  • Are they truly Democratic though. Anarchism is an extreme form of democracy BTW. Not anti democratic. Coming at it from an American perspective, even many of our founding father’s figured by now we’d have majorly overhauled our governing system nearly 10 or more times. They knew their system was flawed. Instead institutional inertia has caused it to become progressively less democratic by many measures. And people turned the founders into infallible deities.

    I have less issue with those advocating to rework or abolish institutions. Than those that as a blanket say we can’t question or modify them. Criticism etc should be couched in actually making those institutions more democratic and equitable of course. Not like the economic liberals that like to pretend that they are Libertarians advocating for tax cut and end to regulations that reign in the avarice of Corporations And the wealthy.


  • You might be reading too much into this. Now if you can link to that same user praising Marxist leninism or any of the countries still based on that ideology. Then you have a hypocrisy to critique. But in the absence of that. Those are valid critiques of both Western democracy and Marxist leninist governments. And it’s probably based on their lived experience in a western democracy that they are criticizing it. I’m sure you can find many in China who would have similar criticisms about their own system.

    And just to make sure it gets said. Anarchists have no more love for the Chinese Communist Party than you do. So if you think they’re honestly using Anarchist as an attack Vector of the west. They’re going to need all the luck they can get with it.

    It was definitely different from a lot of the young adult content out at the time or since. I was a bit more meh about it. Partially because it was one of those things that was a good part about the famous actors lending their voice. And not voice actors. the animation was well done, story was well written and the acting Stars did well for the roles. But it was just also at a time when I was just kind of drifting away from Cartoon Network and even adult swim. The energy of the 90s and early auts had long been gone.

    Sure but that is the Indie space. They’ve always done their own thing. The Last Unicorn was a theatrical release with wide home video distribution as well. It’s great to see Indy’s getting more exposure and coverage these days but I’d like to see even the large more commercial offerings offering a little more along this line. Of course I’m also an irrepressible bakshi fan. So there is that too. And modern day Hollywood would never touch that


  • No I had not. I will have to check it out later. Another unusual but good children’s animated classic was recently rediscovered a few years back. A 1977 Raggedy Ann movie was scanned from an old 16 mm print I think? And put up on YouTube and good quality. The last time it had ever been released was on VHS back in the early 90s. I think it was thought lost.

    It’s simply acting as a connector. And directing traffic around Nat Etc for lay people or those who don’t want to bother with setting up and securing server software or such things. Unless of course I’m completing the two and they aren’t related. It’s possible I suppose. But I’ve used the app a couple of times. And I don’t ever remember having to sit and wait for a file upload. It was instant. Like the file being hashed and info being generated. Then slapping you with a QR code or a string to give to the person you’re sending it to Initiate the transfer

    The site isn’t hosting the file. Sure you can host your own FTP etc. But there is a lot of security risks and vulnerabilities that arise because of that. You can even host your own Magic wormhole. It’s under MIT license. Just have to open the ports Etc. It should however theoretically have a lot less attack surface than HTTP FTP and similar protocols. Nothing is invulnerable of course.
