    The technology doesnt work at doing the things you think it has the potential to do. It's pure fantasy copium. You might as well be talking about the potential to genetically engineer super humans. The reality is GMO is a shitty technology used by pesticide companies to sell more pesticide. That's it. It's a technofix designed to solve problems that wouldnt even exist in the first place if it werent for capitalism - like how to grow even more fucking monoculture.

    Deriding an entire technology because of the potential for abuse is stupid

    You're acting like i'm stereotyping a minority or some shit lmfao. Technology is NOT neutral. You're just repeating a different version of the "guns dont kill people, people do" argument and it's stupid as fuck.

    That potential is THEORETICAL. None of those GMOs exist or actually work in practice. They are part of a coordinated public relations campaign to gain acceptance for the real gmos that actually exsist, which are designed purely to sell more pesticides.

    Occupy was proof that the bourgeoise are not intimidated or threatened by peaceful protests. It led to nothing and went out with a whimper.

    Riiiiight, which is why they had a massive police presence from day one, were under constant harassment by cops, and went out with a violent raid nationally coordinated by the FBI. Fuck off.

    Delegates from soviet councils had wide executive powers to obtain goods, services, and general labor. They weren’t just messengers.

    "In a system with temporary and instantly revocable delegates, workers decide on what their agenda is and what their needs are. They also mandate a temporary delegate to divulge and pursue them. The temporary delegates are elected among the workers themselves, can be instantly revoked if they betray their mandate, and are supposed to change frequently. The delegates act as messengers, carrying and interchanging the intention of the groups of workers."

    hierarchies are needed. You can’t have people choosing a different person they want to try to engineer a bridge every other day, that is anarchy.

    holy fuck what a shit take. Hierarchy is not specialization. The engineers do not have rule over the steelworkers who weld the bridge. Anarchy is not doing whatever you want jesus fucking christ.

    You're talking out of both sides of your mouth . I love how when talking about Occupy you say "They had no leadership everything came down to council meetings to make shared proclamations, and then everyone gave up and just drank and did drugs until the cops sweeped them out one night." But then in the next breath you're endorsing the "flat hierarchy" lfmao, of soviet worker councils and their delegates. "Flat heirarchy" is about as oxymoronic as "capitalist democracy." Delegates arent leaders, they're messengers. Nor are "specialists." You are talking nonsense.

    There's a reason antifa doesnt have a leader, but you probably think that's dumb.
