Ah, no worries! I haven't read Bakunin yet, so I'm not sure what his stance was either π

Kropotkin's rebuttal in Conquest of Bread is in chapter 12: objections. He expands on it quite a bit in section 12.3, but his conclusion is:
Take, for example, an association stipulating that each of its members should carry out the following contract: βWe undertake to give you the use of our houses, stores, streets, means of transport, schools, museums, etc., on condition that, from twenty to forty-five or fifty years of age, you consecrate four or five hours a day to some work recognized as necessary to existence. Choose yourself the producing groups which you wish to join, or organize a new group, provided that it will undertake to produce necessaries. And as for the remainder of your time, combine together with whomsoever you like, for recreation, art, or science, according to the bent of your taste.
βTwelve or fifteen hundred hours of work a year, in one of the groups producing food, clothes, or houses, or employed in public sanitation, transport, and so on, is all we ask of you. For this amount of work we guarantee to you the free use of all that these groups produce, or will produce. But if not one, of the thousands of groups of our federation, will receive you, whatever be their motive; if you are absolutely incapable of producing anything useful, or if you refuse to do it, then live like an isolated man or like an invalid. If we are rich enough to give you the necessaries of life we shall be delighted to give them to you. You are a man, and you have the right to live. But as you wish to live under special conditions, and leave the ranks, it is more than probable that you will suffer for it in your daily relations with other citizens. You will be looked upon as a ghost of bourgeois society, unless some friends of yours, discovering you to be a talent, kindly free you from all moral obligation towards society by doing all the necessary work for you.
βAnd finally, if it does not please you, go and look for other conditions elsewhere in the wide world, or else seek adherents and organize with them on novel principles. We prefer our own.β
This is what could be done in a communal society in order to turn away sluggards if they became too numerous.
How do you define the destinction? I assume you're only counting 'in' as officially recognized by the republican party, the political entity?
How we act now will determine how hard the landing is.
Frozen Bubble is a solid Puzzle Bobble clone
I go there to steal content for Lemmy, but rarely post unless its to bring attention to an important cause.
While I agree civil war is unlikely, there are paramilitary groups in the republican party, which Frontline investigated.
I could see a more minor version of The Troubles taking place.
In Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed, there are two planets in the same solar system. The one with bountiful natural resources is hyper capitalist, where as the other planet, which is mostly arid and can sometimes experience famine, is an Anarchist society out of necessity.
I think it makes a compelling case that we could become socialist without the post scarcity luxury part.
It's a good book. I'd recommend it as one of the most realistic take on an anarchist society I've seen depicted.
That sounds pretty extreme. I'd be Interested in reading that article, if you can find it.
As a massive Ross Scott fan and Stop Killing Games advocate, this was absolutely hilarious, top tier 10/10, have been fully converted and now see the light, please don't trap me in my house.
!buyitforlife@slrpnk.net has seen some recent activity, though considering how many monthly visitors it has, I'm a bit surprised it's not more active (partially my fault, I haven't posted there in quite some time).
!mealtimevideos@lemmy.world has been doing quite well thanks to @TehBamski@lemmy.world, @scientific_railroads@lemmy.world, and @FenrirIII@lemmy.world for consistently posting excellent videos! You guys rock! π
"Is it recipes?"
"A recipe to fix the world, my dear."
"Oh."
