We can boycot banks that mandate android/ ios apps, we can put phones in faraday cages, we can form new cell operator companies, we can form unions and increase their political power and whilst the republican seats of power atrophy we can guide them by active participation into compassionate forms so they dont become a source of backlash. We can support companies like pinephone and librem for small handhelds if we want, we cant support risc-v, we can use gnu guix and bolster its usability to verify the validity of the software stack.

thats so funny, they cant include a steering wheel and the driver has to performatively rotate their legs :DD

Ok at least this sub isnt as bad as "memes", where you get banned for anything but leninist cultism

The soveriegnty rhetoric was always very suspect, please do trust the free software community and standards committees like with XMPP, this is where the freedom and justice lies

Its not the welfare policies its the tentacles in the global south and the violence that keeps that in place

here is berkman with makhno in a bathing suit

The statements in the last paragraph are reasonable, they are just truthful, they are not trying to divert effort towards dictatorship, just contextualise the world, it is easy to note the difference in my opinion

Not tautologically so, we can have free tech, dont give up

We absolutely need to have the freedom lever set to the max with this one, all these problems have the "dictator efficiency" crowd coming out the woodworks

yep, even going as far as to call the russian polity socialist :P

Its not inevitable, I do think that anarchist syndicalism is the best vehicle for stopping this. We can change whats cool, we can be accepting and capture the zeitgeist with interesting social relations rather than purely technological developments.

under a union seizure, the drivers can get the cars themselves to control, the office workers could maintain technological tools to keep the same level of coordination between driver and rider

And will our might be weaker? obviously not

thats so sad, ive not eaten meat for 6 years or so but i dont know how to handle this evil

I hope the eu commission withers under the rise of syndicalist unions

Oh the companies will love that stat

Also desk fans are ok, i have one pointed at me rn

The left is not statist, but i do not think it is hard to say that the anarchists would prefer the maintenance of republican elections before your petty dictatorship

In terms of talking, I think that one can forgo democracy and just take orders, but I also believe that people have a responsibility to not contribute to a labour pool ready to take orders because that leaves the system volatile to capture by a hierarchical current. But I guess you can be smart about where you take orders from and make sure you are taking them from a democratic body. And wishes of a council can be published in easily parsible formats.

What about personal desires? They will ban internal desire?
