Socialism@lemmy.ml•The Ineffectiveness of Anarchism Under Capitalism and the Authoritarian Nature of Revolution
0·11 months agoI literally provided concrete examples of shows doing just that. There are plenty of other examples such as Mr. Robot or V for Vendetta. Some are more subtle than others, but the message is always that resisting authority should be done by lone rebels, and loose self organizing groups. Some shows name anarchism explicitly, others merely imply it.
The examples you provided are fictional movies popular for their alternative plot. If you are interested in anarchism read authors like Malatesta, Emma Goldman, Bakunin or Kropotkin. “Anarchism” is not a football team, saying anarchists have nothing to show in over a century sounds like a misinterpretation of anarchism and an insufficient knowledge of history.
Anarchism and anti-authoritarianism are used as release valves to funnel this discontent away from serious organizing that might challenge the system.
Organization does not imply authority or rulers. Authoritarian organizations can be used as a release valve too and one could argue they are easier to manipulate and control.
They are in fact dependent on central authority as history clearly shows.
A person can have discipline and be organized without a general or ruler.
That’s the reality.
I’ve been banned and censored before from this sub and lemmy.ml simply for challenging the narrative. I’m not going to reply here any further. You are welcome discussing authority in a less authoritarian sub where none of us will be silenced.

Socialism@lemmy.ml•The Ineffectiveness of Anarchism Under Capitalism and the Authoritarian Nature of Revolution
0·11 months agoThe promotion of anarchism within capitalist media, coupled with the suppression of Marxist thought, is damning evidence against anarchism as viable opposition to capitalist hegemony.
Over here capitalist media and state media are the same outlet and never in my life i’ve seen them promoting anarchism. They don’t even mention anarchists as such unless when it’s useful to portrait “anarchism” under bad light, they are usually referred to “extremists” or “antagonists”.
Meanwhile, history demonstrates time and again that revolutions require centralized authority to dismantle oppressive systems.
This sound like a generalization that isn’t necessarily true and one could argue that replacing an oppressive system with another is no revolution at all.
Capitalism tolerates anarchism precisely because it poses no systemic threat
I’m not sure where you live, in pretty much every country in the world self thought is discouraged and education is rooted in conformism.
while revolutionary movements succeed only by embracing disciplined, organized force.
Discipline and organization are not dependent on a central authority. State media is working hard in making sure you don’t hear about success from “others”.

11·1 year agoSo if russia were to be attacked by china would it be ok for them to draft people by force to defend their sovereign territory? If you were someone living in russia would you be ok with putin goons arresting you if you try to leave the country?

World News@lemmy.world•Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leaderEnglish
1·1 year agoThanks for reporting on the draft in russia too. Forced conscription is form of slavery and a violation of human rights, it should be abolished and every person should fight against it and against the governments forcing it on people.
When two countries drafting people by force and not allowing them to leave the country get into a war you get a total disaster where poor people are forced to murder each others. The rulers and government behind these authoritarian polices are criminal and enemies of humanity.

11·1 year agoZelenskyy is a goddamn hero
He’s far from being a hero. Zelenskyy just happens to be the president of a country being invaded, if trump was in his place you would be here calling him a hero. Zelenskyy is the president of an authoritarian government who turned to martial law and is drafting people by force while not allowing any male between 18-60 to leave the country.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilization_in_Ukraine#2024
“In 2023, harsher methods of mobilization began to be used, such as road blocks, business raids, and pulling people from the streets. In the latter half of 2023, videos surfaced online showing Ukrainian men violently dragged into vans and driven to the military recruiting centers”
As others have done the best solution seem to be blocking twitter links but still allowing screens, this way you preserve the content but don’t give them any clicks.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.
01·1 year agoMath doesn’t decide what people vote, they are free to vote anything they want. Parties don’t automatically side with each others because another is most likely to win. This video is rooted in the mindset that politics and elections are a horse race between left and right.
What’s preventing third parties from winning it’s not math but the propaganda and the power of the red and blue party. The ruling parties didn’t become this powerful mathematically. Over decades and centuries the ruling class paved their way and ensured their power with violence and repression.

Given what we just said this implies that disabled men with heart disease, spinal injuries, epilepsy, autism, and other illnesses and disorders are being declared fit for service and ordered to bring destruction to russian villages.
except maybe it will help end the war sooner.
How do you think shift destruction to russian villages will help end the war sooner?

Yes those who are rich and are disabled men with heart disease, spinal injuries, epilepsy, autism, and other illnesses and disorders can pay their way out of following orders such as “orders to invade Russia”
The others are left on their own and needs to hide like criminals and attempt to escape the country and government mobsters

“Volodymyr Zelenskiy has announced the dismissal of all the heads of Ukraine’s regional military recruitment centres in the latest drive to root out corruption after officials were accused of taking bribes from those seeking to avoid the frontlines.”
Being able to bribe your way out of draft is better than nothing
