What your genius idea is missing is that there is an already established society with a ruling class, is your plan to ask nicely? 😅

The point Engels is making is that revolution is about establishing one group authority over the already established authority. In a society where might makes right, only might can resolve it.

I like flat hardware (the ps5 shouldnt be there tho). You can stack stuff over flat hardware, they’re not akward to place, can be easily stored, easier to design, easier to machine, etc…

Now flat software is fucking mediocre and should be abolished,

Soil requires fertilizer regardless, every harvest you export nutrients out of the soil that need to be replenished. The main purpose of crop rotation is to avoid proliferetion of diseases and pests.

bennieandthez , 29 days ago

Yes they do, still it’s not sufficient enough to replenish what is needed. Agriculture is an open loop system, it requires external inputs to continue to operate. Without external inputs, agriculture turns into minery.

bennieandthez , 29 days ago

Plants compete between them for resources, sorry but its idealistic nonsense to claim that they work together.

bennieandthez , 29 days ago

There has to be a balance, we need to understand that as long as we export harvests out of the field we need to import nutrients into the field. We can’t expect plants to naturally replenish the nutrients that we unnaturally extract.

Also we need to understand that when we introduce heavy machinery into a field, we need heavy machinery to break compaction. Plants and soil organisms simply cannot naturally break the compaction caused by our unnaturally heavy machinery that is heavily concentrated in the small contact area of a tire.

Some of these dogmatic beliefs lead to “regenerative” farmers being more extractivists than the industrial farmers they demonize.

Wheat is a commodity like any other crop, and just like any other commodity, it has value. Also it’s even more profitable when its stolen since you don’t even have to invest in production costs.

The trick is that when people die under capitalism, the blame falls on a “corrupt” individual so the system is never accountable.

Do you even know how people farmed during that time? 😂 A 5ha operation needed dozens of people, they farmed by hand and horse.

5ha is 50,000 square meters. The average city block in the US is 2ha (200mx100m), to put into perspective.

A couple of things you must understand before talking about “AnCap”:

The state, in this day and age, is run by the capitalist class.

“The state is, therefore, by no means a power forced on society from without; just as little is it ’the reality of the ethical idea’, ’the image and reality of reason’, as Hegel maintains. Rather, it is a product of society at a certain stage of development; it is the admission that this society has become entangled in an insoluble contradiction with itself, that it has split into irreconcilable antagonisms which it is powerless to dispel. But in order that these antagonisms, these classes with conflicting economic interests, might not consume themselves and society in fruitless struggle, it became necessary to have a power, seemingly standing above society, that would alleviate the conflict and keep it within the bounds of ’order’; and this power, arisen out of society but placing itself above it, and alienating itself more and more from it, is the state.” - The origin of the family, private property and the state by Engels

Now to answer your questions:

Can you explain exactly why do you think that AnCap society would not have ownership ?

I didn’t say that. How would it be capitalism if the capitalist themselves didn’t exist? The characteristic of the capitalist class is that it has private ownership of production, it pockets the products of the processes of production. How is this ownership enforced? With violence, laws are made to protect these relations of production and when broken violence is used to enforce them. Who enforces this ownership? The state, through police and military.

Also can you compare that to the current system in real life?

“AnCaps” want the same society we have but without the state, in their twisted mind the state is some commie plot and must be gotten rid of.

What would happen if the state magically disappears? There would be no one to enforce private property, the capitalists would have to enforce these relations themselves by turning into some sort of warlords, imagine a world where each capitalist needs a private army to enforce their property (who would stop their army itself of taking over?), it is literally going back to the past it is comically dumb.

Another point is that AnCaps are grifters, see Milei in argentina for example. He claimed to be an AnCap but he is doing everything in its power to turn argentina into a police state run by the US!

From: nakedcapitalism.com/…/musical-chairs-in-latin-ame…

In those two months, the Milei government has signed a memorandum of understanding with the United States allowing members of the US Army Corps of Engineers to operate along the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway, including large parts of the river Plata basin, upon which roughly 80% of all Argentine exports travel. It has agreed to buy $300 million of second-hand, 40-year-old F-16 fighters from Denmark, with the help of US financing. It has also announced the establishment of a US naval base in Ushuaia, on the southern tip of Tierra de Fuego, often described as the last stop before Antarctica.

Accused of selling out his country’s sovereignty for seemingly nothing in return, Milei argued, with a straight face, that allowing the installation of a US military base in Usuahia is the greatest act of sovereignty of the past 40 years since it will strengthen Argentina’s territorial claims over the Antarctic.

They will lose either way, but they’d have less debts to paid and less things to rebuild.

Also Ukraine will benefit from denazification, the ultranationalism pushed by the ukranian nationalists only brings zero-sum situations for Ukraine and its neighbours not just Russia.

The global majority prefers multipolarity than the US hegemony, the US has spent decades destabilizing our countries while China has developed win-win respectful relationships.

The US has military bases in countries that you do not know they exist, spends more in war than the redt of the world combined and has killed exponentially more people than anyone else.

Here is how the good ol’ US of A sees our countries: youtu.be/fCZLWWD1okg?si=cFZPxH-4U-GkqOF2, just a “region” filled with “rare earth minerals”.

Not all fossil fuels are created equal. Carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy generated are twice as high for coal as for natural gas, and the air pollution impact is an order of magnitude higher. As such, reigning in coal use is a major ongoing project for China, a country where, as recently as 2007, over 80 percent of generated electricity came from coal sources. data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.COAL.ZS?locat…

In the 15-year period from 2007 to 2022, coal’s share of the power mix was reduced from 81 percent to 56 percent, (reuters.com/…/china-cut-coal-use-share-below-56-2…) putting it in the same range as Australia – a country which could and should have begun its low-carbon transition decades ago, and which has a per capita coal production figure eight times higher than China.(ourworldindata.org/grapher/coal-prod-per-capita) Various commentators have pointed out that China continues to build new coal-fired power plants; however, these are almost invariably modern, cleaner and more efficient replacements for existing plants.

In 2017, China’s National Energy Administration cancelled plans to build more than 100 coal-fired power plants, in order to divert power generation efforts into the renewable sector. This will eliminate 120 gigawatts of future coal-fired capacity. (nytimes.com/…/china-coal-power-plants-pollution.h…) Beijing closed its last coal-fired plant in 2017.(scmp.com/…/beijing-shuts-down-its-last-coal-fired…) One particularly symbolic project is a giant floating solar farm – the largest in the world – on top of a former coal mine in Anhui.(businessinsider.com/china-floating-solar-farm-coa…) Datong, China’s “coal capital” is seeking to put its coal reserves to better use: producing hydrogen for use in emissions-free hydrogen-powered vehicles and electricity storage.(…com.cn/…/WS5d6239d5a310cf3e35567b9b.html)

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian reported in July 2022 that:

By the end of last month, the share of coal-fired power in China’s installed power capacity dropped to a historic low of under 50 percent; total emissions of the coal-fired power industries reduced by nearly 90 percent over a decade; coal consumption by power generation units has been slashed, saving over 700 million tonnes of raw coal over the past decade. (www.fmprc.gov.cn/…/t20220728_10729508.html)

The drop in coal consumption has already had a noticeable impact in the big cities. The New York Times observed that, in the period from 2014 to 2018, Chinese cities cut concentrations of atmospheric fine particulates by an average of 34 percent.(nytimes.com/…/china-pollution-environment-longer-…) Beijing in the 1990s was among the most polluted cities in the world, but due to a decade-long ‘war on pollution’, its air quality index has improved by 50 percent.(…uchicago.edu/…/pollution-in-beijing-is-down-by-h…) In 2019, Beijing dropped out of the list of the 200 most-polluted cities.(reuters.com/…/beijing-set-to-exit-list-of-worlds-…) Writing in 2012, Martin Jacques talks about China having 16 of the world’s 20 worst-polluted cities. A decade later, only two Chinese cities are on the list. (hindustantimes.com/…/these-are-20-most-polluted-c…)

Although it will take China many more years to completely phase out coal, it has already announced that it will not finance any new coal-fired power plants abroad. Meanwhile, US-based analysts KJ Noh and Michael Wong note that the bulk of China’s coal plants are now “advanced supercritical or ultra-supercritical plants, which means they are much more efficient and cleaner than many of the industrial-era legacy plants of the US”.(asiatimes.com/…/china-offers-solutions-to-climate…)

While reducing its use of coal, China is rapidly becoming the first “renewable energy superpower”,(forbes.com/…/china-renewable-energy-superpower/?s…) accounting for 46 percent of new solar and wind power generating capacity in 2021.(weforum.org/…/state-of-renewable-energy-2022/) International energy analyst Tim Buckley observes that China is the world leader in “wind and solar installation, in wind and solar manufacturing, in electric vehicle production, in batteries, in hydro, in nuclear, in ground heat pumps, in grid transmission and distribution, and in green hydrogen.” In summary, “they literally lead the world in every zero-emissions technology today.”(smh.com.au/…/what-if-china-saved-the-world-and-no…)

China is responsible for around a third of global renewable energy investment, and 28 percent of its electricity is already generated from renewable sources (compared to 20 percent for the US).(grid.news/…/china-is-beating-the-us-in-clean-ener…) Out of 12.7 million jobs in the renewables industry worldwide, 42 percent (over five million) are in China.(english.news.cn/20220922/…/c.html) The Chinese government has set itself the target of getting renewable energy sources (including solar, wind, nuclear and hydropower) to 33 percent of its total energy mix by 2025.(reuters.com/…/china-says-third-electricity-will-c…)Non-fossil energy sources are set to supply 50% of China’s electric power generation by 2030.
