   @whatzaname @HeavenlyPossum @szczur @AdrianRiskin @jpaskaruk @Radical_EgoCom the capitalists credo is getting ahead by pushing others behind, and their sickness is what they want all of the rest of society to reflect (but also in a less successful way) so they do not stick out as being so evil but do remain uniquely wealthy.

     Anarchism certainly isn’t a “eutopia” in the sense of a perfectly good place, but it’s also not a “utopia” in the sense of an unobtainable ideal. A lot of people get the impression that anarchists believe anarchism is a panacea for all our social ills, but most anarchist thought is about *doing the hard work* to create and sustain anarchism while addressing conflict in the absence of coercive authority.

     @HeavenlyPossum @szczur @AdrianRiskin @jpaskaruk @Radical_EgoCom this anarchist thinks mostly about how to form a local community that is mutually supportive and focuses on realigning our lives so that none take seconds while anyone lacks firsts.
     But it's hard, we are trained not to trust each other, and I feel trapped by our own financial insecurity, even tho we are relatively secure. i know everything can be taken from us quickly and we too will be lining up or scrounging bins for leftovers.
     It's a scary world, and it's made that way on purpose.
     I can't abide a system that rewards evil and makes murder and destruction a profitable venture.
     So, i gotta take the leap.
     And i am scared.

     So i turn on the tv and Netflix some k-drama and try to forget shit is so bad.

     I suspect i am not the only one.
