    Talking about centralization of power with the government shows profound misunderstanding of the underlying problem which is who controls the government and which class interests the government represents. Centralization of the government has absolutely nothing to do with that. What you’re describing is literally the way current US system functions.

      You are just going to trade one master for another. Its like the one ring, it cant be properly controlled, it has to be destroyed.

        That’s an ignorant statement because we have existing socialist states and we can see that they function very differently from capitalist ones. Meanwhile, nobody has shown a functioning alternative to having a state. Anarchists keep rejecting practical and tangible improvements to everyone’s lives while chasing dreams they have no means of realizing.

          What are the states you are referring to? North Korea? Cuba?

          The improvements you are talking about usually just make things worse.

              I dont get it, are you wanting to have a country like the ones listed? I would argue that all of those countries are not desireable to live in.

                Yes, I do want to have a country like the ones listed because it would be a vast improvement for majority of the people. If you had any empathy for others you’d want to live in a socialist country too.
