A true People's Republic would have less surveillance noncence than this.
The UK is a literal 1984 in the works.

There are too many to list, but one that comes to mind:
- Pyotr Kropotkin. I've read his Conquest of Bread and although sometimes harder to read, it's been highly enlightening for how an anarchocommunist society could self-organise.
What is Stripe?
Freeing the tiddy through tariffs /j
That sucks to hear, though; if you have friends overseas or nearby, couldn't hurt to ask them?
You're right, biological warfare would be a better term.
Calling him a "vaccine critic" is rich; he's a child killer. Due to him, directly, thousands of children will die preventable deaths.
I think a better title would also be "The Playbook Used To Kill People, By Spreading Lies About Vaccines". Or simply, "The Playbook Used For Biological Warfare".
Willfully not vaccinating a ton of people, in my view, is indirect biological warfare.
Well, Kropotkin agrees with you in the last regard; that power should not be concentrated at all.
What he favours is a system such as yours, but differently. Trusts, which are inherently money-based, would be meaningless under an anarchocommunist system, as there is no money to speak of. A gift economy is one option, in where goods are directly given to one another without expectation of reward, and without a middle man such as money.
To prevent a "free rider" or "hoarder" problem, a pay-it-forward model could be handy, in where if you want goods, you need to give plenty back to the community.
Kropotkin was right all along.
What we need, is not a wage slavery system centered around what we earn; but a society based around what we need.
We need to establish our own farms, our own woodcutters, our own medical aids; and we give to each other freely, so that we may freely receive in return.
I mean, in my area we do have the ability to put bicycles on trains and buses alike. Though you don't attach them at the back, you just enter the vehicle with your bike.
If it's a foldable, you can always enter for free (so no added fee on top of the fare). For non-foldable bikes the same applies, though if you do that during rush hour you will have to pay a small fee.
Super convenient, really. Way cheaper also than having a car (as in, the vroom vehicle). You bike from home, enter bus/train, maybe switch from bus to train, and then exit and bike the last few kilometres.
Don't need to look long for a parking spot, don't need to pay much in petrol, no need to focus on traffic, can enjoy the view or do work/hobbies/listen to music while travelling, and so on.
Only downside is that here the fares are pretty high, but the Green & Labour Party is proposing to enable unlimited travelling across the entire country for less than €60 per month outside of rush hours.
For comparison, travelling from one end to another of the country right now would cost €30 per trip. A typical 4-day commute of 40 km per trip would cost around €320 per month now (accounting for travelling both ways).
So, the Green & Labour Party's proposal would result in fares becoming more than 80% cheaper(!) for everyone.
Aah, gotcha, that makes more sense. I got confused then, I guess.
As a leftist I used to oppose the gun ownership for all. Now not so much. I've come to realise that in these times we need to take every measure we can to battle tyranny and fascism.
I still think it's crap if loonies have guys, 'cos I don't want American situations where there are weekly mass shootings. I do think though that when there's totalitarianism rising, we need to disarm the fascist and arm ourselves.
