Anarchism.

There is Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) but default Mint is Ubuntu based (Ubuntu is also based on Debian).

That flower is not an actual national symbol of Greece, even if its stylized representations are ubiquitous in ancient decorative arts. The national plants are the olive and the laurel.

Well I’m crying now.

My kid loved it.

Go check out your local bookstore. There’s plenty of minecraft chapter books already. Movies are a natural next step. In fact, Jack Black read the first audiobook in the series. It’s pretty good.

Boosting a Lemmy post in Mastodon shows up as an upvote in Lemmy. So the two concepts seem to be coupled in the activitypub substructure. I don’t see how upvotes would be secret then, as I don’t think it’s possible to boost something privately on Mastodon.

And nobody forked it before it came down?

I don’t know anyone my cohort who doesn’t.

And it is secondary to the economic conditions. If you live all your life under alienating economic conditions then you have little shared purpose left and there is no such thing as communities where you live.

I don’t think this is accurate. It can be, at specific places, but given that alienating economic conditions is the literally the norm everywhere, I don’t buy the argument that the world is a place without communities without shared purpose. On the contrary, some of the most vibrant communities are those created by exploited working people. Anyway, I’m not sure what the argument here is any more, thanks for your answer regardless.

Cool, thanks!

Thank you.

Good point, you’re right, the social network should help mediate this beyond formalistic notions. Thanks.

Feel free to ask questions here.

Literally on the sidebar.

I don’t think my behaviour in this thread has been smarmy or antagonistic, as your cartoon implies, but if it has, I apologize.

I got my answer from Flora, so I’m thanking good faith responses and I’m outta here, glossing my eyes and back with the other nonanarchists. Checkmate, I guess.

But you don’t have a long beard and a black and white photo portrait! How could I have known! /S

Thank you for your time to put together a thoughtful answer. I of course understand that conflict arises and needs to be addressed in all human interactions.

I guess the next step is to ask whether authority or compulsion would be any better at helping a community navigate such differences, and the answer is meh probably not.

Thanks!

I don’t know where you’re going with this. People grow up and live in the places that they do, in a network of friends, relatives and extended family. Before becoming “human capital”, the only people that traditionally uproot themselves to leave and intentionally join a community would be monastics.

I haven’t lived in a suburb, but even in cities there are neighborhoods with their community and extended social networks. That’s the common complaint against gentrification for example, that it uproots urban communities.

Living somewhere just because you grew up there is not some byproduct of capitalism, it’s what humans do.

I’m literally thinking of Greek island villages.

Because the were born there? Because they have lived there for 40 years?

But also we might not be talking about an individual, but one or more groups. In keeping with my setting, in any given Greek village there are multiple groups with super volatile competing agendas.

As an answer this comes close to what I’m asking. But I’m not sure. For example, always getting outvoted can mean eventually getting being pushed out of a place can be tyrannical. I don’t think direct democracy has some magical ability to fix things on its own. In any case what I’m asking is if people have thought through these dynamics over time.

Any pointers to essays would be welcome.

That said, I think you’re sidestepping the problem with a no true Scotsman fallacy. Anarchist groups disintegrate due to petty shit all the time. Why would anarchist communes be immune to the same things?
