noun: anarchy

  1. 
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority or other controlling systems.

You can’t “no true Scotsman” an argument by just saying that two textbook-definition examples don’t apply while giving no counter examples or elaboration why.

pick one successful example of a capitalist society that isn't evolving into a fully fascist authoritarian regime.

Iceland

Bonus: Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Australia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Finland, Canada, New Zealand…

yeah, it figures that a liberal would pick a bunch of countries that are current or former fascists and US allies in a list of "successful" capitalist countries. half these countries are in the news at this very moment for curtailing their citizens rights and privacy, and the other half are colonial states with a long history of genocide.

in other words, the very definition of successful for a liberal. you and tankies have more in common than you think, bud.

lol i can tell you’re not a very successful person in real life due to a combination of arrogance and ignorance, and that bitterness has led you to a very incoherent political ideology. my condolences amigo

That is a child's understanding of anarchism. Anarchy is not Anarchism. There is nothing to "no true Scotsman" when we're talking about completely different words. Its like saying "communism is when you live in a commune".

I don't expect everyone to be well versed on 19th century philosophies but at least don't be so arrogant about your ignorance. If you want to learn more go ask the people the people at DB0.

Edit: looks like you found one and demonstrated your learning disabilities to them. Good job!

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i’m sorry your fantasy political system where everyone magically works together has zero real world examples of success.

also calling someone out for “learning disabilities” is certainly a choice, maybe if you actually had the courage to back your ideology you could move somewhere that you can use the real word you want to.

Buddy I never said I was an anarchist. I just actually know what the word means. That's why i kept directing you to DB0. Your ego and arrogance has clearly affected your ability to learn.

"Libertarian socialism" is a synonym for anarchy, in a political ideology sense; replace the latter with the former in your head when you see it and it will make much more sense.

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lmao that literally doesn’t make any sense and the fact that you can’t provide a single example of it in the real world should illustrate that fact.

Wow a government that lasted less than three years, and existed entirely in parallel with a massively violent war that had engulfed the entire country. Stunning example of a successful state.

You should get off your high horse and just try to inform yourself since you clearly have no intention of pursuing a civil conversation

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol you still haven’t answered a single question. You know you’re wrong but at least you’ve found your safe space to do so.

[–] SparrowHawk@feddit.it -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are deliberately hostile for no reason and expect people to answer you doubts, if you can call purposeful obtuseness that. You are an idiot who already decided to ignore all answers and if you're so curious you will find your own answers or be content in your impolite ignorance

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

call someone deliberately hostile

in the very next sentence call them an idiot, making you the first person in the chain to throw out personal insults

lmao

[–] SparrowHawk@feddit.it -3 points 1 month ago

You are deflecting, and if you think the only requirement to being hostile is throwing insults than you shouldn't be surprised if you get called an idiot.

People are hostile when you are hostile.

Idiot :)
