Oh, they’re definitely people, just class betraying, oppressive, abusive people, who dedicate their lives to work exclusively in service of even more oppressive and abusive people, in exchange for some power to trip on.

I couldn’t give two fucks what a bastard would like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wasn’t going to engage, because lets be honest, there’s no point, but I happened to scroll past these the other day, and you’ve given me a good opportunity to use them, and others might enjoy, so:
a country that only cares about billionaires and companies
So… Both countries involved?
Homelessness doesn’t exist because of a lack of housing.
Social mobility just works in both directions, and about as often.
Yeah, no, that’s a massive streaming pile of self soothing bullshit that isn’t convincing anyone but you.
Let’s say that you have an opportunity to gain billions to fix the society from the top.
Society can not, and never will be, fixed from the top.
Nor is money the solution to our problems, if anything, it is a huge part of the cause (and why communism aspires to a moneyless society, among other things).
So even if I say I’d only accept the money if I could instantly redistribute it, as long as other billionaires, and the systems that create and uphold them, exist, my personal actions would probably make little difference in the long run, and any money I shared would end up right back in their pockets (by virtue of how capitalism works).
Thanks for the heads up.
OP - my feedback is fix this.
You’re welcome, and remember that they’re for browsing, not necessarily consuming in bulk, some of them I’ve never read the whole way through, but they provide answers to specific questions and are great for dipping in and out of.
Well, not anymore!
Hey now, mansplaining does have its uses…
I suppose you could say both are pipelines in a manner of speaking, the difference is that one is designed to target the ego and promote artificial and toxic individualism in the service of a powerful few, while the other is designed to target our natural need for community and cooperation in the service of all members of the group.
One has to be promoted artificially, dishonestly (most often by co-opting leftist ideas, see "national “socialism”), and at great cost to be effective, while the other just needs to be (unless my comrades are getting those Soros cheques I missed out on? lol).
Most people, when presented with leftist ideas with the “scary” isms removed, tend to agree with them, it is the capitalist indoctrination that makes them fear said isms. Remove the indoctrination and the systems it supports, provide people with their needs rather than hold them hostage behind a paywall, as well as providing an honest and critical education, and the left wouldn’t need a pipeline at all.
Meanwhile the right already have things their way, and yet they’re still dependent on those levels of deep manipulation to recruit to their side, because their side is shit and only serves a handful of people.
Anyway, I’m rambling, as for resources, these are unfortunately not as accessible as a graphic history, but here are some links I have saved for more general introductory material, and a couple of more topic specific articles to get you going (they’re not all from there, but in general, the anarchist library is a great resource, it can take some navigating to find what you’re after, but if nothing else, you’re guaranteed to find something interesting and informative on the way):
anarchism - a beginner’s guide
What is Communist Anarchism? Now and After: The ABC of Communist Anarchism
Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You!
And yet, here you are, making this post.
Would you be making a post giving trump props if an occasion happened where he was the broken clock that happened to be right that one time? No? Then what are you doing here? (I don’t need you response, this is something you should be asking yourself)
