RE: Why the end of the market economy is inevitable.
I'm kind of at odds with Kropotkin myself. His vision of an anarchist revolution really depends upon spontaneous order. He admits it through out the whole book.
It's a nice and quaint vision of how a communist society could come about.
My issue with it is that it isn't really realistic. It has a very romantic view that humanity will one day just be communist.
I disagree whole heartily, communism needs to be built, with plans and such.
I did really like the chapter about art, and the first chapter, but he's too romantic, too simple, economics are way more complex then they way Kropotkin envisions them.
but yes, read the book.
I dont buy into the people are bad, without bullies, bullies would take over theory.
The bullies are in charge now.
Why dont you go next door, kill your neighbor, and burn his house?
Because you think that lacks class.
The same reason nobody mugged you today.
Nobody thought it was a good idea.
Yes, idealistic, but possible.
On any given tuesday.
If we can gain the narrative.
Do you honestly think that we cant make it happen given control of the media and the minds of the masses?
That is how the bullies stay in power, and nobody likes them.
My proposal comes with free stuff.
I agree to a point. Humans are products of the material environment, the key is to change said environment.
The media is so bourgeois that communists are never going to get control over it.
Like, we have to plan for it, is all i'm saying. Just waiting for some sort of revolution to happen is just a waste of time. We've gotta build the society we want right?
"Why dont you go next door, kill your neighbor, and burn his house?"
Because I don't need to. I'm not that poverty stricken. Scarcity(artificially created by the market or otherwise) is what causes most crime. I'm not going to rob my neighbor because I have a means of survival, I can sustain myself through the market by selling my time as a commodity.
Not everyone is so lucky.
Yes, not that lucky.
Ergo, free stuff ends most crime.
Building the new makes the old obsolete.
