Is an Anarchist Society Possible?

[TremulousTetra]

That'll be 50p please.

fucking hell butch, I wondered what you meant 50p, until DotCommunist made it clear. http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/ aint been 50p for at least 15 years, you twot.

I actually meant that you sounded like a fairground fakir.

Contemporary working class people understand that exploitation and injustice are essentially contestable concepts, philosophically speaking. They are also sophisticated beyond the bourgeois analysis of society as a set of problems on some shopping list of sundry 'isms. This leaves only poverty as a potential candidate problem. Perhaps it's the "Poverty of student life".

In order to be at one with the Static Cosmos, one must achieve a state of supreme stillness.
This state is known as Apathy.
The word APATHY derives from the Atlantean. A-PATH-Y.
A meaning A. PATH meaning PATH. And Y being an abbreviation of WHY.
Quite literally A PATH TO THE MEANING WHY.

capital is in control, not capitalists or capitalism

Ah, I see.

Market forces and all that.

it takes a leap, not a mere repetition, to understand the capitalists are alienated. A higher level of consciousness.

no that's wrong. How can an inanimate object, be in control, when " men make history"?

As the anarchists lecture everybody, you need to read. capital. Or perhaps you could go here, and follow the link to the capital lectures.

Actually, I think you'll find that I am in control.

Nah; you don't exist, mate.

I tried to read capital once but it's like 1000 pages long so I got a few pages in and thought fuck this.

Can you please stop spamming me with links to your own site? Every time I ask a question you you do that.

You're right. It is hard. I read it as part of a reading group. That's why many people are turning to the video lectures, i suggested.

Don't want people to make suggestions, dont make wrong remarks. www.ResistanceMP3.org.uk

 

[TremulousTetra]

Unscientific! You cannot prove a negative. We can only say, there isn't any evidence to suggest he exists.

Liberal.

 

[butchersapron]

Can disprove a positive then? i.e God exists.

Technically he's correct. But I don't bother saying "there's no evidence there's unicorns, fairies, goblins, a teapot orbiting the Sun, a Creator God" etc. The chances that they exist are so vanishingly small, I'm afraid I have the affrontery to assume they don't exist.

 

[CyberRose]

Well there are millions of teapots orbiting the Sun, that's a fact!

 

[danny la rouge]

See, I think it's up to Believers to prove their assertions. Otherwise I'll just assume there's No Such Thing.

But I've got a teapot in my hand right now!

And I suppose you want me to say that your beliefs are harmless as long as it gives you comfort? Well what if there's a drought and people say "It's OK, we'll bring the teapots out of orbit, and slake the thirsts of the multitudes?" Hmm. Hmmm?

But they'd still be in orbit if you wanted to use them to quench people's thirsts during a drought...

Fucking hell, I was just being pedantic, for a wind up.

You are the only one who was being jocular and light-hearted about it.

 

[The Creator]

Nah; you don't exist, mate.

My rising support across the world suggests that you are missing the point.

 

[butchersapron]

You need support? Just what sort of second rate demiurge are you?

Ratings whore.

Log in confusion, God?

ETA - ah, saw your edit.

 

[LLETSA]

Log in confusion, God?

No-rapid boredom syndrome.

Plus, I've never done this double log-in thing before. Wanted to see what it was like to be an ubermensch with a sock puppet or two up my sleeve.
