This has to be a lie. I’ve never seen a single kid educated enough to even know what anarchy is. But they’re definitely dumb enough to parrot their parents.
Nobody has any idea what anarchy is. The one tenet of the philosophy is that any time someone tries to define it in any concrete way so that it can be discussed and criticized the anarchists all come out of the woodwork to say “no, that’s not it.” They never say what it is, though, because it isn’t anything.
I can’t imagine the depths of arrogance and ignorance it requires to say that a political theory centuries in the making, with countless theorists writing lengthy tomes on the subject, has nothing to it.
I can quite easily summarise what it is, though. People self organising with no hierarchy. If you want it even simpler, anarchy is not having a ruler or leader; you can glean that just from the construction of the word, “an” (without) ,“archy” (rule), literally, “without a ruler”. There you go! I very much doubt you’ve talked to any anarchists, if you’ve never heard any say that. If you have, you certainly didn’t listen.

Just a few names for you to look into, in the field that has no consistent theory, because no one knows what it is.
Liberalism is the dominant ideology enforced by states of the world. It is the establishment, the status quo. Agreeing with it is agreeing with authority. More than that, though, liberalism requires authority to function. So to say you reject authority, yet are a liberal, makes no sense.
I used to be socialist, trending towards communist in my teenage years. But then I grew up and started understanding how actually damaging these ideologies are. I’m more like a social liberal nowadays. I believe the government must assure the basic stuff while staying away from the rest of the economy, with low regulation.
Lmao telling communism is bad is nazi propaganda? I would think saying that nazism was/is pretty bad it’s just needless to say, now communism there’s quite literally an instance dedicated to it. An ideology that killed so many.

I’ve never seen an adolescents defend capitalism. They tend to be either apolitical or anarchists.
I’ve seen a lot of college kids adamant about the invisible hand of the free market solving all problems.
The communists on Lemmy are cringe as fuck and have to make up these situations to justify their positions.
Also they’re nearly all born into wealth lol
Just drop by hexbear some time. It’s fucking hilarious to read their discussion thread, because they’re all children of software engineers and shit.
I’ve heard about them, and have no interest in dealing with them.
That’s fair
It could be a regional thing. capitalism is practically a religion in the US that parents indoctrinate their kids into.
We prime them from young ages to buy what the commercials show them
Some regions of the US.
The US is huge, it’s not all Alabama

You’ve never seen a group of adolescents punks? Have ever been outside?
Adolescent punks have zero idea what anarchy is. They just hate their dads

Actually, they have a pretty good idea of the core principle of “rejecting authority”. That’s the natural state of the adolescent already.
How you would get an adolescent to naturally align with capitalism though, is a mystery for me. Seems like shit lemmygrad would make up.
My rejection of authority is why I’m a liberal.
That makes zero sense
No, it makes total sense. What are you missing?
Liberalism is the dominant ideology enforced by states of the world. It is the establishment, the status quo. Agreeing with it is agreeing with authority. More than that, though, liberalism requires authority to function. So to say you reject authority, yet are a liberal, makes no sense.
Because we’re indoctrinated into it from birth. You have to put up active efforts to ignore or critically examine it, in order to believe differently.
Also, hating your dad isn’t rejecting authority, and rejecting authority isn’t anarchism. It’s pretty close, though.
When I was in high school it was still popular for kids to be ‘libertarians’. Right-leaning area, naturally.
Same, I’ve only ever seen them be completely oblivious
Also communist or even socialist.
Almost anything but capitalist, yes. But apperently America (USA) is different. Which also kind of makes sense.

So you never learned what socialism and communism were… you were always a lib, and you’re a lib now lmao
Quite literally studied both with a bit of depth. Communism killed a lot more people than every other ideology, and it was done on purpose.
Literal Nazi propaganda, not gonna argue with you.

Saying gobunism killed millions is LITERALLY a Nazi talking point, yes. If you truly don’t know that, just know you’ve been had lmao
