Soup kitchens contribute to mutual aid setups, which are vital for subsistence and resistance movements against established institutions.

It is directly something that accomplishes movement towards stated goals.

Remember that the media will suppress these incidents.

It’s a step that contributes which is better than nothing, though of course this is supplementary and more is needed

Except technology will be used instead for the exact opposite — techno-fascism.

AI and technology at large are funded and developed by the corrupt elite abusing power and their position in the hierarchy, further entrenching the hierarchy and their ability to abuse it for their own interests.

Although it is possible for tech to be used for good, that is an idealistic outlook that’s unlikely to occur in reality (at least in the sense of it doing away with abuse of hierarchy).

I think that bureaucracy is inherently problematic (corrupt).

I’m fairly familiar with the notion of a direct democracy and can get behind it otherwise.

Thats kind of why I am skeptical of any communist movement that isn’t explicitly also anarchist (i.e. intending to destroy hierarchy). It leads to what you described

You won’t find half the communities or niche interests here. It’s hopelessly small relatively and it’s not visibly getting any better any time soon.

I still shifted off reddit because I found their complacency unacceptable, but the sacrifice is felt.

Well I’m glad you can say that.

In my experience there are people who defend both China and “DPRK” as a communist paragon with reasoning that is although extensive dodges any real criticism of China (from either an external standpoint, or from within a communist pov).

It was my impression that such “tankies” are the primary base of communists (or common enough for it to be a problem), which pushed me away from it.

Wage wars for the pedophilic Epstein class. God bless America.

In practice, it isn’t, usually. None of the communist states extant today or historically had a decentralized system without hierarchies.

Username/pfp checks out.

Formal education is just a means to an end, end being typically independence/jobs, not actually intellect (no matter how much it’s marketed as such).

We’re talking anarchism, not communism

Since when is Iran gay lol it’s phobic af

Iran? Gay?

Israel’s flag.

Yeah I think I misremembered.

I’ll DM you.

He’s a molester, what makes you think this would be an issue for him?

Yeah, you say that when so many lgbt children lose their lives when their parents don’t accept them.

Christianity kills lgbt people.

Appreciate the response.

It’s funny, I just saw a meme where anarchists were portrayed as being the ones to ditch communists after common goals have been achieved.

What community/instance would you recommend?

Do you mind getting into a discussion around what anarchism is/etc more?

Is that similar to the moderation on .ml? I was recently banned from memes.ml because I was unapologetically criticizing china and they didn’t seem to like it.

In other words, do anarchist instances suffer from the same moderation prejudices of communist-centric ones?

If they do, there wouldn’t be much of a difference.
