    Just to be clear if you had a magic button that would result in guaranteed gradual reform if you pressed it. And not pressing it would result in collapse.

    You would press the button, right?

        How do you feel about democracies? Like say it post collapse and revolution. You ended up on top. Would you create a democracy?

          This may come as an absolute shock, but this is a post gleefully celebrating the idea of the downfall of a genocidal regime

          If you want to discuss anarchist theory, there are much better forums for that than 196. Too many libs here.

                After reading a bit. It seems like a Democratic system. I didn’t get the details but assuming the people who are appointed to the councils are voted upon. And voting happens within the councils. Then I would say yeah the system is Democratic.

                  Anarchism could be considered the most democratic system in the world, even if we don’t tend to apply that term

                  Conversely, since it by definition requires the absence of hierarchies, we wouldn’t have a situation where we are compelled to oppress marginalized groups, no matter how popular the idea may be (I’m thinking here for example of how US liberals say our president has “no choice” but to imprison immigrants and participate in genocide just because there are enough racists that agree we should oppress these groups)

                  I could go on, but I’m going to shut up now before someone pops out of a well

                    That’s fair. I think generally anarchists have good ideas. If there is a violent revolution, I would probably end up being your comrade in arms.

                    I don’t think we would win though. Most people think anarchism is a bad word right now. I can’t imagine recruiting fighters during the revolution under the banner of anarchism. Hell even progressivism isn’t very popular. As always, liberals are the problem.

                    We may have to have a revolution but I think it needs way more time to cook.
