During the last Presidential election, Utah’s numbers did not shift right. Historically Mormon’s vote as a block.

Emigration from other states is changing voting behavior in Utah with only 50% of the current population being LDS. Emigration might even be moving the state rightward since right radicals leave states like California for Republican states like Utah or Idaho.

A problem Mormon’s fail to understand is that they are not seen as Christian by Evangelicals. Thereby when religious purges come, Mormon’s are on the menu.

Liberals are caught up in great man theory. Project 2025 didn’t care which conservative reactionary was elected. Stop giving Trump credit for The Heritage Foundation’s work. I don’t care where monsters live. I’m down to slay them.

I criticize all camps including those of the states: Germany, USA, China, Japan and Russia. Anarchists don’t like state monopolies on violence. Your favorite state sucks. History is important.

Authorotarian right wing people believe in a natural heiraechy in which they put a public strong man at the top. His party is reactionary in directing government function. There is typically a focus on some enemy within which must be removed from society to make it pure again. This is where genocide has occurred historically.

The Socialism part of National Socialism was an appeal to the working class in Germany. A brand name may not be related to the product. I can see how some would confuse the strong man’s, “I am the state”, as public ownership of the means of production.

I have made things with my hands for which I was not paid. I even gathered the materials. I am bad at capitalism.

There are rumblings from the administration to expand gun restrictions to trans individuals for mental health reasons. The second amendment is for everyone (2A4E). Get to know neighbors and be that Militia the Founding Fathers expected for a free State. If they can take guns from trans people, they can take guns from anyone.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Fight or flight. If not afforded flight then options become limited.

A federated direct democracy with any delegation of power coming from the bottom. Supporters reserve the power to fire the delegate. Delegation of power should be allowed to rotate through the federation providing each member with experience.

Anyone can propose rules. Decisions are made via direct democracy scoped to effected parties. The goal of any decision is consensus.

Efficiency will be an issue since consensus and direct democracy require input from more people. Tools can help alleviate inefficiencies. Computers and artificial intelligence are examples of such tools. Voters would choose which tools to use.

Absolutely. Capitalism enforces a different heirarchy where power resides with owners. The owners then suppress the power of the workers.

Can we do better? I hope so.

I want to own the value I produce. Currently I sell my time to an owner. The value I produce through my work is sold by the owner. Any excess after costs goes to the owner. The owner did not work to produce the value.

Why should owners be supported by the excess value produced by workers?

If I spent the time to dump the human boss off my back, I would not turn around and give that power to a computer. Worker controlled labor puts the power in workers’ hands.

Computers can help with communication of needs, but power should stay with workers.

Star Trek is an example of a post scarcity society. I worry about persisting military rank instead of a horizontal power structure.

You caught me. I’m old, write software and regularly use Linux.

I am a worker under capitalism. The owner tells me how to work. I sell my time for money. I produce value for the owner. The owner keeps the difference between the value I produce and the money for which I sold my time. The excess value after paying for my time is kept by the owner. I have money to buy products.

I am a worker under socialism. I decide how to work with other workers. I produce value. I provide my value to those in need.

I prefer to own my time and value. I do not want to pay a state to give money to owners. I do not want to empower a state to use violence if I do not comply.

I am not sure how communism, socialism and capitalism are being used here. I am an anarchist. I would say states are bad, owners are bad, heirarchy is bad.
