It has been proposed a few times I guess, and while Lemmy.ml seems to be not actively hostile against “us”, I would say it is very much in line with the anarchist idea to decentralize and become self-sufficient.
However so far no one seems to have stepped up to actually run such an instance, or am I overlooking something?
I personally have thought about it (I have a quirky 3 letter domain name that I would find fitting and also run my own servers), but to be honest I am not deeply embedded in the anarchist community (more of an anacho-individualist in that sense, despite being in favor of syndicalism in theory) and probably also have some other unpopular opinions in some ways. I am also a somewhat grumpy old white male not very keen on moderating community drama.
tl;dr: I think it would be cool to have something like that, but I fear that me starting (and mostly running) it would soon not be very popular and I am also hesitant having to deal with the likely hassle of running something like that.
will there be hard bans on ancaps ?
Personal opnion: yes of course. They will be welcome to find an account elsewhere, and educate themselves on anarchist (communist) principles on our servers if they will.
To be honest, some “liberal” interpretations of anarcho-capitalism make some good point, in that personal possessions should never be threatened by a higher power. The problem is anarcho-capitalists consider “personal possessions” to be anything you have a piece of paper for (property title), which is a wide interpretation that prevents any reflections for mutualizing/collectivizing.
well we would be at least two :). for me the problem I had with anarcho capitalists online was that they usually fail to see capital concentration a threat to our freedom. they believe that we get rich by doing nice things, and some are even calvinists and they thing that if one gets rich it’s because they are going to heaven.
Btw, nice post on la grève des femmes. we should have more french content here. even if not translated.
Are ancaps actually part of an intellectually rigorous arm of anarchism? I don’t know anarchism that well but it seems like the whole understanding of the intersectionality of capitalism, racism, sexism, theft of indigenous lands and other forms of oppression demolishes the idea that anarcho-capitalism could fulfill the philosophical aim of anarchism.
Basically it seems to me Angela Davis is a giant iceberg and the Titanic is anarcho-capitalism.
Yes they are pretty separate as most social anarchist refuse to have anything to do with them.
The entire story is a bit more complex, with many anarchists endorsing market based principles but not absolute property rights, but for most practical purposes the people actually endorsing anarcho-capitalism are rather right-wing liberitarians than want to sound edgy or so ;)
ancaps try to justify their name because they oppose the state. but they actually just oppose the welfare state. if you want to shine you can quote bourdieu when repeating this :)
