The thing about anarchists, revolutionaries and other political gobshites, is they have no answers.

When the struggle is won and there’s no more governments, banks and so on, they have no idea how a hospital would stay open.

Or how people too old to work would subsist.

Or how to motivate people to do awful/dangerous work that people rely on.

Or how to provide a life time of care and treatment for people born with disabilities.

Or how to respond when another country invades you because you look like a group of defenceless hippies living in your own shit and dying of preventable diseases in your early 40s.

False.

See Catalonia, Rojava and Zapatistas.

@basilfawlty89 Are you suggesting Catalonia doesn’t have a government, banks or a central authority?

Because I’ve been, and they certainly do.

@basilfawlty89 If you haven’t been, I can certainly recommend it. Lovely place.

@WintaTheAngle you know full well I mean Catalonia during the 1930s when fighting against Franco.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@basilfawlty89 Right. But the result of that fight was not a set of circumstances I’ve described here. So a bit pointless….
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@WintaTheAngle but you claimed Anarchists have no plan regarding infrastructure, healthca, etc.

That statement is incorrect.

@basilfawlty89 So how would a hospital function without manufactured drugs and equipment, payed staff and a steady supply of electricity, water, ambulances and the required fuel, it systems, communications in a world that has no money to build, pay for and maintain it?

@basilfawlty89 word. The thing some don't seem to grasp to is there's a lot of BS many consider as only existing for the sole purpose of consumption inorder to propel capitalism and therefore uneccesary to really have any solution or means for.
