I think it's okay for anarchists to support state social programs until The Revolution comes. Also: trials for alleged killers and rapists.
@OaklandElle with The Revolution, are we supposed to be just okay with the massive collateral damage, or somehow deny that it'll happen?

@chaosprime death would be preferable to continuing to live under the existing conditions. IMO, we're NOWHERE near there yet. -
@OaklandElle Yeah. But a "good revolutionary" works to make the current situation worse, not improve it, innit? Don't know how to reconcile. -
@chaosprime I don't know if I agree with that. I think it's revolutionary to try to ease the suffering/burden of as many people as possible. -
@OaklandElle This seems to be behavior associated with the dirty word "reformist"? -
@chaosprime Disagree. Because I also think that easing suffering involves building systems of support outside the existing State ones. -
@OaklandElle Ahh, okay. That's a fertile thought; revolution doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, it can be fractal. -
@chaosprime will always be finding ways outside of the state to support those who need it. -
@OaklandElle Sensible. Thanks for being part of my process of navigating countercultural semiotics. :)
