Mein kampf has historic value, /lit/ history. Banning it makes you seem like a bitter leftists who is going to sneak Capital on there at the last minute.

The votes were locked unless you gave them a Google account. All the lurkers and a lot of posters said no to that.

Various stages of autonomy. Which is a universally desired tradition found throughout history

You just described the archetypal trad society the rightwing worship.

Read something a little removed from all that

Tradition is escape from nationalism

It was decided based on the commerce clause or some shit. Their penumbra found a right to privacy written in invisible ink on the back of the constitution.

States should decide their own abortion laws, and a whole bunch of other laws, but they don't.

What is so wrong with the world? It seems quite beautiful.

Organized communities can resist. Their rule will be splintered and limited again

No, that’s just deplorable.
This is the late USA’s version of bread and circuses. One of the rings in this circus anyway.
No, you’ll find it is the inability to feed the population that collapses it.
Perennial horticultural crops are the answer to survival, but not of the state.

History is written by the victors. And the protection racket can be just as restricting or deadly sometimes.

Besieged independent communities would actually harvest their grains as quick as they could and hide in the main stronghold with the rest of them

Knights are like cops. They like the booty like any pirate, except they most often worked for a bossman. If taxes were light and everything was peaceable, why be a squeaky wheel? Yes, some peasants allowed themselves to be yolked. Duh. But the natural tendencies remain. We don’t need protection rackets, wars, and severe class divisions. It isn’t the natural way of things. This doesn’t need to be in a book. We just gravitate towards it.

Anarchists are against fascists, so the young will play around with hair dye in opposition to the shaved head boot kissers.
Uncle Ted is a good independent thinker many anarchists can include as honorary thinkers, much like Stirner or Nietzsche, or even Bookchin’s hybrid thing. It’s a far more organic idealism and can fit many different directions and facets of life. No Gods, No Masters is a good intro to the early thinkers. Graeber is also pretty inspiring fun reading. Also pic rel has a great point.

That’s like saying forests failed to cover the earth. Your deserts and urban sprawl are creeping, but you haven’t beaten us yet

I don’t buy into the genocide hysteria.
The racism/Han supremacy assimilation technique runs deeper.
Sleepy. Read more later. Like the talk.

And their various control devices, I know. Including an evil god

I thought it through, and later found that they'd existed before, numerous times, and exist now, though rare, in numerous places. It IS the natural way of life and what we flee for every time one of these “civilizations” or “societies” gather together a bunch of slaves and slavers.
It isn’t made up.

>What books should I read next?
Graeber’s Debt and this one. Scott might be a little less fun to read, but I’m getting a lot out of it

It took centuries to breed the cattle to respond that way.
The natural inclination is to be free of it though. They can unlearn it.

>>19271721
The millennia of killings are to secure slaves for the statists. The continued killing is that beast trying to keep up that tradition

>>19251734
Slaves are “inevitable” for states. Which is why we ought to crush them.

How brave of you to venture forth your own preferred historiography. (Must be the Great Man, fished out of the bin).
Hobsbawm is materialist + Annals. Perlman is the human struggle against the monster called civilization and rather spiritualist in a vague sort of way.
The contrarian view is panning out. States are fragile things best left to rot. This scares you?

The Soviet Union didn’t abandon capitalism. I remind people often enough.
But the US annexed native lands, globally, like they owned it all along. But the colonial period ended and they turned to other means already described.
As you probably already know I am against statism. (Pic)

Didn’t mean to imply. Lots to go over

The change we want to see is statelessness.
We’ve had several working models up, some old some new, so save your breath trying to tell me they don’t exist or don’t work
