    Yeah, he’s seriously 15 years old mentally. Sounds like libertarian garbled nonsense.

    We all benefit from altruism. Because of one thing, technology. Let’s talk medical care for one, I have access to better healthcare than any medieval king had, actually I would say any human being has had on this earth since before 1980? 1985? Hell I don’t even know when.

    Why is that? Because of medical advancements caused by scientific collaboration, which can be guided by public funding and public interests. How do you have these breakthroughs? You educate the populace and direct attention to scientific accomplishments.

    Fuck anarchy, we are social species. Social democracy is the shit!

      I am pretty new to politics and I align more with social democracy, but I’ve always being curious about anarcho communism and it isn’t about losing scientific advancements or everyone for themselves. I think an anarchist would argue that these things are possible and in fact encouraged, but that they should be handled directly by the community, cutting out the middle man of the government.

      Whether this could work or not is another dilemma, and one I cannot answer.

        I just don’t believe that could work at the global scale for scientific advancement. Government or not we need regulated research and technology. You need a government to do that because otherwise what would be the punishment?

        I just can’t see it working on the large scale.

          I think whatever the system we use we need to develop the technology to enable verification and proof based systems.

          whatever the system people will lie, cheat, and manipulate so none of them will work properly until we have ways of confirming claims built into all our systems from scientific research, media and technology right to politics and maybe even ever day speech.
