@Radical_EgoCom If there is say a capitalist company like, McDonald's, you, yourself could instead get food at food pantries, which tend to offer free or low cost food and tend to be hosted by volunteers. No money from you to the that corporations.By going there instead of capitalist places while also encouraging others to go there instead, can really really affect the bottom line of that capitalist business and other fast food businesses, without having to go to illegal means to do so. You might say Mcdonalds, or fast food is just a part of capitalism, but that's a part of capitalism that could be legally taken down, if everyone goes elsewhere. But you need collective action, which I believe is possible if are good with communicating to the people.I did acknowledge in my last post, that you can't achieve everything legally that you might advocate for. But, some of the goals you or anyone might have, can be achieved legally, and you can avoid harm to yourself, while not in all cases.First, shift people away from fast food capitalism, then next shift people away from clothing and housing capitalism. Basic needs should be collective.

@Radical_EgoCom It probably will lead to some kind of force and violence for the ultimate erasure of capitalism, as I am sure capitalist would fight to either buy food pantries out or use other means to deal with them as competition.What I proposed isn't aiming to erase it, but to make it so unneeded in peoples lives because people would self host and provide for people, through things like food pantries. That capitalism would basically be destroyed, while not actually destroyed, and if people did come together, this is something that is possible to happen in the current legal framework in your typical capitalist environment.The key is, that you would have to be good with communicating and connecting with people and getting them to make that switch.

@Radical_EgoCom in short to what I said, I agree with what you said. ^ but there are some legal methods you could use to strike it down or atleast knee cap it. Which is basically what I was saying, and people could just walk around it and it wouldn't be necessary to there lives.

@Radical_EgoCom what are some of these threats of violence, or cases where capitalists would use them, which i'm sure some of these are obvious, if you want to talk about some of those.Maybe then I could better understand where you are coming from that violence would absolutely have to get involved on ones path dismantle capitalism. as I had told you how I see it.

There is: a common confusion: between authoritarian and Libertarian CommunismI: don't blame people for: this misconception: as: communism: is known for being authoritarianAuthoritarian communism: is known for being: well: authoritarian: or: as being controlling over the peopleLibertarian communism: on the other hand: aims to remove: the entire concept: of a centralized authoritarian stateThe: means of production: would be: collectively owned: and: ideally there would: be no hierarchies kings or rulersThere are some: bad actors: who will try to: discredit communism: and try to: degrade its reputation: as if it: wasn't already bad enough If: someone tries: to make libertarian communism into something it's not: in the comments of any of my posts: they: won't be blocked but they: risk getting reported: for: spreading #misinformation: of the communism ideology If: they keep proving: to be difficult to communicate with: after a meaningful discussion: and they keep saying: the same misinformed claims about communism after I explained whatever I addressedIf you: have genuine questions or: concerns i'm: not talking about that as: I am meaning trolls and the like#anarchism #anarchycommunism #libertariancommunism #communism

@duncan_bayne Base communism, is about collaboration in a given community, society or country.You would have said community, (not necessarily the entire community, think like volunteers)build up and manage the means of production which would be collectively and publicly owned and equally excess able to all.Going from capitalism to communism, requires on community cooperation and the community should work together to stamp out authoritarians trying to take over that community.

@duncan_bayne I can't confirm that they would run aside them peacefully in the same country, but now if it was via transported goods, maybe. I would also say probably not since communism is also meant to be cashless at it's pure form which is another hurdle not for the communists, but for the capitalists.

@duncan_bayne What you are describing is authoritarian communism or authoritarian socialism. libertarian communism isn't the same as those, and hasn't been properly tried at a large scale. It was suppose to, but then the authoritarians came and ruined all of that.So lets say if capitalists were to exist in a base communist society and not an authoritarian communism one, it would be up to the community to come together as a whole to push the capitalists out or to not push them out. Communism communities are suppose to be decentralized, and community decisions can vary.This isn't authoritarianism, it's collective action.

@Radical_EgoCom advocating for better working condition or wages usually has to do with forcing the old job such as McDonald's to make changes. Workers could try to start their old buisness, or morph themselves and others to ther forms of production that may treat people better naturally.can you go in deph on some of the economic coercion?

@Radical_EgoCom Yes but this also seems to be limited to what the capitalists might own such as, who ever owns Mcdonalds. All this can be legally avoided by most people by switching to other buisenesses or other places that are not capitalism based or that strive to be as collective as they can.such as librearies, food pantries, public parks (instead of going to Disney Land) or start your own non capotalist version of some of these mentioned. If alot of people made the legal switches the capitalists would have a hard to existing if the people wouldn't want their services but rather services of other more collective options available to them.

@Radical_EgoCom @patrickco @malwaretech America is in a weird position because you have the various protection coded into law but the lawmakers are really just listening to the wealthiest few even as people elected them to work for them.They'l say anything to get your vote.

@Radical_EgoCom I just thought about how nonprofitsbamd volunteer run orgsnizations still have to relie on money to basically exist so ultamately you are right but there are still ways for ordinary people to walk around the eggshells spreaded all over capitalism.To fully dismantle it villiance might be necessary afyer all.

@Osito @Radical_EgoCom Interesting points. Although, particularly, corruption is likely to happen in any system, and it's up for advocates to advocate against these corruptions in systems, such as #capitalism #socialism, #anarchism and #communismultimately anyone and everyone have goals they want to achieve, so some of them, in order to reach these, they will use corruption when presented to them the need to for their goals.

Everyday I wake up I always wonder, are the #cops going to come after me next. As someome who aims to obey the #law the best they can (my safest way of protection from the cops..)it always feels like the #laws are basically holding me captive, like there are tv shows I want to watch again like from #Cartoonetwork right, but am not legally permited to as they never are shown again officially by the #copyright owner and doing so in other means is #illegalI want to play some #videogames without spending $60 and $70 plus paying for the online #subcriptions yearly just to play online over the internet connection I already paid for. Oh andd then there is the #microtransactionsThen, theres the times when I just dont have $100+ dolars to ride a plane or to buy a car instead of renting it. Money inflation is real.#Capitalism is so pestimistic to *everyone in it whether they just obey it or not.Its not easy for some of, the law biding people, they are just as oppressed as the ones who just despise cops.#anarchism #anarchist #capitalist #communism #communist

@Radical_EgoCom Sounds like a good plan, some question that does come to mind,Would you still post about wanting to abolishing capitalism? Just not talking to capitalists, or are you planning to just exclusively be posting about libertarian communism?how would you advocate against capitalism or authoritarianism if you don't have the debates to back up your stance that libertarian communism is a good alternative. By debating with the people that are probably pro capitalism. Maybe what you could try doing is, if it's possible, when debating one of these, try not to drag on the debates for so long, and try to get to the point. In times where you feel like you'l have to repeat yourself, again ad over again, you can try to just don't reply further and move on from that discusion.

@Radical_EgoCom Makes sense. I guess my main question was, would the echo chamber affect the posts that you post about or been posting about/boosting. regarding capitalists and authoritarian debaters,one thing you could probably do regarding capitalists and authoritarian debaters, is come up with a set of rules to how far you would consider debating with them. Like you could say, be open to debate with them but you would have rules/standards/limits you wouldn't want them to break and if they did you could then block them based off of those rules/standards..

@Radical_EgoCom Most of my life is as collective as I can get it.Mastodon, Peertube, local libraries, food pantries, and recently got a tv antenna to try decentralized tv instead of centralized tv cable and not looking back on that. (I don't really use it much but it's good to have in terms of decentralizing.)While everything isn't 100% that I listed it's headed that direction compared to what I use to use.
