A social motivation, which obviously challenges faithfully held dogma. The dogmatic are spoiled, so yes, it is on purpose. It is a good thing. Especially in this crumbling commercial empire called the US

These founding documents are treated like trash by the government. It’s all been a broken promise and becoming more obvious to more people with every year. People like the ideals fine, but they’re unsustainable under the system

Anarchist: Okay, then. There have been all sorts of successful experiments: experiments with worker’s self-management, like Mondragon; economic projects based on the idea of the gift economy, like Linux; all sorts of political organiza- tions based on consensus and direct democracy...
Skeptic: Sure, sure, but these are small, isolated examples. I’m talking about whole societies.
Anarchist: Well, it’s not like people haven’t tried. Look at the Paris Commune, the revolution in Republican Spain...
Skeptic: Yeah, and look what happened to those guys! They all got killed!
The dice are loaded. You can’t win. Because when the skeptic says “society,” what he really means is “state,” even “nation-state.” Since no one is going to produce an example of an anarchist state—that would be a contradiction in terms—what we’re really being asked for is an example of a modern nation-state with the government somehow plucked away

Justifiable hierarchies, sure. But we can only bring community back by enfranchisement. Don’t be a dolt

No, it’s faulty praxis. Lenin is a giant fool bourgeoisie. The who scientific socialism things has really poisoned the movement. I was just telling some poltards about IQ tests not being scientific. Same goes with economics smashed together with sociology. You can’t solve it with a calculator and slide ruler. You have to feel your way through it. Region by region, culture by culture. Every generation shifts it to nearly unrecognizable positions.
Cope.

Like the way it grows underneath the ground without your knowing, without your permission

Not really. I can *excoriate* scientific socialism just the same now.
It’s a dream till it’s done, or we’re done
