You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday.
511·2 months agoThat’s how I see this as well. It’s a shot across the bow much like the one day strike in MN.
Many people in the US have no experience participating in this sort of thing. I hope that this is a wake up call for the citizenry as much as for the corporations and oligarchs running the country.

81·2 months agoThis isn’t someone who voted for Trump waking up to reality and saying they regret it. This isn’t someone who sees the error in their ways and making amends.
This is a coward. It takes no courage to quit a race while still defending a murderer like Jonathan Ross.
Fuck this guy.
I’m going to piggy back on this comment because there are different ‘levels’ for holsters:

151·7 months agoI think it’s unfair to have troops deployed in Washington DC. They took a gamble by joining and I can empathize with that. But them complying is furthering the fascist agenda.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the first book you remember loving?
2·7 months agoBy Lloyd Alexander? If so, those were great! I remember reading those to keep me busy at my older sister’s girl scout meetings.

Manosphere is (to my understanding) Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, etc. Basically content that promotes men acting like Neanderthals. Why any percentage of women found that attractive is beyond my comprehension.

News@lemmy.world•Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations
8·1 year agoAbsolutely. My comment was just a quip/ meme, but I do worry that what you laid out is their goal.
They have indicated in Project 2025 that they plan to rollback various safety nets. Unfortunately, the US is already lacking in that.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there ever a situation where a doctor can legally refuse to render aid to someone?
31·1 year agoExcept financial harm. Oh and getting people addicted to pain killers. And over prescribing antibiotics. And…
Absolutely. The only time I see an issue with this is when someone only spams “America bad”. Yes, the government is bad, but that ignores a lot of the nuance of the situation. Similarly, people who only want to talk about how China, Russia, other colonizing power, etc is bad and refuse to understand that it isn’t the people of those places as a whole.

The same people would operate a hospital. There are already anarchists from every walk of life, so in a hypothetical post capitalist society they could continue to work together in a hospital.
As I have put forward in other comments, anarchism does not spring up overnight. It would take years of work to get to (if it ever does). They main thing is that we take responsibility for ourselves and work together in a system of mutual aid.
This all will look different in each community. In communities that are able to grow larger with many people, there will be larger hospitals with more specialized departments. In smaller communities, there may not be a hospital or it may have limited services. But that is already the case in our current system. The major difference is that people will not have to second guess going in for care for fear that they cannot afford it.
There are many obstacles to a truely anarchist society. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t work towards one. People do not lose the desire to care for others, to research, or to organize because they don’t have a government.
If you are interested in learning more, I suggest looking at the Zapatista movement in Mexico. They have built multiple hospitals and clinics since they took the region. Again, this will look different in each area as anarchism is not a one size fits all approach.
The true answer is “it depends”. Each community may be slightly different.
The main thing is that there is no state that holds a monopoly on power. This reenforces the idea that anarchism probably won’t come about from a quick revolution. It needs to be built over time and with trust and the understanding that we must work together.
An answer would be that the community uses some combination of restorative justice, therapy, arbitration, or in the worst cases exile or violence towards the offender.
It would be worth reading more about criminal justice on theanarchistlibrary.org.
Of course you can. Anarchism is not (but can be) a pacifist ideology. However, the idea is to build up strong communities and relationships with those around you. I certainly would not sit by idly if someone came to hurt me, my loved ones, etc. An anarchist society would look to extend those bonds to those you live with/ near and associate with.
Maybe I’m too Usian to understand this but the article doesn’t call out tourists from any particular country. So it’s odd to me that China is being called out so much in the comments.
