I'll start,
What would be an anarchists solution to the “tragedy of the commons” dilemma?

The tragedy of the commons by my (admittedly rather limited) knowledge is that given some common resource parties will over utilise the resource even if it is not in their best interest.

>> No.200698  

No, the tragedy of the commons is when shared ressources are exploited to the point of exhaustion. The basic idea is that because it is not sufficient for all, it is in the individuals best interest to use as much of it as possible before anyone else does.

I would not dare say it has never happened, but the tragedy is an artificial one. It is only an issue if ressources are insufficient and individuals have no interest in preserving them for the community.

The bullshit assumption or implication is that people are too selfish to cooperate, and is a convenient excuse for paternalism and authoritarianism.

>> No.200723  

It can also be used as an argument for private ownership by individuals, since it is in the individuals interest to maintain their property.

>The "tragedy of the commons" is complete bullshit and has never happened.

Literally made my jaw drop.

The Spirit of a Dead Anarchist Burns as Hot as Petro-Bombs

Fire in the streets of Athens, Greek youth unleashed.
The concrete wasteland below their ancient city of marble,

Tenements and cinderblock apartments, cannot hold
Their dreams, their pooling blood, their exploding rage.

It is spray painted on the steps of the Acropolis,
It burns all night in the skeletons of upturned cars,

And spreads thru the stores of the gentrified streets,
The cafes that line their great boulevards.

Alexandros Grigoropoulos was shot down by police,

So /an/fags i wonder if 90% of people on here understand anarchism at all. And i think the other 10% that know a bit are middle class self righteous faggots that think they will lead a cause that will change the world. The majority of these fantasy's involve toppling a corrupt government (See V for Vendetta), this fantasy then ends with them being in charge, so is this not a contradiction to anarchism?

So i think the people on here that think they are righteous revolutionaries should realize that they will most likely not accomplish much in life let alone lead a revolution

tl;dr YOU ARE NOT V

Are there lords and rulers in Somalia? Then it is not an anarchy.

>> No.201805

>Sounds more like a wilderness to me.

Why wouldn't it be wilderness? Or at least become so with time? What is to keep people united about anything with their neighbours, much less the town down the road? Ostracize all you want, but the person who has the food owns. That means you either co-op or grow your own food, which doesn't leave much time for other things. What about building new buildings? What goes where? Who does what? If people don't take control of the situation, someone is either gonna get accidentally impaled by a two-by-four, steel girder, or have the damn thing collapsed on them from shoddy craftsmanship.

>People grouping together seems to contradict the "every man for themselves," and dominating clearly is authoritarian, not anarchistic in nature.

Its human nature, bud. Why did we create civilizations in the first place? Because it was fun? No! To survive, to dominate our area to grow food without getting killed by our enemies whether they be animals, weather, or other humans. I never once claimed that grouping together to dominate was anarchistic, but it does dominate the anarchist. Once people discover that they can get more than they need, that they can get luxury by working together under a single banner to dominate, the experiment is over.

30 Million Productive Jobs to Rebuild US Infrastructure, Industry and Agriculture: The Program to End the Economic Depression

by Webster G. Tarpley, www.tarpley.net
November 14, 2009

View/Download from scribd.com

The US and the world are gripped by a deepening economic depression. There is no recovery and no automatic business cycle which will revive the economy. This bottomless depression will worsen until policies are reformed. The depression results from deregulated and globalized financial speculation, especially the $1.5 quadrillion world derivatives bubble. The US industrial base has been gutted, and the US standard of living has fallen by almost two thirds over the last four decades. We must reverse this trend of speculation, de-industrialization, and immiseration. Current policy bails out bankers, but harms working people, industrial producers, farmers, and small business. We must defend civil society and democratic institutions from the effects of high unemployment and economic breakdown. We therefore demand:

  1. Measures to reduce speculation and minimize the burden of fictitious capital: End all bailouts of banks and financial institutions. Claw back the TARP and other public money given or lent to financiers. Abolish the notion of too big to fail; JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Wells Fargo and other Wall Street zombie banks are insolvent and must be seized by the FDIC for chapter 7 liquidation, with derivatives eliminated by triage. Re-institute the Glass-Steagall firewall to separate banks, brokerages, and insurance. Ban credit default swaps and adjustable rate mortgages. To generate revenue and discourage speculation, levy a 1% Tobin tax (securities transfer tax or trading tax) on all financial transactions including derivatives (futures, options, indices, and over the counter derivatives), stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, and commodities, especially program trading, high-frequency trading, and flash trading. Set up a 15% reserve requirement for all OTC derivatives. Use Tobin tax revenue and a revived corporate income tax to provide immediate tax relief to individuals, families, the self-employed, and small business by increasing personal exemptions and standard deductions. Stop all foreclosures on primary residences, businesses, and farms for five years or the duration of the depression, whichever lasts longer. Set a 10% maximum rate of interest on credit cards and payday loans. Re-regulate commodities markets with 100% margin requirements, position limits, and anti-speculation protections for hedgers and end users to prevent oil and gasoline price spikes. Enforce labor laws and anti-trust laws against monopolies and cartels. Restore individual chapter 11.

You are a fucking retard. FDR's policies extended the Great Depression, and we weren't out of it until WW2 created an actual demand for exported goods to Europe.

Martin Luther King did the same thing, and it didn't achieve liberation of black america as a separate entity. Malcolm X and the Black Panthers were more aggressive in gettin' shit done, and they were more effective. Not that I support the conservative/religious garbage Malcolm X spewed..

That was not even his goal. He said he wanted to be the white man's brother (sexism detected), not the black people to be a separate entity.

Repost from my inbox:

We are emailing you this as either somebody from London who attended the 2009 Anarchist Movement Conference or somebody who we know might be interested in having a London Conference in 2010.

After the success of the 2009 Anarchist Movement Conference a few of us thought we should build on what we started in 2009, and discuss the idea of holding a similar events in future. Although no countrywide conference seams possible next year we think a London Conference in late spring/ early summer will be a constructive step with a wider event in 2011.

Initiatives like Radical London and the Red & Black Co-ordination meetings in 2009 show there is a positive desire to work together in London. We hope to build on this by bringing together as many people from the London area who define themselves as anarchists and libertarians over a weekend to see how we can cooperate better. There is no preset agenda but please come along having thought about what this conference can do towards making our politics a real challenge to capitalism and the state.

So, to start of the process we have called a meeting from 7pm on the evening of Thursday 21st January to see if people support this idea; what they would like to see from such a conference; and who would be up for helping organise it. We haven’t booked a venue yet as the baby Jesus birthday seems to have got in the way and all venues (rightly) are taking a well earned rest. After the New Year we will book a venue fairly central in London and let you all know where it is. This email is just to get the ball rolling; get you all talking about the idea after slobbing out over xmas; and to ask you to keep the 21st free.
