Reply to comment by ziq in "something that’s been bothering me about the treatment of radical green anarchists" by ziq

Could you describe in short, what you mean by "Anarcho-settlers"? This term is new to me. Basically "Anarcho-colonists"?

Someone that ignores that people in the global south suffer to create products for them to consume and dream of an "anarchist" society where they'll continue to have all the luxuries they have now only it'll somehow be "egalitarian". When you press them on it, they just answer with some utter nonsense that amounts to "they'll want to keep mining and manufacturing our toys because anarcho-communism is good", or "we'll let them keep some of the toys after they make them for us. Equality!".

It's a lot of people who genuinely don't think about how manufactured and processed so much of their lives are. If indigenous people and people who preferred not to be in the labor system could do so without harm coming to them from the dominate class (settlers), the settlers would lose a lot of the basic priviledges they don't even know they have because someone or something else suffers.

It's wild that they don't see that, yet can spout off about all forms of other "power" theories.
