As I'm a basic Anachist! There is holes in you're arguement. To fulfill any contract, without a threat of violence. One must make a contract, that fullfill's payment, food, shelter, and entertainment. Nobody will freely build a railroad, during harvest. Anarcho communism is still to single minded to understand this. Two countries that despise each other, will still work together for economic reasons. There is no better description of this. Than no other as the EU. And even the united state's. I live in Kansas! We actually don't like Oklahoma. I must also must disclose. I was born in Oklahoma. There has been times in the history of Kansas. That Oklahoma politics & Kansas politics did not see eye too eye. But that did not stop trade between states. And anarchism was not involved. But money and profit was. But not for the general citizens of both states. The eastern parts of Kansas & Oklahoma. Tend to crap all over their western counter parts. And you wonder why I am lagging on, about the fear and loathing of two insignificant states. It is this. Under anarcho communism. Somebody is still going to get shit upon. And I promise. Russians would've starved to just as much a degree, under anarcho communism. As under state ran communism. Just so they could build the "bomb!

The origin of the word indicates that Anarchism means without rulers, leftists have tried to change its meaning for long but, anybody with a brain can understand that it doesnt mean without hierarchies/unjust hierarchies. There is nothing in the word that indicates an origin of hierarrchy.... So if it's without ruler(s) .

I don't personally know of a definitive method to enact anarchism, but historically most successful anarchist movements have come about in periods of extreme political disorganization (Maknovia in Russia, Anarcho-Syndicalists during the Spanish Civil War, Rojava in Syria) . Outside of these circumstances, most anarchist groups seek to establish anarchism by increasing its popularity and building up mutual aid in preparation for a revolution, when anarchists outnumber and overpower the state. Personally, I think such a revolution is pretty far off goal for developed countries, but that could change. And in terms of preventing foreign states from simply invading and occupying a country after it has been overthrown by anarchists, ideally a voluntary militia/military would be formed for defense and the support of anarchist revolutions abroad. Anarchism is a far off goal, but a good thing to work towards.

In fact the state decided in the first place if the railway network would be a free for all for train companies or state controled. You can't just buy kilometers of land like that lol. In France the state was one of the earliest to oversee every creation of new railways and now only one company, the SNCF, which is 51% owned by the state, owns and maintains everything. We had ministries of railways in the past in order to cover the whole country in public transports and now that it's been done the responsability was issued to other ministries. It was decided very early by the state that the network would be centralized around Paris, the central power of the state.

Political ideology are such an interesting topic because that really effect our life like if we elected an leftist or and right winger the outcome will be totally different but these ideology can also be similar in there nature so it is good that we learn about them and make up our own mind

[@AA-lz4wq]

Not really, the problem with ideologies is that they are susceptible to go against an objective reality and how things actually work. Fundamental contradictions that are always ignored (generally due to the political and economic interests of ideologues themselves), for example in this video they point out that _mutual agreement in opposition to the power and force of the state_ is anarchists' ultimate goal, this IS true; However, what happens if by *mutual agreement* people decide to create a state or voluntarily submit to a body of power? (Which happened historically (and which in fact has its bases in our phylogenetic and evolutionary characteristics that drive us to organize in hierarchical structures, a reality we can hardly fight against)). This is because "agreement" and "force" are a false dichotomy, people on their own free will can seek to obtain power or submit to power, _"Sure, being responsible for my own life without having to submit to the will of another person or institution sounds great, but getting checks from the state while I'm unemployed sounds great too!!!1"," Sure, I love having the freedom to do whatever I want but I hate that the guy who lives up front does whatever he wants, hopefully there is SOMEONE with the POWER to prevent X from doing Y"._ In this sense, overthinking ideologies is a complete waste of time. Especially all collectivist ideologies, the objective reality is that all human beings (all living things in actuality) exist individually, they all have their particular interests (or gene-coded insticts) and in one way or another prioritize them. It is much more useful to try to understand the objective reality in which we live in and to find a way to work coherently within this reality, since there's little or nothing we can do to change it.

[@ZephLodwick]

I feel like the ancap video does a lot better job of explaining what anarcho-capitalists believe than this one, because it explains the anarchist argument for why private companies should substitute government. Thus, I will attempt to remedy this by the following comment: Anarcho-communism is a very similar ideology, but it just uses a different set of property norms and slightly different assumptions about human behavior. Ancapism uses lockean property, where you own a piece of land (in theory) forever if you 'mix your labour with the land', until you sell it. Anarcho-communism sees two types of property: personal property, such as your house and clothes, which you own via using it yourself; and private property, which is property that you own but have someone else work. For example, your apartment is your personal property, but it is the private property of the landlord. Ancoms view the latter as exploitative and illegitimate. They believe that all all production should be managed by the workers themselves. So, a factory, being worked upon by a number of workers, would be those workers' property and managed by the workers voting on decisions. Some anarchists even advocate for consensus decision making, which was practiced by ancient tribes. Ancoms also believe that money wouldn't exist. In an anarcho-communist society, you would be able to go into your town's shop, get whatever you wanted, and leave without having to pay for anything. Ancoms think that many of the jobs we do now contribute nothing to society and that people who did work that actually mattered would still do their jobs if they could manage them themselves. Ancoms thus think that crimes would almost never happen. Why would you steal if you could get whatever you needed for less trouble? If someone committed a crime, it's likely that he would ostracised by his community, who may even refuse to give him any food. There's also the fact that people would be well armed in an ancom society, so would likely be able to defend their property. There's also a concept in ancomism called mutual aid, which is that idea that rational self interest will cause humans to naturally cooperate for a greater good. For instance, if no one cleaned the sewers, the sewers would get clogged. Thus, it's in the rational self interest of all people in the community for someone to clean the sewers. The sewer-cleaners would also be highly valued by their peers, who may shower them with luxury gifts or build them houses in the nicest parts of town. The community would want to treat the sewer-cleaners well because if they didn't, those cleaners might just go somewhere where their services are more valuable. It is for similar reasons that neighborhood watches and defence groups would also likely form. The anarchist territory in the Russian civil war, called the free territory, had a large army of cossacks, infantry, machine guns, and even an armoured train, all without using conscription. On the subject of defence, ancaps and ancoms have very similar ideas. Those who were part of a inter-community defence force would be highly valued by communities, and would thus be given access to many luxury items and would do their best to please the community. Overall, an ancomist society would be an intersting one, one where humble soldiers and garbagemen would live in luxurious homes and dine on the finest foods in the land. You can see that this is a very similar line of thinking to ancaps' ideas about self-interest leading to a more stable society. Ancoms just extend this notion towards the health of the broader community. My main critique of anarcho-communism is that mutual aid is nice and all, but there has to be a sense of community in the first place. Different ethnic groups may have a rational incentive to cooperate, but people aren't always rational. I'd also like to mention that there is another school of anarchism called anarcho-mutualism. Anmuts agree with ancoms that private property shouldn't exist and that workers should own their workplaces, but they still think that money and free markets are the best way to provide services. Anmuts think that capitalism and free markets are two different things. According to mutualists like Benjamin Tucker, private property only exists due to state intervention in the free market and that all all private property in today's world comes from a history of theft and exploitation. Mutualists think that the insurance companies of ancapism would exist, but would be mutually owned. Such mutual insurance actually existed among workers, but the government invented wellfare so that workers would become dependent on the state and not revolt against capitalism.

[@openthinker6562]

This is very interesting. Thanks for writing this!

[@Anzei_Kazumi]

Thank you, this helps a lot in shedding light into the subject. I'm a fiction writer and often look for not-so-known political ideologies to put in my world building. This explains a lot. I have to ask though, how would an ancom community treat outsiders? Let's say in a fantasy setting, an ancom community gets a visit from a person that lived under a society that has some form of capitalism. He wants some food and would like to buy from the ancom. Would he go to a co-op, and just get the food from there? Will the ancom people allow an outsider to get food designated for 'their' people? Or maybe the ancom people keep foreign currency for this sort of situations, and just use this currency to get resources outside of the community for the community? All this thinking makes the creative juices flow.

[@kittypeanut4102]

​@@Anzei_Kazumias an ancom, the way I see it, we would give some food to that person just for kindness. But there's another option, to have that person help with some work, and then give them the food. Of course, there's the option to not give them anything, but ancom is a very kind and idealistic ideology, so I doubt the person would just be ignored.

[@theforgot3n1]

To be blunt this ideology sounds totally unrealistic. Mutual aid is a very utopian assumption which little basis in our world. And someone who is able to just go into a shop and get whatever they want would quickly lead to people abusing such a system. The example with the sewer workers is a return to supply and demand since being showered with gifts to do shitty work is the same in practice as having a higher salary. Just a tribal, non-monetary version of it.

Although I think your statement is partially correct it is a bit misleading since the entire idea of representative democracy or direct democracy is that millions of people can come together and agree on one thing. Although there will be people who will disagree with the majority decision there is still the expectation that they will acquiesce regardless of their own personal choice in favor to keep the peace of their respective democracies. What would have been a more accurate line would be "Getting 1 million people to agree on one thing is difficult. Getting 1 million people agree on one million other things is impossible." And to me that really is the failing of any form of Anarchic utopia is that it assumes that people have the time energy and brain power to constantly be ratifying agreements with everyone about everything. It's good for one big project but to allow your entire life be governed by making contracts whenever you need something from someone else is extremely exhausting. That's the whole reason why we allow representative democracies because we just don't have the time, energy and know how to plan for everything.

well that's a debate currently happening in leftist circles. Leftists are divided into hundreds of different groups all in agreement that capitalism will or should one day collapse but constantly arguing over how and what should replace it. Anarchists usually believe that wealth inequality and corporate power will continue to grow unchallenged. That issues like climate change and healthcare will only get worse and more numerous as capitalists abuse our democracy in the pursuit of the profit motive and that a revolution will come as response to the failures of liberalism. Not necessarily an anarchist revolution, not even necessarily a socialist revolution since fascism also spreads when liberalism fails. Anarchist believe that its in this revolution that they can seize power and dismantle oppressive systems. Since anarchism as an ideology is built around dismantling liberal systems of power it's impossible for it to be achieved through liberalism. It's impossible to vote for anarchy in a state, meaning that revolution is the only way for anarchism.

It is a total ridiculous waste of time and energy

[@puddleglum9179]

Anarchists dont ignore this. We know that any sufficiently wealthy/powerful centralized group or individual can become the foundation for a state. The goal of anarchism is to achieve a system of balances that leaves power and wealth too decentralized in the hands of the people for any 1 organization to rise to the top. Essentially, if a state starts to creep up, it could not expand, its victims could fight against it and most importantly, it would be in everyone's material interest to make sure it is defeated. States exists because they bribe everyone, from the lowest to the top with whatever is needed to shut them up and justify their existance. Anarchism has to do that too. Which is btw, why anarcho communism makes WWAAAAAYYYY more sense than anarcho capitalism, because in anarcho capitalism, all you would need is a single company to turn into a monopoly for a state to be born, but in anarcho communism those monopolies already exist and are democratic, so they benefit and are controlled by everyone. Anyone who would want to make a state would have to convince people to be their employees, to lose priveleges and rights for the benefit of the owners. A hard sell.

Hello I'm an anarcho-communist here. You're clearly not a part of our movement (or you're new to it) and it shows in some of the mistakes you made in your video. However It would seam that you did some homework. For this I applaud you. The passage about the railways in the Conquest of bread was my favorite passage in that book and I am glad that you read the whole passage instead of taking it out of context. Now I shall correct your mistakes. The main one is less about what you said so much as what you implied. I got the feeling that you believe anarcho-capitalism and anarcho-communism to be two sides of the same coin. This is a common misunderstanding amongst the right. Let me put it simply. If I met a Marxist-Lenninist in a bar I could see myself buying them a beer. If I met an anarcho-capitalist I would sooner find another bar. I would not piss on an anarcho-capitalist if they were on fire. We are not a part of the same movement and we do not want the same thing. As for our relationship to Marxists our differences basically boils down to the fact that we want the same thing but have two radically different ways of getting there. The abolition of class society is CENTRAL to anarchist values. I would like to note that I said ANARCHIST values and not anarcho-communist values. This is because since the first Anarchist Pierre Josef Proudhon the anarchist movement has always been anti-capitalist. Some random free market capitalist that has no ties to the anarchist movement decided to call himself an libertarian (which originally referred to social anarchists) and now rando crypto-heads believe him. The name of this Lunatic is Maury Rothbard and anyone who believes in his ideas cannot call themselves an anarchist. And as for Marx considering us his greatest enemy, this is false. Bakunin and people like him were all a part of the first international with Marx (there were likely no capitalists present as it was a socialist gathering). There were certainly some animosities between Marx and Bakunin they both wrote negatively about each others ideas. Furthermore Marx got Bakunin kicked out of the IWA. However for both Marx and for Bakunin their principal enemies were the capitalists, the monarchs, and the Liberal Republics (also religion but us leftists tend not to make a big stink about religion anymore for various reasons). For the entire history of the anarchist movement we have always stood with the working class against the capitalist class and it is going to STAY that way. Now about our ideas about property. We have this concept called personal property. It essentially means that you have to right to own something that you can justifiably claim to be using for yourself. Similarly if you and a group of people use something in common it belongs to all those people. What that essentially means is that you have the right to own your own home. Just so long as you (plural you or singular) are the one(s) using it. It however does not mean that you get to own other peoples homes and charge them rent. This is exploitation and it is wrong. It also means that the workplace belongs to the workers. But most of us also believe that decisions should be made by the people most effected by them. As an example if a factory wants to change it's production method to one that pollutes a local river. No matter how the workers vote the locals who live around that river should have to approve, this ensures that everyone has adequate agency over their lives.

BUT in an advanced and wealthy community with a certain amount of generosity, be it that of rich parents or a welfare generous state, has proven to create idle people who fail to pich in but sits idle. What is there to motivate those people to work 5 hours a day, take the equity away and give them less luxury and we are back at the conditions of anarcho capitalism.

Consequently, people are sometimes just too dumb to see any benefit in constructing something live saving for vain causes, just look at the NIMBY movement, in this comparison they'd take up a hammer to smash the dam even if the ground was flowing from under them.

[@clipboss8052]

No, the construction may have been organized by these entities. But the people built these railroads. And would you not want the satisfaction of knowing that the benefits of building your railroad is going to the benefit of your community rather than those who seek to profit off of your hard work? Even if you don't, we could build a society that instills values of cooperation & compassion while shunning (not necessarily forcing) those who act anti-social in said society. We are a social species. We benefit from being a social species. And it's not like experts just go away once the state & corporations are dismantled. We are not anti-authority. We ARE anti-coercive authority. In the matter of dam construction, we refer to the dam engineers. But while we can refer to his input and see to it that support for a dam is built, we do not consent to them placing their authority above us simply because they have more expertise. I understand what you are saying about how hard it is to represent the interests of large masses of people. But that is where decentralization comes into play. We encourage larger federations, but only to the extent that we can benefit from providing mutual aid to members of these larger federations. By keeping the power local and decentralized, I say that democracy becomes more manageable in these communities.

[@Madrigal025]

My problem with the train example is that it's one big project done by multiple companies with vast resources already available and societies don't function with just one big project at a time. As much as the agreement on how the railways where setup impressive there is always the matter of sourcing the raw materials, manufacturing the rails and train cars, the standards by which cars would be built, transportation of each individual product to their destined place for assembly, and so on and so forth. For one thing, a single person doesn't have access to that much resources nor the capabilities to produce that much at such a scale, that's why this is only possible with corporations and companies with a centralized leadership who know how to manage those resources. For another thing, as I mentioned society isn't built on one big project at a time which means a single person would need to get consent on a whole slew of things before they can ever get one big project off the ground. They need to get an agreement as to who and where they would source material, what land they could use for the project, the specifications and standards of the thing they need to make. A person would be bogged down more by the details of what he is doing more than the thing he is doing. And this is why I always see Anarcho-communism always going back to representative democracies just because a single person doesn't have enough time, energy or effort to actually govern while also having a different craft that contributes to the society. You can have referendums in place for big things, but just for the day to day management of your community, you'd need someone else to manage that in your behalf.
