Anarchy and property don't go together because you need men to get together and agree on what is whose property and how they should fend it from others and right wrongs; or else no one's going to have any property except for a strong few.

Great explanation of an incredible book! The anarchist’s philosophy reminds me of a book written by Nixon’s speech writer who became a welder and lived on the barter system. Can’t remember his name but I read it in the 1970’s. Fair pay for quality work and quality products makes sense to me.

Limiting the number of tools to avoid clutter and making a tool chest truly portable is great advice. Knowing which tools to purchase and use is the game changer. An old Stanley 289 skew angle rabbet plane is amazing. An old Stanley 140 skew angle block plane is a game changer.. A set of chisels ( 1/8 to 1 1/4) with high quality steel is very high on the list. Swann, Buck Brothers cast steel, Berg, and others from the 1880's to the 1930's are money well spent. Stanley everlasting chisels (sweetheart era) with wood handles, full tang and metal end caps have truly amazing steel. Sargent VBM hand planes (1910 to 1918) with east Indian rosewood totes and thicker English irons put my type 11 Stanleys to shame. A 9 inch combination square (Starrett) is easier to use than a 12 inch. A Stanley no. 22 combination square gives you plumb and level bubbles. Most only give you one bubble. Plumb hammers with the side strike head make chiseling easier (22 oz). Good quality antique tools can make a big difference in the quality of your work. I have a lot of chisels, but I always reach for my Keen Kutter socket chisels from the 1920's. I believe they were made by Berg. Disston saws are usually money well spent. Keep the tools that work great, sell the others . Thanks Chris and Megan for your educational videos.

I have the same problem with that distinction! You can't have the human scale if there is not a collective of how we organise and share our habitat! And our personal property would still be there if we abolished the private one. However, even if that "academic" distinction is true... How we live and how we relate to the material world, would be best if seen from the small scale perspective Swartz is talking about. We don't have to agree necessarily on the definitions. But on what matters. Both constructing societies that make this easier, and living - as he does - with this in mind are both needed, in my opinion.
@jforozco12 4 ай бұрын
@@alemholas It doesnt need to be an academic distinction, but a legal and techincal one, we can set the limits in pretty basic, understandable and quantifiable ways to what constitutes personal propery and what constitutes private property as a way of ownership that tends to extract value from one class of people to another.

Because of the marketing and sales industries, it’s the same with almost EVERYTHING, from cradle to grave. Thank you for remaining in the 10% zone.

I like your concept, but as a mechanic I have to call bullshit. Having an excess of tools is VERY useful, and you do need them.

You never know when you'll need an extra, or when that extra could save you a lot of money, or even your life.

You make a good point. This certainly isn't a philosophy for everyone in every situation. But I do think we could all use to evaluate our motives in buying tools and determine whether we are in a particular job or hobby for the tools or for the craft and act accordingly.

@@schwarzeasche7538 "Minimalism" can be applied quite broadly, and is often used quite loosely. I don't think you and I disagree at all. I think we're talking about minimalism as a individual lifestyle choice, and not a societal ideal. I would like to add, that while elitism and minimalism can be a bad combo, "elitism" is a problem well beyond the scope of minimalism. My basic point is, out of all the tyrannical elitists you or I will end up interacting with throughout life, I don't think a statistically significant portion of them will be minimalists.
@schwarzeasche7538 10 ай бұрын
I disagree with the take that tyrannical elitists are not likely to be minimalist. It's true that the figureheads like Mussolini or Hitler were themselves not necessarily minimalist, fascism has a very interesting interaction with minimalism, that we also can observe in modern neoliberal and right wing movement, of which some have fascist tendencies. The minimalism doesn't come from the point you are propably approaching it, of reduction as a tool to declutter and consumption reduction or something similar, it comes from the wish to distance themselves from "dirty" culture. this has a racist aspect, for example distancing from "wrong christianity" with "tacy" saint statues, like some mexican catholics or eastern european orthodox, but it's also against youth or sub culture, that is alive and creative like punk, hiphop and even hillbillies in the US or Gravity culture, in all thir diversity, colours and world wide influences. they are seen as a danger to the hegemony in society, and so they become demonised@@GonkyWonkler

So Chris describes himself as an aesthetic anarchist, not a political anarchist. He outlines a little of this in this piece, but there's only so much one can cover in six minutes and it wasn't the main focus I wanted for this piece. This form of anarchism has more to do with one's own mindset about workforce structure; corporation vs. individual. Hope that helps. I'm new to all of it, but my main focus was on the mindset we should have regarding tools, our craft, and contentment.
