thanks man. good luck with everything. may Thunor bless your harvest and may Sib's beauty shine upon your gardens!

I am absolutely all about that shit. every bit of it. would love to come and build a small log shed to live in and work with you guys. unfortunately we are grounded in GA til we get our money straight.

nice that sounds awesome.

very interesting. how many comrades are on site?

really now? hmmmmmmmmmmmm. we'd have to build up funds to contribute. whatcha got goin on so far?

well presumably the sciences, in an an-com society, would work just like every other organizations. the resources they need would be free to them based on their need and they could do studies, experiments, and the like for the betterment of all of us in return. in fact, I would argue that it...

depends on what you by free. anarchism does not inherently imply disorder unless said anarchist is one of those "Up the Punx" idiot teenagers (god bless em). in fact if you were to ask Peter Kropotkin or Rudolph Rocker, anarchism is all about organization. just non-hierarchal, anti-state...

hell yeah that's where we're headed if everything goes right

yeah that was the plan originally. to do helpx there. plenty of farms there. thanks for the tip. its best to know who your comrades could be in an unfamiliar place.

yeah the "cannon fodder" thing was more tongue and cheek in my head than it reads.

did you just call me a maoist? excuse me while I jump off a bridge. maybe I need to rethink my life lol

and don't get me wrong! question! question away! inhabit the cosmos and pull apart those who fail to justify their motives. I don't want to imply that I am immune to these questions. I simply don't think its relevant and I, as a simple man, a grunt, a peon, a worker, cannon fodder for leftism...

I just don't buy into arguments that are just boiled down into existential questions. sure, theres some scientific validity to questioning "morals" and whether or not the tiny little brain that I have and its many firing synapses maintains some kind of inherent authority on how the world should...

that bit about stroking your ego was reactionary. I thought by implying that what I said was funny you were attempting to be demeaning. it just kinda came off that way. if it wasn't your intention, then my bad. I don't quite have the energy to argue for collectivist thought. whether the...

funny eh? since you like suggesting reading so much I figured I'd give it a go. but that's just you stroking your ego isn't it?

read some Kropotkin

coercion constitutes wrongness because it has the potential to stunt the evolution of the human animal. humans exist to evolve like any other creature, and have evolved to a point where competition is obsolete (it occurs, but due to the nature of homo sapiens it no longer promotes evolution)...

honestly I got about 2 hours of sleep last night and I don't really feel well. and it would be quite a long post to explain why my beliefs are just fundamentally opposite to yours. so, forgive me please, I do apologize but I don't quite feel like explaining myself.

I suppose if you don't participate you would just simply function as separate from the society, and if you became a problem for those that do you might be ostracized, simply asked to leave. I would say a great deal of violence would have to be used to establish this kind of society. capitalists...

I disagree with you in this. but that's okay. its okay for us to disagree. thank you for your input.

I don't think its possible for communism to exist without violence, but definitely without forced labor. labor would be mutually agreed upon, totally cooperative, and each would produce what they feel necessary naturally without needing to be forced

#2 is interesting to me, so long as the state isn't involved. So where do you draw the line between a Township Govt and a Commune? (i read up the convo think we agree on quite a bit) that's okay man haha. within anarcho-communism as a organization of society there is no state at all. no...

thanks for your input. well, its not as simple as just communism. there are a couple different perspectives within communism. 1. statist communism - communism where the state basically functions as a stand-in for what should be the communes that run production and labor, meaning, where there...

what would you say that communism is? what's your opinion on it? have you ever witness communism in practice?

I will agree. giving mom and pop who make 40 thou a year tops before overhead is fucked up and people will notice, giving walmart a fake hunned youll just get told to go away and not have it accepted or they might arrest you if the amount is over the state law regarding shoplifting or whatever...

yeah im pretty excited for that. I love dos, it overloads my brain with chunky, ridiculous goodness, but unity will definitely run the game better without any random hangups (or at least I think so, unity isn't without its flaws)

absolutely

Chrono Trigger is in my top 5 SNES games already! also Tales of Phantasia is p good. believe it or not im barely a Final Fantasy fan and (what im about to say is pure heresy to final fantasy fans) my favorite FF game was the first MMO they had put out which I think was FFXI?

also any suggestions for adventure games would be cool. good point and clicks, text, everything

I didn't even know there was a Wasteland 2 til like 3 days ago im stoked

I would also like to throw in that Wasteland is fuckin awesome. Snake Vargus for life

also I would like to give Diablo 2 an honorary mention. replaying it currently with my wife, but its not as old as other games mentioned

ya know @Matt Derrick , I played through some stuff from gog like Neverwinter Nights back in the day and a way more recently Baldur's Date 1 but like, it was before I was a D&D fanatic, specifically a fanatic for Forgotten Realms, and I had no clue it was even associated with D&D? cuz I was a...

looking for any suggestions for classic rpgs for DOS and whatnot, or just any suggestion for old school games at all. emulators are free so its all I play. been really getting into dos games lately and ive played the Eye of the Beholder series intermittently, tried to start Menzobarrenzan but...

I definitely don't favor batoning unless I have to plow thru a big knot in a log or something and even then I would use any knife for that.

im an axe man for sure. I have an Estwing I just bought and I'm pretty happy with it, as it was cheap and as its all steel it last me a while and not break while im out in the woods and cant get a new one. came pretty sharp so I just rand a sharpener on it and it tore through wood like butter

these people and their new-fangled contraptions.

oh im not worried I was just told it was full tang before I ever even thoroughly read its description so that's what I went off of

yeah I think we did well by picking Morakniv as our first utilitarian knife purchase. Its not a huge knife or built for a decade or anything but its a sturdy little thing and better reviewed than EVERYTHING in its price range.

I have to say I'm super new to the world of knives and shit and im pretty stoked on all of it. its like picking up a can of chili when you just really really want some chili

okay I didn't even read the description honestly I just remember the price and the wife told me it was full tang. same color, sheath. I haven't truly put it to the test yet

this is what we got

show me the link youre looking at cuz the knife we got was like 13 bucks each I promise. ill find it on amazon real quick

yeah I love this knife. im not sure which morakniv it is. @syrinyx picked it out. full tang, sturdy, sharp. feels good in ma hand.

I'll agree with anarchist matt derrick here (forgive me). I will say zim has some good points though and if I was confronted by someone who knew what they were doing, more so than I, even a little bit then I would probably be fucked unless an adrenaline rush kicked in and I was faster. really...

thanks yall

oh I know the golden rule trust me. it will stay on my belt. but I just don't want to use my other knives if I have to actually use one to defend myself. they're pretty short and I don't feel secure wielding it like a weapon. also it would get taken by the pigs in the event I did have to cut...

yeah. I just want something that will hopefully be scary enough that I wont ever have to use it, but one good stroke will be enough to incapacitate. edit: idk if incapacitate is the correct word. more like almost kill but they might live till the ambuhlence shows up. something that holds an...

we got two nice little Morakniv for utility stuff but I haven't gotten anything for protection yet

yeah. also that shit where they cite the reasons for asking them to leave? like, what the fuck? im sure those were a factor but uhhhhhhhhhhh im pretty sure its because they didn't want to work or actually be a part of a commune.
