    I respect anarchists, and agree with them on many things.

      Yea for sure. It seems a mix of left, anarchism, and autonomy would be the perfect solution, buy sadly that is just never gonna happen…right now at least. I’d like to think that we are just slowly advancing towards it by having these discussions. I was always more a big picture person. I’ve only recently “activated” in my old, long held, political ideals after a run in with the American criminal justice system, poverty, and addiction and I’m konda figuring out where my ideals truly fit by interacting with my peers. I find that most people on here are at least somewhat intellectual in nature, and I like that.

              I just looked at the wiki. That checks out for me for sure. I’d have to do a bit of a deeper dive to get a feel for Marxism, but overall the description sounds spot on. Thanks for pointing the way.

                  Oh i really like it actually, from the little I read. Particulary:

                  economic organisation, or mode of production, influences all other social phenomena, including broader social relations, political institutions, legal systems, cultural systems, aesthetics and ideologies. These social relations and the economic system form a base and superstructure.

                  And

                  At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production

                  I think we are at an inflection point where technology and how we interact at a societal and class level, just makes zero sense…if it ever did.
