I believe in advocating for workers owning the means of their production. Improvement in social welfare and services and ending class divisions

I'm an anarchist and any good anarchist is heavily informed by Marx's shots on capitalism. So short of it is absolutely own the means of production but I have no truck with this notion of conquering the state and centrally planning the economy. I find that just reinforces class systems. Organize before all else.

@CountScrofula valid point but abolishing the government right away would lead to chaos

@Loopysoutherner Absolutely right. Hence "organize before all else". You need something in place.

@Loopysoutherner when we say abolish the state, we don't mean "anarchy" in the sense of chaos. We mean that we want direct, grassroots consensus democracy, we want no borders and we want no top-down hierarchy. We don't want an entity with a monopoly on the use of violence.

It worked fine in Catalonia, the Ukrainian Free Terroriries, and Kronstadt.

@basilfawlty89 I'm aware of that and highly respect how anarchists want to go about establishing a new fairer society, just sounds idealistic to me
