Reply to comment by fortmis in bye bye antiwork? by fortmis

Yeah my main problem with the interview was the fact it was done in the first place.

Now this is all hearsay so call me out if I am wrong, but I heard that the sub voted on the decision to do the interview, and people voted not to, then the mod in question overstepped that and decided to do it.

My understanding from discussions with a couple mods there is that this never happened, and it's either an honest mixup with WSB that took on a life of its own or a deliberate bit of disinfo from the large amount of brigaders fanning the flames and celebrating the whole ordeal

Ok, look, I'm kinda new and a bit stupid. So can you like point me in the right direction of where you are going? Cause I was under the impression that the only way to ensure equal playing field is to have direct democracies? Again I am new, so please go a bit easy on me and my ignorance.

From Ziq's essay

"Every person you ask will be at a different point on their political journey, and some anarchists will spend a lot more time thinking about labor rights, housing, migrant aid and other pressing concerns, while putting very little philosophical thought into the nature of hierarchy and all the ways it manifests itself and becomes ingrained in our lives."

Yeah that was me completely til i started reading all this. I was more focused on what we can do with the reality we live in as anarchist and not what we can do later. Thanks so much for the info
