Done with SJA. Now I am going to do my Twitch today. Someone ask me, "How do you believe the system should work?" Reminded me of An Anarchist Progamme, an essay by Errico Malatesta. I think that is a good start to answer the question. (!13+) !learnwithme about An Anarchist Progamme, Essay by Errico Malatesta | !fundraising for naztheneko & lynnaquinn | !rt | !reading
It is time again. Time for a few Anarchists and Leftists to sit and chat about whatever. Theory, Praxis, Mutual Aid, Cats, Butts, Video Games, or even Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster. It is Social Justice Alchemy. https://www.youtube.com/live/H3IYwEn4GKc?feature=share

A friend a tough question to their friends, "Are you the person you hope you'd become? Why/why not?" That got me thinking. And since I was thinking, I sat down and started typing. And typed out the following 619 words.... That is a good question. It depends on who I want to be, and it differs during different times of my life. I wanted to be an actor. And yes, I can still do acting in some regards. But I never admitted to doing it as a career, honestly, out of fear of being impoverished and homeless. Absolutely possible with what I know now about politics. More on that later. I played online poker for years and had a lot of fun during so. The dream of winning the big tournaments was always there. But then the crackdown on online poker happened in the US, and I lost my drive. I wasn't confident enough to leave home and go to Canada or elsewhere to play online poker. Plus, I have difficulty breaking out of my comfort zone sometimes. Moving out of the country or to another is scary to me. But now I am more politically active and an Anarchist. Oh, wait, the crackdown on Anarchist groups and pages has been happening on Facebook. It happens to individuals too. Both Trump and Joe Biden hates Anarchists. Oh, wait. I am a Libertarian Socialist. Yea that works. Which is often very different from the "Libertarians" most Americans meet. Understandable. They stole our word. But finally on to the point. While I love to dismantle the White Supremacist Cishetro Patriarchal Ableist Settler Colonialist Imperialist Capitalism and The State that upholds the White Supremacist Cishetro Patriarchal Ableist Settler Colonialist Imperialist Capitalism, I understand how unlikely that isn't going to happen in my lifetime. But I have to believe it is possible that can happen in my lifetime. Otherwise, my future is very bleak. With the system as it currently is, I can't see myself owning home. That I would necessarily want to, other giving housing to all of my trans friends and disabled comrades. So I will always be living in an apartment, maybe one as cheap as I can. And I can't see myself retiring anything in my lifetime, so long as there is still Capitalism around. And let's not forget about the Climate Change disaster happening in like nine years. Capitalism isn't helping with that either. So while the goal of world-wide Libertarian-Socialism and Communism is very far off, the person I want to be is someone doing what they can to work towards that. I am pretty much financially supporting two people who are both disabled and really just need a sugar parent to live comfortably in this world of Capitalism, which is inherently Ableist. I do tend to put myself in spaces where the ideas of Libertarian-Socialism is new; some folks and challenge their views on the current system. I have created a Google Doc full of charity and causes links and share it around to places so that at least eyeballs are at least seeing the links. I have been that others also share around that Google Doc in other places. And while I personally wish I could do more, I talk about local organizing and more effective direct action as opposed to voting, not saying voting isn't important, it is harm reduction but has its limits, and I talk about having a Revolution, but I don't feel like I am doing that enough or to the degree, I wish I could. But I do get reminded that I am doing plenty. I am doing a lot that others with very little spoons can't do. Or others who don't have the time and energy to achieve much other than surviving. And I personally more Liberals would be radicalized to being actually Leftists and be at least Anti-Capitalists. But I can't convert everyone, and I should recognize that.
