Nationalizing the economy goes against anarchist ideals due to nationalizing means giving it to the government (entirely contrary to anarchist thought). The second one, even after the "trial period", has ended is still taking the fruits of your labor. Under anarchism, there are no companies. They are free associations of workers. The workers who work the capital own the capital. And there isn't money, that's contrary to communism and no matter how you split it money is unegalitarian. A worker keeps what he wants from his labor, and communalizes the rest. And is thus entitled to what he needs from the community.

Edit: Rojava is also not an anarchist project. At best it's a libertarian socialist project. And I've never heard of this "trial period" stuff in anything I've ever read about and anarchist example

I believe people are like this due to the conditions they live in. Capitalism is a system that encourages selfishness in order to survive. I whole heartedly believe that if conditions changed, people would change. Not immediately of course. No anarchist is saying that it wouldn't be a rough transition, or that it's a flawless society, or any of that. But we do think that it would work and that it'd be better in the long run than what we have rn

They would probably vote. How they'd vote idk, that's not for me to decide.

The community themselves decide. If it's enough of a problem, the community will organize to address it how they see fit. That's the whole point of anarchism. We don't have all the answers and we don't claim to, the people that run into these issues will find the solutions that best suites their needs.

You missed the third camp. Anarcho-communists would hate both of these solutions.

People will volunteer to do the job because it is something they (and everyone) needs done. People won't let their entire community collapse because people "didn't want to do it". But these unsavory jobs would theoretically also spark innovation to make the jobs more bearable and probably even unneeded. Better working conditions and more free time leaves time for people to do things like invent and think.

Ah, nice to know we got the authoritarian spectrum covered for instances. Glad that carried over from reddit /s

[–] Comrade_Spood@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In which direction?

If Lemmy really picks up I'd entirely switch, even if reddit fixes it's shit. But rn Lemmy and the fediverse is still pretty low on content, especially compared to reddit. Plus it's really clunky and unrefined. Rn I don't mind but Lemmy and the fediverse are gonna have to buckle down and improve things so people are more apt to make the switch and make the whole experience here more user friendly and enjoyable.

Yeah the app is a bit slow and clunky. Joining communities I have to press the button multiple times for it to work, and sometimes it gets stuck on pending till I leave and open it back up. Plus some other weird clunky things I've noticed. Hopefully it gets refined as more people join, give the devs some more incentive to work on it.
