Fuzzy borders are precisely what cause territory wars in the first place. You don’t seem to understand history, international politics, or much anything else about government if you think fuzzy borders can’t be fought over.
So borders are fuzzy and nobody knows where they are but you’ll know when you enter a “state” because presumably it has borders.
I love one sided borders. They’re like a one sided fence. Trippy.
Sure, and I have done that. I’ve heard/read anti-anarchist lines very, very often. I’ve also studied (among other things) anarchism, and thus it seems to me that hardly anyone here knows what they’re talking about.
Anarchists are always concerned with organizing, in a horizontalist, non-hierarchical way. It’s the only way to succeed. Jokes about anarchists and organization are just ignorant.
Well, you’ll find you’re in the state when you interact with people and see the control they live under, but you won’t know the edges of the patch of land where they do those things, partly because that will always be somewhere other than where you are interacting with the state subject.
Having a one sided border is an interesting idea.
What is the sound of one hand clapping ?
What is the tariff for one sided border crossing ?
Isn’t what we see as matter really mostly empty space anyway ? So isn’t the ground where borders are supposed to lay empty space ? And all the matter in that space is in constant motion and impossible to locate properly, and therefore a border is by nature impossible to really define ?
And who owns the space between the atoms ?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Oh, so there’s not a tax. There’s just a requirement that you work in the factory. Yes, that will be a lot more popular. Good thing your anarchy zone doesn’t have any oppressive laws like the 13th Amendment.
So they’re communal TV’s. I guess that means when a TV is built, they just give it away. So while the workers might have been forced to provide free labor, somebody still had to pay for the parts that were used to make the TV. Who did that?
And while the TV might be communal, it’s actually located in one person’s house. Who decides who gets to keep the communal TV? Being communal and all, can other people come in to your house whenever they want to watch “their” TV? Or is it only communal in theory?
Overall, I think you should have gone with the anarchy fairy. That seems more plausible.
Wonder if the verbal aggression will be modded ?
Requirement ? How about option. I’m not thinking about the sweatshops where people make your stuff.
BTW, who pays for this server ? You ?
“So while the workers might have been forced to provide free labor”
Bit like your mom was forced to cook your dinner.
Soj your anarchist zone is dependent on a foreign government to solve it’s problems. For free. Right.
So if people choose to work in factories, they must be getting paid. But there’s no money, because the employees, Chessic Sense, Tony Soprano, and everyone else stole it already. Oh, and there’s no money anyways, because the factory is just giving out TV’s for free to “community centers”.
As a Charter Member, Little Nemo does in fact pay for this server. So do you, by seeing ads.
Aren’t you so funny.
Answer me this: why has there never been a successful anarchist country?
PS. My company is still coming to dump radioactive waste in your backyard, then hightail it across the “one way border” and never come back. What are you going to do about it?
Option? How does that work? Are you saying they get paid to build TV’s? If so, where does the money to pay them come from? Or do you mean that people have the option of building TV’s for no pay? If that’s the case, you must still be waiting for that first TV to get built.
Yes, me. I pay an annual membership fee here.
Yawn, there you go again with the lazy, proves nothing, repetitive nonsense.
I use adblock. I didn’t even know there were ads.
Ah, wait, I get it - you want your money’s worth by creating something to mirror your own mentality back to you ?
In other words, this is your intellectual brothel, and you want your mental kinks satisfied ?
“Bit like your mom was forced to cook your dinner.” “Aren’t you so funny.”
Is that a sulk ?
Because anarchists don’t make countries ?
Why has there never been marmalade made from rocks ?
(emphasis added)
Between the thinking that SDMB is a place to satisfy mental kinks and your previous post (which is a serious WTF), I’m begging to think that there may be some unresolved issues here.
OK, why has there never been a successful anarchist region? Why has every de facto anarchy degenerated into a pit of hell, a la Afghanistan after the US invasion, Somalia, DROC, et al?
No, it’s more the fact that you don’t realize that almost everyone here is an adult and lives alone (or with their family). Basically, you tried to make a joke, but it was a) incorrect, b) not funny and c)insulting. Ergo, “aren’t you so funny”.
