, they were aligned with it. Its true that some capitalists were fascist in the sense that theyve believed in the ideology, but overwhelming majority of them were just opportunists who understood their power and used it to the best of their advantage. That is why business is more than complicit in genocide, not only that the business wasnt opressed in any way, capitalists willingly choose slave labour and liked death camps for wat theyve provided them. It is nothing but a fantasy to think dat fascists can bring any accountability, for the reasons that fascists have to forge and maintain alliances in order to work at all

Ah. Yea that chart's a mess
>imo both r just capitalism
Capitalism isn't a political ideology IMO, it's somewhat of a non-term used by mostly communists referring to economic liberalism and the economic (not political) mode of society aimed at extraction of profit and reinvestment with a goal of creating more profit - or something along these lines lol. I myself do not think of ancap as something real (capitalist mode of production cannot really exist without state-like institutions IMO, like essentially recreating a megacorp which can by itself protect its huge property and trade connections/routes/etc would be akin to creation of a state).
>u eventually get 99% of ppl living in haiti like squalor and 1% in opulence
Likewise, I do think that the state is more promoting of that state of affairs, no pun intended, and that the state is a poor equalizer - like too awkward, too weak etc, the best it can do is just bully, and charity exists without the state putting itself into picture

I dont think "communists" separate between political and economical

Why should people exist on charity? All people work jobs, theyve earned by work services that the state must provide in good enough quality. The state is choosen to do this job out of historical conjecture but there were examples where people organized themselves and lived mostly equally without depending on the state, Russian revolution before it was seized by bolsheviks were just dat. People seized power at places where theyve worked and established worker run places. The problem that leninists saw in this anarchistic organization is efficiency, it is just not efficient enough organization. Leninism was scientific after all, so, the centralized command structure would be the most efficient according to the leninist thought and it would result in better production. Leninism is obsession with scientific progress, but those theories ignored almost everything on the ground, history, humanity, that peasants could be right. So, any way, democracy and equality is possible without the state, but everyone is convinced that those organizations are unable to provide garangutan production quotas needed for things like army and watever, so, centralized power structures are deployed instead

yeh i know aldat but obv they were able to dispossess the jews and plenty others, so this meme that they were purely an arm of all capitalists, who had zero accountability or reproach, is inaccurate. the capitalists were still allowed to keep extracting pretty brutally, but politically they followed state, which was the relevant part to me

russia and china have the same. there's brutal oligarchs, but they still have to act according to state politics and interests. dats wat i mean when i say i prefer it to some system that also has those oligarchs, but they each get to be some little king, free to force their world on others, legally protected from ever being dispossessed. that's wat i'm arguing against, not against there not being anything better than fascism, which i don't believe like i've said

>>299171
wel for me it also implies belief in property rights, that ur able to own a piece of land, grow it, pass it to ur progeny etc. on small scale it's wholesome, but x centuries from that point onward, w/ multiplied population, it becomes pretty gross
anarchism doesn't mean anything if it doesn't address property rights. almost always it'll affirm them, so it's almost always anarcho-capitalism
>recreating
recreating from wat? is the premise to ur anarchy that every1 would have to start over, all property destroyed and land is evenly distributed and everyone is some settler or wat ?

state is poor equaliser but there's no better alternatives. besides some war that equalises everyone in poverty or death. charity even now when it confers some tax deductions is pretty ineffective. it's also gross as hell idea that some ppl would have to depend on charity whims of rich ppl

People who believe that fascism is just a form of capital at its logical conclusion are comintern communists, which is not me

In fascism, life is impossible without the state in a peculiar way. Because the community or race is put front and center, the state guarantees safety of this community. In theory. In practice, fascism, wherever it was practiced, pushed societies to destruction

Under fascism, the state and the people are actually separate. Because individual must be part of the whole, it was structured in such a way so people will have appearance of choice, in DVCE Italy you vow to be a fascist and it wasnt just an empty gesture, it was legally binding in one sense and testament to faith in another. So, naturally, people have choice but they choose fascism because of mostly mystical reasons

So, capitalism flourishes under fascism for the same reason capitalism flourishes elsewhere, unrestrained accumulation and extraction of wealth, if allowed, will happen. But did capitalism under fascism benefit people? No, it was the state which benefited people. The state promised welfare, not capitalists. Capitalists actually couldnt provide anything to workers, only work places, and in fascism people were mostly incorporated into state/party clubs, structures, watever

But the state, paradoxically, has own intentions different from the people. The fascist state is both intent on saving the nation/race and fighting eternal war of regeneration

Capitalism under fascism was tolerated by the party because it was useful and because they cant do much about it. But it wasnt under party's control. It is only vaguely benefited the society in forms of employment and taxes. The business wasnt aligned with fascist goals at all, the business worked for own sake, and only could be driven by profit and fascists could not do anything about it

However, there was huge state capitalistic structures. It is most striking in Nazi Germany with Luftwaffe and its boss. There was plan in Nazi Germany, but how it was achieved is not how plan worked in Soviet union at all

So, Russia is this little king that is unable to be overthrown and legally protected. Russian state is a captured mafia state and it works this way, it is different from a fascist state. In Russia, there is no paradox, the state doesnt claim to exist for the welfare of the people but for the state itself

China is different from dat. In this case, you are right

IMO property rights are not really about "belief" but more about enforcement, and property can be "redistributed" by really "unlawful" means too lol (oof) as well as whatever unstable power structures there gonna be, they will no guarantee any kinda "generational wealth", which I see mostly as a plus. Likewise, without state, laws/courts themselves might be more "unstable" in a sense of becoming somewhat less formal at least, so whatever "property rights" there might (or not) be, they will likely differ from the modernity era (capitalist/individualized) rights.
>recreating from wat?
It's more like an image or something. There is a long, perilous road to walk from a private entrepreneur (clearly no-state territory) to a large-scale organization which spans far beyond your immediate community and surroundings. I'd say it's impossible to walk that path without murder, oppression and/or mistreatment. So yea, everybody walking this path would try to create a state and likely will create one (monopoly on violence), starting from tyranny.
>is the premise to ur anarchy
Anarchism is essentially removal of all "rulers" from the picture. Power structures are unstable and situational, violence is likely more chaotic but not necessarily all-out war, laws are only as enforced as there are agreements of some sort (because nobody can come and beat everybody down to submission and force to comply). It's quite possible people won't even agree on the common currency, so NO, amassing wealth like capitalist do is going to pretty hard in the general anarchist case IMO. No huge civilization and extensive trade network (to my knowledge) existed without massive efforts for enforcement that state of affairs - like police to protect property, army to protect trade routes etc. Not all anarchists are pirates, but quite likely all pirates are anarchists ww
>state is poor equaliser but there's no better alternatives
To me, it's either humanity evolves towards a better society without violence (i.e. no state) or it's literally death. State isn't "lesser evil", IMO it's quite the opposite, it is a monster that will undo us all xD
>charity even now when it confers some tax deductions is pretty ineffective
IDK what that statement is about but taxing isn't charity. It is state related - state STOLE someone's property and redistributed it how it saw fit - not necessarily to people who needed it, not necessarily by public demand either - it JUST happened because some social group decided so.
>it's also gross as hell idea that some ppl would have to depend on charity whims of rich ppl
To me, in an order of desirability:
1) charitable and philanthropist society people may disagree but ethically bound to listen and help each other at the very least rainbow ponies blah blah blah
2) people can steal and kill for property redistribution as they please (kinda oof but it won't necessarily be as crazy as most people are likely rather tame, especially if they consider it's THEM who are gonna have to do the heavy lifting and suffer all the consequences of unjust/violent choices and not some magical omnipotent "just" agent) (also, despite states trying to tame it, humanity seems absolutely wild still, so perhaps what i hate is essentially impotence of the state)
3) some magical schizoentity appears and takes over all affairs of humanity (statism)

How philanthropist society can exist and be just if philanthropy presupposes that some will be more wealthy(hence more powerful/unequal) and decide, out own ethical reasons and will, to give it away?

In the native american societies, some more egalitarian societies had inequality of wealth but it was ameliorated by ritual sacrifice and lavish ceremonies. Some just destroyed wealth on death. The only way a native american society could be equal is if wealth inequality to exist at all, it must be destroyed. Generational weath is the root of all inequality and native americans understood it all too well

So, no, no amount of philantropy or charity is gonna make any justice at all because it presupposes that injustice is in fact natural and dat some are just naturally more wealthy, which is untrue. Charity is enemy of just society, because it implies that people are always deficient without some dependent structure which is in fact untrue. People, throughout all history, all time, had worked and earned things. They didnt just receive it by charity or they ever wanted dat

Effective altruism is bizzare ideology. But much more bizzare is to think that humanity can evolve when it can only change

>pushed societies to destruction
fascist states have destructive goals, which is also y i'd strictly prefer communism. regardless, to me any goal is better than no goals (or just "economic growth" like we have, and maybe "maintain our global dominance, except when it's too hard"). the Zionist entity is good example, tho i think they're evil, they have a purpose at least

>It is only vaguely benefited the society in forms of employment and taxes

what's vague about it ?
capitalism gets to exist under fascism bc balance of power like u said but also because it's genuinely efficient. especially when there's constraints on it. same dat china does
there's little political aspects to how the companies are run, other than that they do it efficiently, +whatever labour and workplace laws the state has forced on them, + x amount of propaganda. state directing them happens more thru taxes and procurement. esp when state is the only customer. i wasn't implying anything more mysterious

>So, Russia is this little king that is unable to be overthrown and legally protected

so, authoritarianism has one guy at top. it's not ideal, has incredibly risky failure points, but it's again better to me than having 200 oligarchs ruling. maybe weird to call rusia or china fascist but they're definitely authoritarian right
>the state doesnt claim to exist for the welfare of the people but for the state itself
weird claim. there's no ethnic component to current russian or chinese authoritarianism, in propaganda, since they're imperial agglomerations in post-colonial era, but the state still postures about society's welfare and development. maybe during wartime there's further emphasis on sacrifice of the ppl to the state, and russia in particular may word it bit more grimly, but it applies to any other state under wartime too
>>299192
think i call it "belief" bc anarchism has some natural state of being vibes, and anything on top of that, that doesn't exist in nature, is some belief that makes it a political ideology. also laws and courts ? wtf

it's just very profitable and efficient to band together and go take all the anarchist ranchers' property. most ancaps i think don't find the idea of some state-like corps existing that unpalatable because your interaction with them is still theoretically voluntary. they'd only span beyond ur community if they were more efficient (better) than the alternatives, in ancap belief. but dat again requires property rights, so some land where u have the right to violence and right to control others, or at least to expel others

i think ur advocating for some very economically simple agrarian sustenance life, which i don't really see dat many problems w/, other than u would not have niceties of technology, consumerism, modern medicine etc. ok if ur healthy, but genetic load has increased so much that most ppl do need modern healthcare few times in their lives, or u get africa life expectancies

>IDK what that statement is about but taxing isn't charity

i mean there's incentive in our society for ppl to donate to charity, bc u get it deducted from taxes. but still they're at pretty sorry state. tho i get it's lot easier on communal scale, where u can actually see the ppl in need and the kind of needs they have
>As you can see, my hatred runs deep UwU

It is vague because the state assumed care for welfare of the people and the companies contributed little to it. At least thats how it was in Nazi Germany. You could buy Cola in Nazi Germany. But does dat improve welfare of people? Not really. The state guaranteed services and generous welfare to Germans, and it extended to things like meaning of life, clubs, organizations, …, so benefit of capitalists is kinda vague on German population

I dunno wat it means, maybe Im not knowledgeable enough, but Russia is a state for the state's sake, not welfare of the people. China is on other hand is ideological, it is one party state that prides itself on getting immeasurable number of people out of poverty. China and Russia are not comparable

(In the moment of soviet disintegration, there was really only one thing on people's minds: how to prevent a complete collapse? So, liberals wanted the state only for the state's sake, that would stabilize economy and enable wild west reforms that theyve been writing up. Liberals, (neoliberals), didnt believe that the state should be providing anything to the people and thats how theyve wanted Russia to be, theyve imagined Russia as a free, democratic, capitalist country that is modelled after western democracies. The only reason why we have in our constitution mention that Russia is in fact a social country is because communists wouldnt allow them otherwise. Liberals understood just how popular and how important universal healthcare and services were for people, so it was an concession to communists

However, then the state was captured by mafia and since then all we have is an informal system of government. Russia is an oligarchic state, but it is bound by the Puta as the chief mafioso which keeps his gang under leash. He is exactly like a real mafioso don, he decides who is right or wrong in problem situations, so the system cannot survive him as the whole reason it works is his arbitrage

There is really no consideration for people's welfare in modern Russia. There are no safety nets, nothing, no welfare of any kind. Russia is just not a social state, because thats not its purpose. The purpose of the state is the state itself, it is not bound by any thing. It is afraid of own people, sure, but people cant do anything about the state either. So, Puta is not really a tsar, he is a gangster and thats how Russia is)

If you are going to make generalizations to a large environment containing multiple cultures and civilizations, it’s best to be case specific. As pre Colombian societies clearly maintained firm social stratification, to the point of a hereditary nobility that often contained both religious and state authority. In the case of Cahokia or other SECC centers, elite burials highlighted even in death that social stratification was guaranteed.

>think i call it "belief" bc anarchism has some natural state of being vibes…
Anarchism is indeed a political ideology, capitalism isn't (or I claim it not to be lol - I call that state of affairs just liberalism when it comes to politics and liberalism indeed is a political ideology). My statement though about the "belief" in private property - I claimed that the simple belief isn't as scary as actual enforcement of it and I wouldn't be that afraid of it if it wasn't for the state enforcing those rights. Well, the topic of private property is definitely not a simple one, my strain of anarchism is certainly individualized, so in that sense it IS liberal (so might be seen as ancap) but again, I really do not want to get lumped together with pigs like Trump and Putin xD
>also laws and courts ? wtf
Anarchism doesn't mean the abolition of rules, though those kinda institutions would definitely differ from the statist ones.
>it's just very profitable and efficient to band together
That is another point I sorta covered. Anarchism must be a deeply ethical movement so those kinda arrangements do not happen (and that indeed why I am not too keen on propagating my views: humanity clearly isn't ready for that kinda stuff so it is a pipe dream for now).
If not that then yea, you are sorta right, a public state where laws actually work and not bent to the statist will is probably preferrable to some warlord establishing a total dictatorship or warring groups burning everything to the ground. I do believe tho that abolition of the state does not necessarily lead to those arrangements, like you surely can hold a balance of power without kings. Surely xD
Another point I sorta made already is that the state of affairs where some universal arbiter exists and takes over potentially all human affairs (like it managing property is already too much to be fair) is NOT desirable because state is NOT your friend, far from it. But instead of establishing laws that allow it to be taken down and punished for misdeeds, people worship it as God and put all their last hopes into it or something.
>most ancaps i think don't find the idea of some state-like corps existing that unpalatable because your interaction with them is still theoretically voluntary
Yea, I'd agree that it still is technically anarchist, it's just to me if it begins to quack like a state then we might have taken the wrong turn somewhere. Like if to you anarchism means to establish a quasi-state which YOU run and that in turn allows you to oppress others then IMO you'd have to answer to the question how you are different from the very thing you claim to depart from. So yea, I guess in that sense I am left-leaning (I do not want to oppress, it's annoying and time consuming w).
>they'd only span beyond ur community if they were more efficient (better)
Not sure what that point is about but even if efficiency was purely objective (it isn't really as we always optimize for some goal), humans evaluating it would likely to throw more biases into it. So IDK man, I think that ancap line of reasoning is weak
>but dat again requires property rights, so some land where u have the right to violence and right to control others, or at least to expel others
Another interesting point is that a society might not be sedentary at all lol (man becoming some sorta real nomad feels so right NGL).
>other than u would not have niceties of technology, consumerism, modern medicine etc
Some pro-tech points could be made but is modern tech really "nice"? Pollution, soil degradation, mineral mine exhaustion - the civ might be running out of steam soon-ish (likely won't exist in another 500 years lol). Likewise, lots of things modern tech civ does isn't particularly efficient, but it's like whatever man, I'm tired w
Another point to make is that likely undoing the state wouldn't mean undoing the tech advancements (though for sure states won't put billions of dorrar into the internet blocks and surveillance state anymore xD).
>i think it's influenced by u living in russia
It most likely is but I don't think states are that different anywhere. Delusional, detached, incompetent - but they get to make decisions (well to a degree they are not quite as awful but I don't see a point in being ruled by mediocrity). We kinda had some political talk earlier (about EU) - like even if it WAS totally avoidable, they totally would solve their problems at our expense AND that's not what they claim on their selling ad xD

i never claimed dat the capitalists would be assuming social services (other than when they're contracted to do so) so wat was this supposed to distinguish
>but Russia is a state for the state's sake, not welfare of the people
every state is like that to some extent, and every state claims to be opposite. u haven't uncovered some profound truth about russia and russian soul, just failed to see how it applies elsewhere too. u know how in china military swears loyalty not to china, not to chinese people, but to the uniparty. maybe some chinese arguing w/ same premise as u would really hammer dat point, bc it's powerful
>prides itself on getting immeasurable number of people out of poverty
chinese ppl pulled themselves out of poverty DESPITE ccp, not bc of it, by their own HARD WORK (chinese study and work hard). some US backed temporary dictatorship like korea and singapore did same feat faster. so no, cpp has little to claim credit for it (tho i well know that they try to)
>no welfare of any kind
dats western thing that doesn't really exist in rusia, china, india etc, more bc they cannot afford it at the moment (wealth hoarded by west and oligarchs). they're still able to have healthcare, pensions (disability and old age), school etc tho
>>299307
imo it's political ideology, just w/ one dimension less. like, dat chart is two dimensional. "authoritarianism" alone would sound weird as political ideology too, but it's one, just w/ some complimentary info missing. during cold war it was maybe bit more literal and meaningful distinction
well also when i say capitalists, i'm not talking about proponents of capitalism, but ppl who own capital
how do trump and putin have anything to do w/ ancap ? more like u don't want to get lumped together w/ pigs like peter thiel or elon musk or other american captains of industry. trump is just crony capitalist and would still depend on state to bribe and enforce for him etc
>humanity clearly isn't ready for that kinda stuff so it is a pipe dream for now
dat applies to other utopian political ideologies too like communism. like it's weird u think ancap isn't just ur personal preference but the most elevated possible one that whole of humanity must evolve towards. tho i wonder wat political ideology it'll be when we're all forcibly mind uploaded and million ppl exist on each 'server'. evolution will be cut short and no tru utopian system had time to be realised
who r statists ? did u read ayn rand or sth ? like in her books it's ppl of no ability who conspire thru state to take away from the ppl of ability, because they can't create anything on their own. dats some wider theme in american political discourse, but wondering wat it means for u
>man becoming some sorta real nomad feels so right NGL
oh like the moving van and camper communities in usa
>undoing the state wouldn't mean undoing the tech advancements
yeh wasn't implying that, only to the extent that it would have to if global trade and supply chains didn't exist. u would have bicycle (no rubber wheel), but not car (or some type of self propelled steam carriage u could imagine being produced by few ppl). u would have meth and simple compounds u can make at garage w/ pretty ghetto equipment, but not modern medicine, etc. knowledge would be preserved too so there's lot more u can do locally than 50 or 100 years ago
>I don't see a point in being ruled by mediocrity
think that's pretty delulu statement. like in usa how RFJ is dismantling NHA because he knows better than all the experts. there's lots of fools, intermediaries, and parasites involved, making the state less efficient, but overall i don't think laws and state policies r made by idiots. or ok i guess more like state does minimal reasonable stuff, for appearance, and pocket all the rest, which a lot. reasonable ppl founding their own society could probably do w/ lot smaller state. like on 4chan i read about how everything, laws, schools etc has to be designed for dumbest quarter of ppl, which makes everything less efficient. tons of laws would never have been necessary w/o them. but 'dumb' ppl exist, even if u found ur libertarian society w/ other geniuses on moon their children will after few generations gravitate towards mean intelligence (maybe still slightly elevated after x generations, but not enough to sustain some arbitrary utopian political system their parents agreed on)

sorry this was kinda lousy reply

I dunno wat are you are arguing for any more. Or wat Im supposed to arguing for

I dunno, you just switch focus to other. Cool, I wanted to talk about Russia though

I dunno, thats one very interesting opinion on things. Sure, you are technically not incorrect so I guess…

I dunno, you say one thing but mean other. You are not wrong, but at the same time profoundly incorrect. Russia has gorilla levels of natural resources, and well developed oil sector. In fact, Russia can afford welfare state. But it cant, for political reasons than economical. It is the decision of those who rule over us that we do not deserve decency, and for the simple reason. We dont demand it, so, we exist on good graces of the government, employer, church, father. The west has no bearing and no consequence on why do we have insane wealth inequality and brazen corruption, but its our own societal problem. Problem of deeply apolitical population

>imo it's political ideology
Again, what I am saying is capitalism is basically a misnomer for liberalism (which is a political ideology) but that line of discussion isn't particularly interesting anyway
>how do trump and putin have anything to do w/ ancap
In my eyes, they are what liberals become when the checks and balances of ethics and other rules are completely removed. In a way, they are like a quintessence of a liberal (hate liberals, simple as xD).
>like it's weird u think ancap isn't just ur personal preference
I am not an ancap proponent. Though regarding that point, it's more like it's either humanity achieves widespread solidarity or humanity kills itself, there is no other way pretty much. Like, nukes fly, highly toxic agents get released, genocidal wars start, outbreaks of weaponized viruses etc yadda yadda yadda. The help isn't coming, the big daddy to beat the baddies isn't coming, we must find a way to stop hostilities basically forever. The clock is ticking and it was NEVER as bad as it is right now perhaps (and it is going to get worse).
>tho i wonder wat political ideology it'll be when we're all forcibly mind uploaded
That's a mass genocide scenario basically BTW. Even uploading to a bunch of autonomous robot bodies isn't quite as bad. I am looking for scenarios where humanity can survive with keeping some grace xD
>who r statists
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statism
Proponents of the state as a legitimate idea.
>only to the extent that it would have to if global trade and supply chains didn't exist
We probably can go to space without the state as well, i.e. statist does not mean industrialist lol. But yea perhaps it's more tricky that way.
>think that's pretty delulu statement
The whole point is more like: if humanity is more or less same across the globe as far as mediocrity (or giftedness) is concerned with gifted people randomly appearing here and there, and if we cannot really (apparently lol) ensure that those people reliably raise into powerful positions (state as social group protects itself and establishes a clique and not a society with social mobility) - then why bother with the idea of a state/authority at all and not just let people "grow" or whatever you call it? Why allow mediocrity to become a boss instead of letting that mediocrity be somewhere else? Something like that
