This has nothing to say about anarchism itself. It just assumes that coercive authority would be required for industrial medicine production and large scale agriculture. Anarchism does not mean a lack of organization, just a lack of coercion and unjust hierarchy.
i mean, i have seen many naive anarchists who think “everyone has a garden” and “hi, my favourite hobby is making paracetamol in my garage!” are substitutes for organized agriculture and medical manufacturing…
mostly on social media. but then again, this is a social media post too.
I don’t deny that there’s plenty of naive anarchists around. But it’s a false conclusion that anarchism itself would be naive because of that.
You can be an anarchist and poke fun at naive interpretations of anarchism. I don’t think you have to read “all anarchists are like these hypothetical human pets” into that joke.
Pretty much spot on for the anarchists I know in real life. And seeing the reactions on this post use hundreds of words to go “nah uh!” and blame OP for sabotaging them, makes it even better.
Excellent post
Oh, I just got a lovely nah-uh in my inbox: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/21448556
But please let’s be discreet and not upset the critters further.
Oh! I came back to check on this post two weeks later, and I see I got recognized! What a lovely gift, makes me feel seen, thank you.
