    Honest opinion about the Israeli -Palestinian conflict?

    I agree with you on that point re the leaders and the people's wishes, but stop short in agreeing with you that they want a two state solution!

    Honest opinion about the Israeli -Palestinian conflict?

    Might be a good shout to meet Palestinians and Israelis to talk to about it.

    Is this Socialism

    The trick is to keep it a small scale, but do that on a large scale :D One dude asked Benjamin Zephaniah how one could apply this idea of an egalitarian directly democratic society to a whole country like Britain. He said you don't, cos you don't think of it as a whole country you think of each...

    The answer is a communist party

    You're sure? Nah only a little. This was the same person who upon hearing about us talk about Tibet one time said "I don't care about that Muslim s***".

    Well now we know! Pakistanistan? A friend of mine in school once mistakenly referred to Palestine as 'Palistan'.

    Life in the West Bank

    It's roughest for people who live right up against the Wall, who work in Israel or Israeli-run places, and for people in Hebron.

    Revolt, why is it you have this deeply persistent habit of adding -stan to every country's name?

    Life in the West Bank

    You ain't gonna find one source that'll give you everything. I have, however, been there. As probably have some other members. Neither a prison nor a ghetto.

    The answer is a communist party

    I dunno man, I guess I see things as being more mutable than that, and the ways in which humans can organise themselves as being both more varied and flexible than you give them credit. We can rest upon that difference, I suspect.

    The answer is a communist party

    Then how does one account for the actual situations in which anarchist principles prevail in how a society is organised? Societies change. Different systems come into play at different times. There is no reason to think anything like the current system will persist in perpetuity.

    The answer is a communist party

    Well the examples illustrate different aspects of what is being talked about. Fine, but 500 years ago one would see the majority of societies tending towards monarchy. Now we move on. We continue to do so. We don't accept dictatorship and authoritarianism just because it's common, we don't...

    The answer is a communist party

    Good points. Although you do seem to have been avoiding the example of the Zapatistas. What even short-lived examples, like Rojava and Anarchist Catalonia, can show is that the system is valid. They prove the potential of its effectiveness. Now, the same argument you make here could have been...

    The answer is a communist party

    Well, no case needs be made. Anarchism is not about disorganisation. Quite the opposite, actually. An anarchist society is one which is run on democratic principles from the bottom-up - it is democratic all the way through. Local assemblies of people could then co-operate in ways they see fit...

    Oh, by second one I meant check out the Zapatistas.
  17. Kirran

    The answer is a communist party

    Well it basically comes down to the difference between grassroots, bottom-up systems, and top-down systems. OK, pick the second one then.

    The answer is a communist party

    Rojava is a good example of an alternative model. Or the Zapatistas, or Fejuve.

    The answer is a communist party

    Not always, no. By no means is it inevitable.

    The answer is a communist party

    Then how do you account for the sheer incidence of that NOT happening? E.g. most of post-Neolithic human history. Societies can and are organised in ways which rely upon grassroots democracy and organisation, rather than top-down bureaucratic or authoritarian approaches.
