Political Journey
->/->->/->/->///->///->

[[File:Apolit.png]] Apolitical [[File:Apolit.png]]
I sometimes say that I was born an anarchist but that's pretty much an overkill.

[[File:Apolit.png]] idk [[File:Leftunity.png]]
Still apolitical, but I was pretty concerned with social inequality in general.

[[File:Lib.png]] Liberal
At this time I got a litle bit into politics (not a lot tho) and basically I believed that a capitalist economy with some regulations on the market was a good idea.

[[File:Apolit.png]] Apolitical Again [[File:Lib.png]]
Basically I completely stopped caring about politics because I believed that it was a waste of time and it was pretty fun to see people argue because of politics while I could just sit and watch, not caring was fun. But even tho I didn't care about it, i guess I still held some liberal beliefs.

[[File:Radape.png]] Let me explain [[File:Annil.png]]
This was basically my "transition" into anarchism. I started "waking up" and realized that capitalism and the state were shit. I didn't really know what anarchism was so I just hated all politicians and was pretty hopeless. (I know radical apoliticism isn't just hating politicans and I know that anarcho-nihilism isn't just being hopeless but I guess it's the best way to represent this era)

[[File:Egocom.png]] Ego-Communism [[File:Situationalistinternationalism-icon.png]]
The concept of "communist egoism" is properly explained in The Right To Be Greedy by For Ourselves. I'm lazy so i'll just quote em: "The perspective of communist egoism is the perspective of that selfishness which desires nothing so much as other selves, of that egoism which wants nothing so much as other egos; of that greed which is greedy to love — love being the 'total appropriation' of man by man." Long story short: I'm an egoist that likes anarcho-communism.

[[File:Envi.png]] Environmentalism [[File:Aneco.png]]
Nature is something essential, in fact it's the only thing that we need. Industrialism is dumb because it destroys the only thing that we need (nature) to create a bunch of things that we don't really need. And it also reinforces work. For a great technology to come alive a bunch of people have to WORK for it (at least in most of the cases). I'm not opposed to all technology, but I do think a lot of technology is more harmful than it is beneficial. If you can produce technology without fucking up nature and without work then I generally think it's a great idea. Also I'm not a primitivist because I think agriculture is a great thing if it's done correctly (horticulture blah blah blah).

[[File:Antwork.png]] The Abolition of Work [[File:Anpostleft.png]]
Play it's probably the most interesting element of human mind. It's incredible how we can create beautiful things with the only motivation of our own ego. Capitalists normally completely misinterpret the concept of play. A common conception is that play is what is done in our free time but that's crearly just not true. What it's done in our free time is actually leisure, wich is a form to regenarate the damage taken from work. A lot of capitalists also alienate the power from the individual and direct it to - an abstract concept - "the market", wich is something to be laughed at. They believe that the market creates the wealth (a "wealth" that a lot of times is completely unnecessary and superfluous) and they subjugate the individuals that sold their lives for the creation of this "wealth" for the great repayment of "staying alive". That's why I believe in the abolition of work and it's replacement by the concept of play through communism. Through communism or socialism people wouldn't have to work and would have the time to actually pursuit their happiness and help eachother on the way. An expression that can be used to replace the word 'play' is 'mutual aid'. Play is mutual aid (socialism), work is enslavement (capitalism). This two things are basically opposites.

Cool
(//) - I don't know much about Post-Marxism but Anarcho-Individualism and Post-Modernism are dope. (//) - Even tho you're a bit too statist for my liking Anti-Authoritarianism, Co-ops and Georgism are great and you seem cool.
