I have recently found myself in debates about the fedipact and corporate influence. The fact that fedipact exists and I had the counter arguments and participants handy, was great. But there is more evil out there, mostly hierarchical thinking (up to speciecism imo) which leads to consumerism, destruction of our climate and more.

Imo, the rise of corporate control and surveilance (-capitalism) gives both power to autocracy (bc corporations are autocracies which influence people around them into thinking its fine) and facilitates loss of empathy for fellow humans and other living creatures.

So I began searching if there is a movement which is just anti corporate. The only one I found was occupy but it hasnt made any news for years. No big deal I thought since it has been around since 1920 so it might come back.

The wikipedia article shows occupy as having no hierarchical structure so it reminded me of anarchism in a way. Since my last post over in .ml was deleted by a mod, I hope I have shown why this is in fact an anarchism topic.

Feel free to disagree or elaborate, I'm here to learn.

Thanks for reading and have a good one.

Look at what is happening in argentina right now, the amount of social movements that are forming and are active, on both protest and direct action is something that Americans have never seen in their republic history.

I really appreciate you mentioning this. I‘ll read up about it. Thanks!

The amount of damage the US has done to their citizens, community, society and pretty much everything is staggering imo. I‘m sad for the people who live there.
