"Oh you're an anarchist? Then solve literally one problem that doesn't create ten other, worse problems. Seriously, just one. Please"

imagine there is a evil capitalist who makes your fav social network unfree. and there is a anarchisticly organized fediverse that gives you a save haven from it.
- Lemmy is not anarchy. The fedivierse is not anarchy.
- Anarchy has a well defined meaning.
  This is my biggest problem with your phrasing, and I know that it just boils down to semantics - and that feels like absurd reductionism, is that "anarchisticly organized" is essentially a matter/antimatter reaction of a phrase that leaves the reader with nothing of substance.
  Now for something truly controversial:
  Capitalism is the purest form of anarchy.
Okay, but thats literally the problem with authority. Any problem it can solve can also go unchecked in creating 10 more.
- Far more with authority than anarchy
Easy
Inequality is caused by hierarchy
Remove hierarchy
Inequality is solved
- That's like saying
  Falling to your death is caused by gravity.
  Remove gravity
  Death solved.
- Brain dead take lmao you think anarchic monkeys in the jungle don't have hierarchy?

Look I'm not saying we have to switch to a total lack of hierarchy immediately. I just want us to start at the top and eat our way down and see how that affects things.

(Researchers going over ancient Internet history): Wow there must have been some SERIOUS food crisis going on from 2000-20xx! There's so much talk about cannibalism and guillotines!
- Have you seen what grocery stores are charging these days? Yeah, there's a crisis.
Just start eating at the top and reassess when everyone's full.

On Lemmy, it's more like "oh you're an anarchist? You obviously haven't read enough Lennin"

I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.
- some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast
  You're just creating this strawman because you disagree with the other side that is recommending you read about their beliefs, despite claiming that you read people you disagree with
People keep saying that about lemmy, but I haven't seen it. Maybe it is your filter bubble?
- To be fair, your instance has defederated from the 2 large tankie instances.
- Same here, these people constantly complaining about "tankies" seem to vastly outnumber the alleged tankies in my experience

Pretty sure eating billionaires and pumping their Ill gotten gains into systems that help humanity would fix most issues. Kill off any greedy fucks

Not really anarchy is it?
- Absolutely not lol.

It doesn't have to solve every problem, but it does have to result in a better world than we have now, which it won't.

This meme applies to any ideology sufficiently removed from the current state of things. Ideologies are fun, but conversations that ignore how much work is required to transition get boring after a while.

Which is why I think slowly eating our way down from the top is far more interesting and safe proposal than any pure ideology.

My house is on fire. I am gonna call firefighters.

Anachrist: First you should dismantle capitalism.

Funny, but not accurate
- Yeah it's more like:
  HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, CALL THE FIREMEN
  Anarchist: we don't need the state to solve our problems, we can do this
  BUT DUDE, MY HOU--
  Anarchist: let's get some buckets
Anarchists aren't against firefighters, though? Only the police.
- They're against the state and hierarchy in general
