My house is on fire. I am gonna call firefighters.

Anachrist: First you should dismantle capitalism.

Yeah it's more like:

HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE, CALL THE FIREMEN

Anarchist: we don't need the state to solve our problems, we can do this

BUT DUDE, MY HOU--

Anarchist: let's get some buckets

Is it seriously your contention that effective firefighting can't exist without a state?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, not at all. A state isn't necessary for anything

I am the anarchist in this joke

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anarchists aren't against firefighters, though? Only the police.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're against the state and hierarchy in general

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Firefighters aren't inherently hierarchical. An anarchist society would still have firefighters.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course they aren't inherently hierarchical.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn't equate to being anti-organization.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, it doesn't. In fact, anarchists, along with communists, are probably the most vocal supporters of people organising. Just not in a hierarchy.
