My understanding of Euromaidan is likely tainted, but wasn’t that a Ukrainian alignment to the European Union and not NATO? Aligning to the European Union would still be a move away from Russian influence.

A fair point.

Anarchism is the ideology. Anarchy is the implentation. Anarchism can cause less confusion in people conditioned to think anarchy is a society without law or order.

Good catch.

I agree that colonizers have harmed indigenous people, but find the argument anyone has a birth right claim to property proposterous. As Proudhon proclaimed, “Property is theft!”. I expect any revolution toward anarchy to remove property from the owning class.

I am less knowledgable than you about “land back”. How does “land back” differ from other ethno nationalist movements like “blood and soil”?

The justice system is working as intended. Working people are disenfranchised. The powerless create myths when the system can’t be criticized. We are all dumb, but power belongs to the owning class.

The dichotomy of anarchy and voting is confusing. Anarchy in context probably means lawlessness. Defining anarchy as lawlessness ignores anarchy as a political philosophy.

Roads, schools, hospitals and fire departments do not require bosses. Anarchy keeps infrastructure without bosses.

Voting puts bosses in place to make decisions. Anarchy prefers consensus building between effected parties.

People deserve to make more decisions in how their lives are run. A lack of respect for laws passed by our bosses is fitting.

Voting for bosses that make laws to chain people who can run their own school or hospital is unnecesary. Vote because it is the extent of power afforded to us now. Concurrently build better systems and power structures like anarchy.

I acknowledge the argument NATO is encircling Russia. To what extent does Ukraine differ from other actions by Russia such as Georgia in 2008? Which sorts of actions are not resistance to NATO encircling?

The ideas that domination is the goal are correct. The domination goes beyond social issues. Owing someone rent puts them in a position to dominate me. Saying the rent is the people’s rent doesn’t rationalize the domination.

Why build another party? The bourgeoisie built a new power structure under feudalism.

Prefiguration is about building new power structures within existing structures.
