  • Oh my god watching you die is gonna be so fucking funny. I meant like making food and medicine in actual reality so people don’t physically die when systems currently doing this break down.

    You do realize that without a social structure someone will just come take your food and medicine away from you, right?

    But hey, I guess didn’t really expect someone espousing anarchy to want to learn anyway.

    Good luck friend.



  • Can you educate me about anarchists a bit? When you say survival systems, do you mean social systems? Also does anarchism intersect with libertarianism at all?

    The reason I ask is that I am building those systems, specifically server software intended to allow groups of people to found their own cooperatives as economic survival mechanisms. It’s a form of democratic socialism, so I don’t know how that squares with your world view.

    I suppose if you wanted privacy and decoupling from the dollar you could deal in monero instead, as it will have currency support. I just worry about the power consumption with crypto.





  • Or we organize our own industrial worker cooperatives and try to avoid a shooting war.

    Organize workers into a co-op, negotiate staffing agreements with the capitalists, and use the staffing margin to fund a business plan for the co-op to operate.

    And then of course, drop the staffing contracts when they’re no longer needed. Too bad so sad, find your own workers now.






    • How would you capitalize?

    There are two primary ways to raise funds for startup:

    1. Pre-incorporation dues: During the “club phase,” owners will contribute funds periodically to establish the governance and initial systems. Volunteer efforts only during the club phase.

    2. Post-incorporation labor contracts: Similar to a hiring agency, the CEO can negotiate labor contracts with other businesses with the goal of hiring out owner labor to bring in initial capital. The owner gets a paycheck and the margin goes toward capitalization of the business plan, a win/win. The percentage of the labor contract value that is paid to the owners doing the labor should be fixed by vote, and all bonus pay must be suspended while labor contracts are active since they are a funding mechanism, not a business model.

    This plan is helpful because it no longer requires workers to have the same employer just to organize a union, you can simply create your corporation independently and with whomever you like. Additionally, the larger and more specialized your co-op is, the greater your bargaining power will be.

    The startup sequence becomes:

    Server Setup >> Recruitment >> Elections >> Dues >> Incorporation (C-Corp) >> Labor Contracts >> Business Plan Implementation
