If by anarchy you mean freedom of association, then sure.

Libertarian socialism rejects representative democracy, they favour horizontal institutions with instantly recallable delegates instead of representives.

It's probably best to watch some YT videos by Anark https://www.youtube.com/@Anark or Andrewism https://www.youtube.com/@Andrewism on Youtube. Anark is very pedantic which I like, while Andrewism is mo

Alternative would be libertarian socialism, with economy of some mixture of cooperative economics, decentralized planning, gift economy and library economy.

There are actually 2 libertarian socialist/anarchist-inspired revolutions happening in the world right now - Zapatisas and Rojava. There are even more horizontal projects of this nature, you can check the list here: https://

Just for people to read to see how messed up are Turkish fascists, they do indeed try to genocide Kurds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_of_Kurdish_people... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

Yeah, NATO supports fascists Turkey, because Turkey is in NATO, Turkey is trying to annihilate Kurdish nation. You are probably a Turkish bot and you perpetuate falsehoods to justify the genocide of Kurds by Turkish fascists.

I do think people should learn about Rojava - Kurds are doing a libertarian socialist revolution and they care about ecology and feminism which is very unique. I'm just afraid that fascist Turkey will destroy their project, but if not

It seems to me like the movement of worker cooperatives is growing and they seem to be on average much better workplaces than the normal workplaces.

Schizophrenia is actually not that bad, given that John Nash had it and still created game theory, one of the most important theories of applied mathematics that for example has use cases in economy.

I know that at least in AI/ML there are reproducibility challenges, I even had a course during my masters where we had to reproduce a paper. Not perfect, but some disciplines try to address that. AI/ML has a nice feature of publis

I wonder if you know that there are ideologies like market socialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_socialism , they too have a market, but they change the relation of ownership of a workplace from some specific

Not surprising given how the political class is connected to the capitalist class, at some points basically interests of the capitalist class determine the value of a labor in the current system. So labor that naively maximizes the corporat

The video has funny animations but it's right. Unless you can critique it based on it's merits?

Maybe you are right here, but you didn't really seem interest in even trying to understand it. Unfortunate, maybe I am wrong and some day in the future some more convincing argumentation will change your opinion towards considering at

Anarchy is about rulers, anarchists are fine with coming up with agreement and with delegating tasks to other people.

Not for anarchists, anarchists are fine with voluntarily agreeing with an expert.

This is not a hierarchy if that person doesn't command other people and has to convince them. Being charismatic is not bad.

No it doesn't usually, usually they agree to do stuff and if they don't agree everyone goes their own way. Usually there is no command in the friend group.
