And do you think that's likely to happen any time soon in the real world?

It's all well and good coming up with theories on paper but if your theories only work on paper, then don't count them as solved.

Well a good first step for helping the people who exist now live decent lives would be to scrap your car and ban your meat.

Cool cool. So how have people taken this lifestyle advice so far? Have they been receptive to it? How many vegans who don't drive, do you know? Because I only know one, me.

Forcing this behavioral change in people might be the only way... but I think that's called fascism, no?

Hey ho, anything to save our awful species though. So, who do you have in mind as dictator in your region? I bet cars being confiscated and forced veganism is going to go down a treat with your neighbours.

No, fascism is an ideology based in the myth of palingenetic ultranationalism, characterised by 14 traits including such concepts as "machismo", "the cult of action", and "the enemy is strong and weak".

Forming a vigilante mob to smash rich people's stuff is perfectly compatible with anarchism. Voting to ban the sale of cars at the federal level is a more moderate option palatable to capitalist liberals, and also not fascism.

So anarchist vigilantes smashing rich people's stuff is in line with your government?

Your government who you trust to ignore industry lobby money but also vote majorities, is going to ban the sale of cars?

Where the fuck do you live and how is this government of yours even worse than the laughing stock Trump's is?

And why would rich people not hire armies to protect themselves from these government sanctioned droves of roaming '"""anarchist"""' vigilantes out to smash their stuff?

Well obviously we organise into armed militias and overthrow the government in a communist revolution first.

What are you doing on slrpnk.net?

Oh bless, that's so cute and just utterly fucking hysterical. I'm struggling not to ask if you're 14 and have just discovered Marx. Wow, I genuinely haven't laughed this hard in a while, that was a work out.

I'm on slrpnk.net because I've been following climate science for probably longer than you've been alive.

I'm actually 8 and I already have two PhDs. I also beat Shaq in a game of half court and I helped invent the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

Good for you Genius, I wish you luck organising your anarcho-communist militias and forming the authoritarian dictatorships of your dreams.
