This could be a family guy gag, it fits that perfectly in tone and pace (though it’s not really relateable to a general audience.)
Being Earnest About it,
I would say that pure anarchism functions only as a philosophy of self-conduct. Honestly, I think more people understanding the communications of anarchism in that frame would do a lot of good, even if it’s not their final philosophical subscription. I treat it similar to Jesus’ teachings of tolerance, or Buddhism’s ideas of pacifism, however yielding more actionable conclusions, such as participating in anti-establishment action and mutual aid.
Actual real-world solutions require democratic deliberation within a community, though. There are some more thought-out versions of that which exist, such as Anarcho-syndicalism (conducting supply chains and a pseudo-economy through union-conducted coops broadly), but specifically thrusting forth a specific solution is both a dictation to the anarchist community as a whole, and thus somewhat antithetical to what anarchism is about; and likely to fail, since many communities would likely not be able to replicate many aspects of the template.
Anarchism is about eliminating unjust hierarchy, we can still provide services through publicly operated programs, and a mail delivery service nicely fits within many anarchist frameworks.
One thing anarchism certainly isnʻt, is a monolith.
Til social democracy is anarchism
that’s… not how anarchism works. social anarchism in particular aims to create and nurture public benefit programs
Anarcho-syndicalism still delivers mail. In theory, at least.
It becomes easier when humans don’t have the toil of physically moving the packages. My husband would build and program the robots right now if I let him. (Too afraid that he’ll overthrow society before the 4 thieves vinegar collective publishes the recipes for the medications that I need to survive)
Imagine confusing anarchism with anarchy, as an intellectual position.
Which isnʻt what happening, but some joyless wet blankets just canʻt help themselves.
That’s literally what happened. You know, like when you thought I was mistaken and commented on that. Is it only okay when you do it?
Just try an not be such a miserable killjoy. Life is hard and dark enough.
I’m just doing a meme too. Why are you being such a joyless wet blanket about it?
Like, where is the meme?
I wrote it. Dont be such a killjoy.
So… here my whole thing… these “anarchists” you’re talking about just… don’t exist. This is a strawman, meant to make tankies continue to feel superior to everyone else. Punching “down” so to speak. I don’t get it. The left SHOULD be about cooperation. The left SHOULD be about well-being for all. But tankies don’t seem to give a shit about that. They just want to punch “down”. That’s all I ever see from tankies. I never see them out helping anyone. I never see them doing anything but being terminally online in their enclaves and sending pig poop pics to people and banning people from their enclaves for actually trying to have a serious conversation. That’s literally, like, it.
So… here my whole thing… this “Linux” you’re talking about just… don’t exist. This is a strawman, meant to make users continue to feel superior to GNU+Linux users. Punching “down” so to speak. I don’t get it. Linux SHOULD be about cooperation. Linux SHOULD be about well-being for all. But users don’t seem to give a shit about that. They just want to punch “down”. That’s all I ever see from users. I never see them out helping anyone. I never see them doing anything but being terminally online in their enclaves and sending pig poop pics to people and banning people from their enclaves for actually trying to have a serious conversation. That’s literally, like, it.
Getting a lot of “I’m in this meme and I don’t like it” energy over here.
Please - enlighten me! :) (or are you gonna say “it’s not my job to educate you!”?? lol)
I’m just a passerby, and I’m not going to do any reading lists or arguments or whatever I’m just going to point something out.
There’s someone in this thread who said this (I have no desire to throw shade at this person, we’d probably be best friends IRL):

And I struggle to understand where the microchips will come from. I’d love to live in a world where a global supply chain arises that allows precision manufacturing in an anarchist way. I also wish pokemon were real and ethically possible.
That’s what this meme is about. Anarchist robots. Honestly I think typing this is probably a waste of time, just kind of an explanation of a joke that some people are trying to not understand.
I think the misunderstanding comes from conflating anarchism with anarchy. It’s the systems of control, coercion and hierarchies that people would do away with, not knowledge, machinery or the ability to organise things.
I totally get that, but I struggle to imagine a community choosing to (destructively, there’s few ways to do it) mine their nearby environment for rare metals so some other community can ship it to another community that has a massive cleanroom industrial floor in a horizontal hierarchy. It doesn’t seem achievable, and I am someone who has organized my own local folks for collective purposes.
I agree that it’s hard to imagine. To me, it’s more of a true north than something that could be achieved in the next 100 years. It’s more of a save yourself thing anyway. No ones coming to save us.
People do kind things for each other. Exchange can still exist and people will have a lot more time of their hands to help their neighbours, near and far, if they’re not being exploited all day. Things will have to be done and not everyone will want to farm their own food.
No one’s going to see it if they’re looking for it through the lenses of our current system in the same way people a few hundred years ago wouldn’t be able to imagine large scale building projects without an army of slaves.
Are… are the tankies in the room with us right now?
Fine, you don’t like the term “tankie”… ML’s if that’s better.
You can use whatever scary term you want for the phantoms who you hold responsible for all the problems in your life.
Unbridled evil is when the joke is obvious
Live a little, without humor you miss out on a lot in life
Can you make an omelette with anarchist eggs?
I mean do anarchist even lay eggs? (actually asking because idk)
I think you have to make sure you have a breed that’s been selected for egg-laying.
