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.

As an anarcho-syndicalist, thank you for being serious about this.

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.

Til social democracy is anarchism

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 43 minutes ago

One thing anarchism certainly isnʻt, is a monolith.

that's... not how anarchism works. social anarchism in particular aims to create and nurture public benefit programs

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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)

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.

MLs love to talk about how anarchism can never work in the same way that libs love to talk about how communism can never work.

Getting a lot of "I'm in this meme and I don't like it" energy over here.

They just need their grain hopper filled and a scritching behind their ears.

What about to a plant alien? 👀

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 1 points 21 minutes ago

Only if I get to eat it afterwards.

Well good news, the only people that think tankies are fascists are people that believe neoliberal and fascist propaganda is only factual and can never be either exaggerated or just lied about.

'Oh sure, the CIA got caught doing and admitted to selling weapons to Iran and used the money to buy drugs from the contras in attempts to destabilize both regions, and sure they openly supported Al Qaeda financially and with training in order to destabilize the region, and sure there are literally hundreds of thousands of declassified files that tie the CIA to almost every terrorist organization in the world which would assign the majority of violent deaths since WWII solely to the US government which has been, according it its own intelligence agency, the single greatest contributor to world instability in world history, having caused far more damage than all empires and all other countries that you could ever possibly list... but you know what, they definitely wouldn't train and arm Turkish nationals to commit terror attacks across western China resulting in a nationwide crackdown that the US government would later allege is a genocide despite having plenty of evidence that it simply isn't; and you know they would never arm and train 'protestors' who violently take over several blocks of beijing causing at least twenty deaths before riot police and the army could step in and then take a photo out of context and use it as some kind of symbolic ideological attack on how awful the Chinese government is. They're just not capable of that.' - The average Lemmy liberal.
