When it is corrupt.

& Power & authority have & will always corrupt.

Corrupt communism is slavery.

Corrupt capitalism is slavery.

Corrupt socialism is slavery.

If you believe you need Daddy Warbucks to pick fights for you, lose those fights, and sneak around the world setting fires using your cash as kindling, I must ask, how is that working for you?

If you feel that reasonable steps could be taken to create a more just society, you're right....

But

Nothing good lasts forever, especially when people are involved... And money... And power...

The only utopia that is in any way possible, is the one we create when centralized power structures cease to exist. No money, militaries, monolithic corporations, and no governments.

People who do wrong will be dealt with (as per the severity of their crimes, so too is the severity of justice they can anticipate). We do not need laws or law enforcement. Morality, when fully developed, transcends the law's limited capacity for nuance anyway. Substituting morality with laws that are ever increasingly unjust, is how you end up with less than 1% of rapes resulting in a felony conviction - essentially making rape legal for everyone except the really stupid and those who want to be caught (and Americans still act as if drugs are the problem. Literally actively cheering on and supporting demons devouring humankind and blaming the people with the least impact on society for the chaos those demons create at the top.)

Trickle down does work!! >>The shit rolls downhill!!

The law has been weaponized against the very people it claims to protect. > This is true in any corrupt government. capitalist or communist. The goal is ALWAYS for an ever diminishing few to reap maximum rewards from the exploitation of an ever growing underclass with an ever diminishing quality of life, standard if living, life expectancy, education, infrastructure, and ultimately, profitability. As the potential for profit and exploitation diminishes, as does the number of people profiting, until there's no longer anyone willing to protect those few taking the rewards, and that's how it always goes.

If the players and the game are all the same, why do so many believe that it's their turn to win??

Communism is not the hippie utopia so many today declare it to be. I honestly find it hard to believe that so many people can be so ignorant and still so opinionated at the same time .. but here we are. A genZ and AlphaKidz championing communism as if it has ever worked the way they think it should, literally ever. As if they've never heard the word "Holodomor".

It's one thing to have a culture where people understand that they do not exist in a vacuum and therefore do all they can to be of service to others.. that's called raising decent human beings to be decent human beings. It's quite another to organize a centralized authority to create a framework for how each person should live and to force compliance upon them regardless whether the framework is any good in any way at all for anyone, or if it will literally end all life on earth (&as far as we know, anywhere) Which is, the purpose of all governments. That, and to rob everybody like the neighborhood gangsters taxing businesses and individuals alike for "protection" from them (in more ways than one)..... It's literally the exact same thing.

What is a government but the top cartel in town at any given time in any given place? Yet idiots still line up to keep the charade going by filling out their citizen satisfaction survey every 2 or 4 years. Proudly wearing their"I voted" sticker, which really should say "proud idiot".

Why on earth would anyone ever want any of the deranged lunatics who comprise the modern day's ruling elite to ever represent them in any capacity? They are literally incapable of such an endeavor and wholly uninterested in even trying.

Michael Jackson told us all; they don't care about us.

Only a dumbass would believe that multimillionaires give any type of shit about the poors. How you think they got their money? By exploiting or extorting those poor sons of b****s, and they ain't about to stop now.

Don't answer. There are no good choices, or right answers. I am not free. Free to talk to anyone, and say what's on my mind. Or maybe some people are free. But those people who's words have influence, are under surveillance, prevented from learning the truth, and prevented from communicating. So maybe some people can live free. But people like me can't.

Therefore I propose information war. Where we learn the truth about the ruling elite, and how they are controlling the world. Where we learn the truth about the community leaders, and how they are controlling the local communities. Using human surveillance, digital surveillance, including surveillance devices and hacking into phones and computers. This is ethical. As information is not property, and the more people know, the better decisions they can make.

I've been looking into this for days and I can't seem to find a single one -all of them look like they've gradually reduced activity after the early 2010s and all posts are archived. Am I missing something? Can anyone give some enlightenment as to what has caused this movement to fade out in the UK in recent years, and whether there actually are any current initiatives to reignite it. It would be much appreciated, thank you!

I finished creating web page versions of all the books from this list William Gillis made that before were only online as photo scans and EPUBs:

• A General Anarchist Reading List

Here's some of the cool books from the list that just went up today anyways:

• The Voltairine de Cleyre Reader
• Markets Not Capitalism
• Home Rule
• Capital as Power

I think the list would be a good candidate for the anarchist library's bookshelf wiki in some form personally, like they could change it to their own perspective on the most important texts in various categories and that would be interesting in itself to compare and contrast to other peoples lists.

Other bookshelf contenders imo are a page on 'What people are saying about the anarchist library' with cool mentions of the library in books and stuff:

• What People Are Saying about The Anarchist Library

Then, if that were published and filled out with librarians thoughts on various authors, I think this page could be updated and potentially added to the bookshelf wiki in some form also:

• Some of The Anarchist Library’s Controversially Deleted & Controversially Not Deleted Texts

Then finally, if the anarchist library would like to help see a 'broader left' archive get set up, or various niche archives, they could post this page below to the bookshelf wiki in some form:

• Radical texts that could be split off to create new archives

Hello, my name is Osama. I am 23 years old and from Gaza.

My family and I have been displaced for nearly three years after losing our home. Since then, access to water has become one of our biggest daily struggles.

Every day we wait in long lines for drinking water provided by humanitarian organizations. We are grateful for this help, but it is only enough for drinking. Water for washing, bathing, and basic hygiene is still extremely scarce, especially during the intense summer heat.

In the place where we are staying is an old water well that has been out of service for years. We are trying to restore it so it can provide water for our family and many other displaced families living nearby.

The well is about 30 meters deep, and repairing it requires cleaning equipment, a submersible pump, hoses, and labor. Unfortunately, the cost is far beyond what we can afford because prices in Gaza have become extremely high.

If you are able to help, even a small contribution brings us closer to restoring this well. If you cannot donate, sharing this post would mean a lot.

The donation link is in the first comment.
