Oh, I'm not saying that it was purely undertaken because of the Republican Party. What I'm saying is that the American state began to whip up the war ...
I was basically suggesting that, if an organizations democratic process is like a Rube Goldberg device, then, you will necessarily have the problem of...
That's something, I guess. I don't know. I just felt some sort of inspiration to do something upon witnessing this whirlwind of events, only to later ...
He does have a few years to recover, I guess, and, so, I may still my full eight years of apathetic bliss. It's no use thinking along the lines of the...
That's fairly comforting, but I'm still not entirely convinced that, as an Anarcho-Pacifist, I won't be considered as a domestic terrorist threat. Upo...
I guess that the Taliban have seized most of the border checkpoints, and, so, leaving is probably kind of difficult. Every now and then, though, it pr...
In all seriousness, though, despite that that's not necessarily not serious, to answer @"Apollodorus"'s question, we're about to have to cope with a r...
There's this quote that Emiliano Zapata has, "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." @"baker" once said it to me here, which, i...
Reflections on the Battle of Algiers: Poetic Hypertext in Light of Recent Events The news report from the calm of the eye at the center of the storm i...
That's a nice sentiment and all, but, in Afghanistan, I think that we have to accept that it is already too late. The United States isn't going to ree...
I agree, though, I think that there's a counter-terrorism branch, of what, who knows, in the United States that handles such things internationally. Y...
I think that the most responsible thing to do, though it is kind of demoralizing for me to say so, is to begin to prepare for the refugee crisis, whic...
I don't think that I quite believe that stock buybacks are where most of a company's profits go, but, sure, the board directors more or less control a...
In so far that you have a too complex of a democratic process, only a few people will understand how it works. That's fair enough, but I think that th...
Welcome, how? You've been nothing but dismissive and snide. Am I considered for membership within a cooperative that you are a part of? Probably not. ...
The shortest definition for anarchism is "libertarian socialism". Some people prefer to say that it is a political philosophy that attempts to reify t...
It does have something to do with anarchism, though. You see, when Fransisco Franco declared himself to be the King of Spain, a civil war began betwee...
To sort of emphasize this point, the Basque region of Spain was a stronghold for the Republican movement during the Spanish Civil War. There are peopl...
What I am curious of, though, as I have a certain degree of self-interest in clarifying my general praxis in the vain hopes of finding like-minded all...
A short note about complexity: There seems to me, within any given democratic process, to be kind of a Golden Mean between dynamic adaptability and ov...
There are some considerations to ponder here, namely that you are bound to only have a few people who truly understand the democratic process, but I t...
As uncouth as it is to say, I'm kind of impressed. I looked at the news yesterday and they had taken 11 out of the 34 provincial capitals. When I look...
Had we merely waged a counter-terrorist operation against Al-Qaeda, that could also have been an effective strategy. It probably would have been the m...
While the term, "agitprop", did originate in the former Soviet Union, it does generally denote any sort of political art designed to inspire some sort...
I kind of agree with you that it's unlikely for co-ops to catch on. You might not be talking about anarchism, but, I am so inclined to wonder, when we...
Occupy Wall Street was a broad-based anti-capitalist movement that became popular in 2011. Slavoj Zizek was sort of involved with it, but it wasn't co...
Eh, I thought it was some pretty good Occupy agitprop and bid for co-ops. A little heavy handed with the totalitarianism and tyranny, but, it is agitp...
Upon looking these things up, the transition town movement seems to be all, well, good, and all, but the United States reentered the Paris Agreement b...
Well, the opposition to nuclear power was born out of the anti-nuclear movement, originally set forth in favor of disarmament and later led to the cre...
Well, the proponents of molten salt and Thorium claim that there is no possibility of creating nuclear weapons due to the reactors, but, it is actuall...
It says in the "100% renewable energy" article on Wikipedia that "supporters of 100% renewable energy do not consider nuclear power as renewable or su...
Molten salt reactors and Thorium reactors are both still preferable to the nuclear reactors that we have now, particularly because of the decrease in ...
Sure, everyone can participate in the thread however, but it is your prompt that everyone responds to. Most people probably just read your original po...
What did you post? I've been thinking about starting a completely pointless hipster chauvinist contest over this. I dunno. I'm a pretty lonely guy. Do...
It's all probably somehow due to the habits of certain painters, I think. Unfortunately, we have rather high-flown libertines to blame for all of this...
The inexistence of nonviolent liberal communism globally is my refutation of the benevolence of God, at least, in so far that God is omnipresent, omni...
Right, like, some form of economic democracy, probably somehow coupled with some form of participatory democracy, which it doesn't necessarily have to...
That's only because you fail to see how nonviolent gradualist Anarchism, blind faith in Noam Chomsky, or Social Democracy are all actual solutions to ...
I was still typing. I don't feel a need to keep debating this, but, that may or may not be possible as @"Xtrix"'s solution to the ecological crisis, l...
I understand that you have a preference for Social Democracy, which I think is just fine, but you are kind of dismissing distinctions that have been m...
It is called the "graveyard of empires" for a reason. Considering the situation militarily, it seems to me that we could reengage within the conflict ...
I hear what you're saying and have even authored a post on it myself, which also devolved unto a debate about Rosa Luxembourg, but you do as a certain...
I am using "The Taliban" to refer to the entire loosely affiliated set of Afghan insurgents, more or less to avoid having to list any number of partic...
