Yeah, he’s seriously 15 years old mentally. Sounds like libertarian garbled nonsense.

We all benefit from altruism. Because of one thing, technology. Let’s talk medical care for one, I have access to better healthcare than any medieval king had, actually I would say any human being has had on this earth since before 1980? 1985? Hell I don’t even know when.

Why is that? Because of medical advancements caused by scientific collaboration, which can be guided by public funding and public interests. How do you have these breakthroughs? You educate the populace and direct attention to scientific accomplishments.

Fuck anarchy, we are social species. Social democracy is the shit!

I am pretty new to politics and I align more with social democracy, but I've always being curious about anarcho communism and it isn't about losing scientific advancements or everyone for themselves. I think an anarchist would argue that these things are possible and in fact encouraged, but that they should be handled directly by the community, cutting out the middle man of the government.

Whether this could work or not is another dilemma, and one I cannot answer.
