it is not just farming land that is valuable, sometimes there are good fishing spots and etc in scarce regions. However those are far rarer situations and usually there is plenty of food for everyone, but hard times also happen and then most animals and humans practice mutual aid. There is a good book about it, by Kropotkin, called Mutual aid. It isn’t long, I listened to the audio book.
Territorial disputes where only common after agriculture in humans, because territory wasn’t as important before as mutual aid.
There is a good yt channel talking about egalitarian societies in prehistory called What is Politics
Can’t complain either? I guess you neither believe in free speech nor in right to choose not to make rich people richer against your own will. These fascistic ideas hurt everyone and saying that someone should die for simply saying them always causes more problems.
I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.
I should just die because I just want to do the work necessary and not go above and beyond to make some rich people richer for no reason or interest of my own?
I thought I replied to the main point of the argument. I can reply to those specific questions, but I don’t think that really communicates my point. It is not necessarily as bad, but it is very close. I don’t really think that most problems with Trump are comparable to killing huge population of innocent people. Most of the problems are general racism, corruption and thievery. Most articles critiquing Trump aren’t about how he rounded up a bunch of innocent people in Gaza and starved them to death. As horrible as he is, you need to see the weight of these actions by Democrates and that they can not be accepted under no circumstances. They should be addressed as a priority.
No one is saying that you don’t need to work for food to be produced, just that you shouldn’t be forced to work to pay for food, even if enough work was already done for that. We want fair share of work for everyone, not for the poor to work all the time just to get luxuries created for the rich.
Not really. If you have no capital, if you are working class, you have to make that salary right now and can’t invest or wait for your business to be profitable. It’s also a lot easier to take risks if you are rich, and have less to lose. Then it’s not really a big risk.
Might be logically weaker, but it might resonate with more people. I personally haven’t understood your last sentence. It is more valuable for people to grasp the idea you are conveying then be 100% precise.
I think it is just a lack of a popular alternative platform we can talk about important things in the society without being censored or quietly diprioritized by the algorithm.
Have you heard of co-ops?
Humans naturally practice mutual aid and are good to each other. It is hierarchical systems that make them fight for power. Humans used to collectively fight everyone who got too greedy and powerful. It is only relatively recent development of agriculture that made it possible for violent people to grow huge armies and take over less connected tribes. Hopefully Internet can make as unite together on a global scale against the powerful, instead of fighting each other based on regions we live in.
Humans used to give to those who needed, regardless of how much they contribute. That is the whole point of tribes and why we are social animals. We help each other. They did however take from those that have significantly more then others.
I don’t think that lack of voting was the problem, it was lack of direct action. You always get voting choices that both make things worse, so you have to fight outside of the voting booth. And for taxes, I shouldn’t have to give my money to the powerful rich that are running the state, but should be able to take tax from the rich that have more then others and make them share with everybody.
Hunter/gatherers worked less hours and ate better food then those working the land. But the coercion here is meant by one group making others work more then necessary so they can get richer. Just because there are difficulties in nature, doesn’t mean it’s ok for humans to make it harder for other humans.
It is not about how long you work, but is the work needed shared equally. I want to work how much it is needed to work and do my fair share. Not that someone in power should dictate how much I should work, regardless on how much work is needed.
You are assuming someone always has to be in power over someone else. Historically most communities where run without anyone in charge, but with direct democracies. It just became harder with bigger cities, because it was harder to communicate with everyone else. Perhaps we can change that with the Internet.
Yes, there is a good book about it, called “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution”.
