Anarchism just seems like an edgelord ideology for teens just like Fascism, Nazism and Communism.

>> No.13192750

>>13192466 (OP)
I would suggest looking into 'Anarchism and Other Essays' by Emma Goldman, as this work of hers is specifically focused on providing a window into anarchist thinking.

However, I could also suggest as a first look the first chapter of 'The Conquest of Bread' by Peter Kropotkin, as it isn't that long and focuses the spirit of the whole thing quite well.
If you'd want to dive deeper after reading "the Bread Book", then you could proceed with 'Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution'. It's a natural study on pragmatic and mutually beneficial cooperation that counters Social Darwinism and romanticized ideas of universal, godlike love of man towards his fellow man.

Anarchism is the easiest way to disregard somebody. If someone is too stupid to understand basic facts about human nature they shouldn't be listened to.
You can't not have a state. Ever. And if you somehow did, a state would form and absorb or crush you. Its like fighting gravity. For Anarchism to work you basically need the most perfect isolated utopian circumstances. All people have to have the same ideas, all people have to be good natured and agree on a social contract (NAP or some other), and trust one another. For obvious reasons this could never happen.

Human nature, which doesn't mean what you think it does, is entirely dependent on environment and upbringing. People (read: NOT AMERICAN TWATS) are generally helpful and social. If you live in a capitalist shithole (read: AMERICANS) where emphasis is placed on the individual at the expense of others (unless you're a corporation and then you better bring on the welfare!) you're going to have a very shitty view of community or social responsibility. Go back to your liberal cuck propaganda and worship businessmen, burger shit. The world would be a better place if America were nuked. The world would still be a capitalist shithole but at least you wouldn't see people making slightly above minimum wage defending it whilst being shit on by people who don't give a fuck about them or know (or care) they exist.

Ok, I somewhat agree, before capitalism and liberal democracy, when absolutist monarchies controlled the world and people had very little if any social mobility, the lower classes tended to be healthier and more collectivised. Sure. Are you making an argument against Anarchism? Because that's what it sounds like.

Well so is National Socialism. In fact that argument applies more to NatSoc than Fascism. They were both corporatist economies.
Fascism was more about subordinating the economy to the "spiritual society."
But they are very similar. The only real difference is NatSoc was racist and Fascism was not.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Corporatism allows private industries to hold real influence over politics. National Socialism puts the foot down of the state and doesn't allow those shenanigans to take place. Think of the Teapot Dome Scandal x10. Not to mention Fascists didn't socialize, they left it to private companies. Also.
>They didn't do this though. They planned to but didnt. Same with the Fascists in Italy.
Yes, they did. They did it by abolishing their old shitty currency and backing a new currency with gold and labor. They completely revitalized the German economy by refusing to pay back their, *Completely unfair and crippling* debt. The first order of business they had was expelling Jews from political positions so they could hold sway enough to expel them from financial positions and put the reigns of the economy back in German hands.

Look, I'm not an anarchist, so I don't believe in that magic solution that anarchists have that we can destroy capitalism and the state. And then we can create a stateless and anti-capitalist society. I see socialism as a way to communism, and the use of the state as a revolutionary tool, that maybe a little bit of authoritarism it's necessary to defend against the bourgeoisie.

No! Stop conflating Corporatism with business Corporations! Corporatism comes from the latin word for body; Corpus. It literally just means group. Synonymous with Syndicate or Guild. Its literally just state enforced Syndicalism.
Its literally a socialist nationalist theory.

I'm not him I'm the Parenti poster but I think you should read some of Lenin's writing because you're getting close to exiting the autistic purist anarchist mentality but coming just slightly short. The state is absolutely necessary to defend against reactionary forces internally and abroad.
I think what you would enjoy is about Lenin is that he also hated the state, but was painfully realistic about how it would be destroyed, and recognized that it would be a very long, arduous process. Lenin recognized that class conflict would continue in socialism and that the state would be necessary because of the opposing classes still antagonist under socialism.
The "communism has never been tried" argument needs to be abandoned because it's just blatantly false and isn't giving credit where credit is due. Socialism has been attempted and it was crushed.

State and Revolution by Lenin is an ideal place to start if you're primarily interested in what he had to say anarchists and using the state to defend revolution.

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti would be best contemporary place to start, as well as the best entry to Parenti.

There is something called twin studies, and extensive tests have been done on behavioural genetics with twins. It proves beyond reasonable doubt that genes do impact behavior in a very large way.
>Behavior geneticists concluded that genetics plays a big role in personality, accounting for about half of the differences in personality test results and even more of the differences in IQ scores.
>Apart from these scientific findings, researchers were impressed by many obvious similarities between twins when they were reunited for the first time after being separated from birth. Many of the pairs dressed similarly, or had the same haircut, or glasses. They described remarkable similarities in hobbies and interests. One pair reported that they were the only ones in their neighborhood to construct a circular bench around a tree in their back yard.

>he just ranted about Americans
everything he said about americans applies to any western english speaking internet connected person. I replied with that response in mind not knowing its yours, again if you cant understand I cant help you. If you have specific questions I can elaborate.

Whatever activity people are engaging in is "human nature" because its a natural response to environmental stimuli. Assuming "human nature" is essential is to apply static external attributes to individuals whether they apply or not and label deviations as "unnatural". Generally people who talk about human nature to refer to biological imperatives are not talking about eating and sleeping but like you extending that to abstract social positions. Commonly this is used to say that women are essentially baby makers and those that don't marry and have children are defective. To talk about something more materiel, the concept of a vacuum of power only exists when certain environmental factors are at play, such as private ownership of resources necessary to fulfill actual biological imperatives like eating and sleeping. A quick overview of history will show you that pre-agricultural societies did not have states so this vacuum of power did not exist as sedentary agriculture necessitates the conception of private property.

The idea of territory/property power domination over others etc is predicated on modeling society after solo predatory animals like hawks and eagles via Egypt through Zoroastrianiasm into Abrahamic religions and solidified under neoliberal capitalism with the protestant religion in colonialism. What your are doing is taking the world as it is in 2019 and assuming that through essentialist labelling of others as they fit into your conception of the world you have been experiencing that anarchy is impossible because people in your environment don't act that way.

They aren't wrong you are misinterpreting the scope of their data. It doesn't demonstrate human nature at all. I already showed you how you could improve the experiment but we don't even need to do that because its self evident that people in different environments behave differently. Changing 1 or 2 variables out of hundreds if not millions does not constitute a meaningful data with regards to the effect of environment on genetics.

Humans have natural tendencies. The vast vast majority of humans want to fuck the opposite sex because its hardwired into our brains. Just like we are hardwired with a tribal mentality. Just like many other animals. This can not only be easily observed but its also proven by things like twin studies that show even isolated twins brought up in very different enviroments share common behaviours. You're underestimating the scope of what twin studies show us. They show us that genetics determines behaviour, and everyone has genes.

Close feedback loops have been found in which "nature" and "nurture" influence one another constantly, as seen in self-domestication. In ecology and behavioral genetics, researchers think nurture has an essential influence on nature.[14][15] Similarly in other fields, the dividing line between an inherited and an acquired trait becomes unclear, as in epigenetics[16] or fetal development.[17][18]

But thats entirely beside the point, it wouldn't matter how large the isolation was, because we know for a fact that genes determine behavior.
>no it doesn't, at best it suggests a range of possible behaviors
No you fucktard, it DOES determine behavior. Even more so than enviroment or upbringing.

>In his characteristically colorful language, twin researcher David Lykken occasionally remarked that “Behavior genetics rearranged the furniture in psychology's house” by showing again and again that virtually every trait, from social attitudes to psychopathology, shows genetic influence. It was no Saturday afternoon whim arising out of boredom when behavior genetics moved the behavioral chair over near the genetic lamp. The new arrangement was more accurate: The chair was better placed for scientific reading. By now we have a fundamental understanding that genetic influences are involved in all aspects of psychology and behavior. Turkheimer (2000) even enshrined this as the First Law of Behavioral Genetics, and the law actually underlies all of behavioral science.

Read the journal entry again:

And further, relating to your hairsplitting over influence vs determine:
>the sheer volume of evidence from twin studies and the corroborating evidence from adoption studies and studies of other combinations of relatives makes it unreasonable to deny the presence of genetic influences on behavior. And because the genotype pre-exists all behavior, these genetic influences have to be considered causal at some level.

No I didn't. I said human nature is malleable and adapts to its environment. I did in fact imply that behavior is purely environmental because it is.

I'm not hairsplitting I'm being precise. Different words mean different things.

Everything in this post except

are just arguments against anarchism, and even then it is because this one statement is logically unsound. Human nature is not "essential", just like you said, instead it permeates all societies. Nobody claims it is "essential" to anything, it is a constant that exists within anything humans do. I completely agree with the point that whatever people engage with is a result of human nature, but not all people engage in is supportive of human nature, thus a self-destruction begins. The goal here is to balance between extreme conservatism and extreme liberalism, as one leads to stagnation and death and the other to eventual self-destruction.

While Anarchism is a very silly concept (I’d much rather debate in a relatively advanced observational-Economic realm with Lausanne school, Game Theorists, and economists like Schumpeter who use terminology developed over long periods of analysis with no bias), you must understand that National Socialism WAS, in part, born during a fervent period of Marxist study. In other words, although National Socialism wasn’t Marxist by name, there were other movements going on at the time in Russia and elsewhere which were. And National Socialism was also a worker party movement.

These events had such similar causes that some political theorists/philosophers like Hayek actually conflated fascism and communism. Now as far as economic control goes, perhaps this is more correct, but politically I would never go that far.

But you must admit that there are certain causes which inevitably led to the movement which were borne coeval with similar Marxist movements. They are all materialist philosophies, and if you link National Socialism with Communism, you realize that the actual death toll of Marxist philosophies is much higher than you yet realize.

This is the end result of adopting completely materialist, Communist, Darwinian philosophies within your engine. This is the chaos you get— mass death for all.

anarchism works, of course, as all ideologies work, if you 'really' try them. until people address that bourgeois liberalist ideologies like anarchism, fascism, marxism, feminism, etc. are all based on the metaphysics of presence then people will make excuses why x ideology failed and x ideology hasn't 'really' been tried until the end of time. the metaphysical 'nature' of universal man is he can grow into the perfect (ideological) subject if subjected to the right experiences as he grows. anarchism is right that education, justice, etc and other such functions of a western society based on metaphysics can be carried out outside of dedicated institutions, but by the same token it is wrong in that an ideology based on metaphysics can persist without such institutions.

We are social animals because the mononuclear family is an imperative because of the pre-mature birth of our offspring, which should be born 3 years old for a developement as advanced as any other species' offspring, which is not possible because of the small space of the birth canal and the huge carneal volume of human beings.

Great use of sarcasm, my boy, but capitalism HAS disintegrated community and colective ideologies of the past, there's a whole branch of western marxism dedicated to the analysis of the disintegration of the family, rural communities, work guilds and so on.

It could be expressed as "The dominant ideology is the idology of the dominant class". It is not a moral statement (you live well, you think right. You live badly, you think wrong), it is a scientifical one (You live in this society with this socio-economical relations, you're going to think accordingly to said relations).

It’s just inevitably how statist control into spheres where the state shouldn’t enter wind up : extremely statist, authoritarian regimes.

Look at what happened in Cuba: violent revolution. No matter where Communism reaches it seems Marxist ideology, which is really pop-tier economics, latches on to the susceptibility of thinkers who have just read The Wealth of Nations, which is, like Capital, a rather flawed and myopic take at human exchange, and causes them to think about revolution and chaos shortly after reading the Communist Manifesto.

I remember being 20 or so and being swept away by the Communist Manifesto. Then I decided to actually learn about how economics works. You have no idea how intertwined everything really is. It all depends on people’s subjective valuations of goods or services, once you render these an essentially objective or authoritarian determination of value, you render one arm of the economy essentially motionless. The Hobbesian state is now an amputee, and as the power of issuing currency should never have devolved from the head of state it was already severely flawed.

Just realize there are some serious logical contradictions in what you are reading which are overlooked by the fact that it was the last piece of non- fiction literature to gain as much popularity with society as it did.

It was essentially the Jordan Peterson of the early 20th century, if JP were 10000x more popular. The idea here was that people were simply sick of the industrial revolution and needed something to latch on to.

Something akin to social behaviour may even occur in organisms lacking a nervous system.
