  • My bad. I incorrectly assumed that the above terminologies were common knowledge. I should’ve provided direct links. Well, here they are:

    Difference between nations and states

    Definition of a “nation-state”

    When I talk about nations and states, I talk from the perspective of these definitions. As you can see, they’re not really synonyms. It’s not squabbling about terminologies. If we have a different understanding of what different words mean, then our logical arguments are going to look very different. I’m not saying that your definition is wrong or whatever. I’m just clarifying how I define these terms in my arguments. That way, you can understand what I mean to say.

    As for the “questions” you posed… I’m not sure exactly what answers you want me to provide. I already told you that I do believe that states need to exist. We’re in agreement there. I just don’t think that it’s healthy for society to divide itself among different nations. Seems quite a waste of mental space, resources, etc. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯



  • How about the concept of a nation itself ceases to exist? How about free movement of people, very weak states, consumer cooperatives as the only capital controlling entities who are allowed to buy labor only from worker coops? Economic democracy, competition, choice and so on?

    How about a world without kings and non consented rulers, a world where we stop wanting to conquer each other, and instead focus on conquering the limits set on us by nature? How about a world where we build a Dyson swarm, solve interplanetary, interstellar, and dare I say intergalactic travel?

    Aight imma go cry myself to sleep now








  • Wow. That’s the spirit of good faith dialog!

    You’ve provided no evidence, absolutely nothing. I highly doubt you can even define what “artificial intelligence” actually means. I define it as follows:

    “An intelligent system is any system that has a set terminal goal, and that can change its approach to achieve that terminal goal by learning from environmental stimuli.” Hence, most machine learning models qualify as AI according to this definition. The first machine learning model was created in the 20th century.

    That being said, you dehumanized me before. That’s not nice. Whatever you say actually affects the person on the other end. I hope you touch grass sometime and learn how to interact with other humans, offline or online. I’m blocking you now. Hope you better.


  • Employee owned businesses while better than capitalist owned businesses, aren’t the solution imo and the wrong thing to focus on.

    Ownership by the “working class” > ownership by the “workers”. This can be established by consumer cooperatives which sadly aren’t referenced enough.

    Ah, now if you said that worker coops must be the only institution allowed to sell labor, then I’d definitely agree.

    So basically:

    • means of production are owned by the working class through consumer coops.
    • selling labor to operate said means of production is done only by worker coops.
