    lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn’t represent anarchism. Members may declare themselves anarchists, and use their own AI, but that doesn’t represent the anarchist umbrella against AI; which is by in large the majority majority.

    Also, anarchism isn’t a movement, it’s a lifestyle.

      You are linking to an anarchist source, so I assume that statement wasnt made in bad faith. Calling anarchism a lifestyle is usually done by people that despise anarchism, because they believe its just aesthetics and doing punk stuff. If you would call it a way of life, I wouldnt have the same objections.

        Do you call authoritarianism a way of life or a lifestyle?

        Anarchism proclaims choice a maxim. Free to live under no hierarchies, free to choose to style one’s life. Others need nonsubscribe. In authoritarian dictī, there are no choice than accept the oppressors’ demands. The way of life is crippled, the style subservient.

        What other ways of living do you object?

          It’s another ideology.

          What other ways of living do you object?

          I oppose ideologies that are bad like authoritarianism.

            the only difference here being the choice to practice said ideology. Anarchists can readily praxis theirs, while authoritarians, only few can praxis theirs.

      Ok just trying to understand this lifestyle. I’m all for libertarian socialism I just wonder how AI plays into it and was interested when I saw the AI banner.

        Most arguments against computer generated content is based on “IP” which anarchists reject.

        When it comes to issues of the environment, efficiency, etc., the generated content becomes more problematic. But realistically the planet isn’t being destroyed by people generated images of witches, etc. It’s mostly a lib distraction in service of capital/IP. We have much bigger problems.

          There’s a chapter on AFAQ with this exact question: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionI.html#seci1

          I.1 Isn’t libertarian socialism an oxymoron?

          In a word, no. This question is often asked by those who have come across the so-called “libertarian” right. As discussed in section A.1.3, the word “libertarian” has been used by anarchists for far longer than the pro-free market right have been using it. In fact, anarchists have been using it as a synonym for anarchist for over 150 years, since 1858. In comparison, widespread use of the term by the so-called “libertarian” right dates from the 1970s in America (with, from the 1940s onwards, limited use by a few individuals). Indeed, outside of North America “libertarian” is still essentially used as an equivalent of “anarchist” and as a shortened version of “libertarian socialist.”
