Anarchism

historically, it's not absurd. it's a return to the historical mean. it only feels absurd because people think post ww2 western prosperity is what we are suppose to have.

for most of history the nobility and wealthy and powerful controlled 99% of everything and everyone else has a existing of poverty and subsistence. the idea of a robust and large middle class is largely a product of industrialization and post ww2 order.

we are moving back into the historical norm of a subservient population who mostly exists to build the wealth of the elites with zero chance of ever obtaining any of that wealth themselves. and a lot of the tankies and other weirdos lean into this by mythologizing peasant/serf life as if it is so much better than modern middle class life. they claim they are going to bring in some utopia of utopia, but their vision ultimately will result in a highly unequal society that is more medieval than it is modern.
