>>I get it, I'm an anarchist. > Doubtful There's pragmatic anarchism - the belief in the concepts that some facets of anarchy is good : i.e. less reliance on a central govt and hierarchies, perhaps instead some system where 90% of your tax money has to be spent w/in 100 miles of your home, the rest can be fought over between the State+Federal. Make states more like EU countries, etc. Instead of full socialism - just make companies either switch to co-ops or make the 'board' be made up of at least x% average (non-management-level) workers and give every worker at least (some) voting powers, and make labor unions practically a given. Companies could create mutual aid programs that benefit their local residents who are their customers as well as employees. Universal healthcare for example could come from just being loyal to worker-owned businesses above corporate companies. >> Government is the problem here We have government regardless of if it works in our best interest or not (protecting water, ubi, healthcare). I'm an anarchist too, albeit pragmatic, with a focus on syndicalism, but we have to work in the framework we're given and that's capitalistic country, so the only way we can fix this is govt intervention or community enforced interventions. Ideally to me THIS is what the federal govt SHOULD be about and ONLY this : interstate matters, foreign affairs, and military (though I think each STATE should have their own military that they 'loan' to the feds). I'm with Jefferson on the idea that we should be more loyal to our local neighborhood, then our state and only then the federal. We definitely can use more regulation for companies that don't have some social benefit designation, but I'm not sure how to reconcile that specifically with anarchism except going all in on co-ops because a company where all the workers are on the board, are less likely to vote Yay on dumping forever chemicals in the water and poisoning their own water sources. The problem is corporations are treated like humans without any of the moral costs and punishments. Corporations should be able to be 'executed'.
