    I think the people who post and believe this kind of meme gravely underestimate the harm it will do to the most vulnerable and the enormous, mindboggling amount of money and time it will take to rebuild civilization.

    but, like climate change, we’re hostage to the people who are willing to go to the furthest extremes to advocate their position - jan 6th types, mostly. and like climate change, I don’t see much to be hopeful for, even though I’m trying real hard to retain a shred of optimism for my kid’s benefit alone.

      Nobody is saying to destroy civilization.

        ok so what’s the plan then? how do you destroy the system but keep the tools needed for civilization to continue? It’s an honest question because I see lots of doomer and boogaloo types but no one seems to offer up a plan.

          Simplifying things, Anarchist praxis is to start building the new world in the shell of the old. We start building org structures we want to have, co-operatives, unions, moneyless exchange systems etc. These things naturally destabilize the existing system until it collapses under its own inherent contradictions, and then these orgs take over seamlessly.

            And other lies you can tell yourself. Dont get me wrong, i am more aligned with anarchist thought than any other leftist denomination, but holy shit we cant be this naive.

              No naivety involved. This has already happened and been shown to work.
