why would anarchism be a solution to this, surely it would make it worse?
Do you even know what anarchism is like at all?
Pasting the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article here:
Your username is a bit of a contradictio in terminis, if I may say so.
Zero government. No rules. Take it with force. Of course we're aware of what y'all think. You're the libertarians of the left.
Nope, try again.
No kings, no masters. Mutual aid and harmony without authoritarian leadership.
Kropotkin can explain it better than I can, maybe pick up his book called Mutual Aid.
Cute. Who protects the property? Mutual Aid sounds nice on paper. The truth of human nature is that the strong will take anything you work to build.
We do. Unlike people like you, anarchists are responsible people in society.
yeah, we don't want the strong taking everything you build. Just bend over and let the rich do it instead, because that's better for some reason
Make a place undesirable to rent an Abnb in and people may stop renting.
Tell me you know nothing of anarchy without saying you know nothing.
I believe they specifically asked about anarchy? If they know little about it, what could they have posted that would have been better than what they did post?
They're open to a lucky 10,000 moment; don't drop the ball!
They could live in a home, for staters. Squatting is the crime of living in somebody else's legal property, but under anarchy, an unused home is being put to use, arguably to do what is was designed for. We don't necessarily need total anarchy to push the idea that "sometimes the rules are worse than no rules at all".
I fucking hate 2010 venture capital companies like AirBnb and Uber. Flaunt the law in a sexy way, loss lead with the capital to build market share, then crank the price up.
It’s always bullshit behind a convenient app with great UI
Man, if only there were some organisation that were powerful enough to enforce these rules against people who don't want to follow them.
Aren't taxes and zoning non-existent under anarchy?
If there is no state, there is no one to pay taxes to. And if there is no state, there is no one to make and enforce zoning laws.
Pardon the confusion. This is Lemmy, anarchism is a utopistic solution where everyone sings kumbaya and gets along, not an apocalyptic hellscape where the people with the most guns amass all power. Fortunately, there has never been a societal experiment to determine what anarchy really is, so no one has to be proven wrong.
not an apocalyptic hellscape where the people with the most guns amass all powerHahaha yeah that's totally not what capitalism is at all, right guys? ...right?
Right, but they didn't talk about capitalism.
ah, makes sense. thanks
