Why do you believe in it, do you approve it in theory or also in practice? I think a lot of people approve of anarchism in theory but rejects the possibility of it to be put in practice unless we live in an utopia.. which I don't think we do, unfortunately. Maybe techno-anarchism would be more practical? Technology is such badly regulated and ordinary people are punished harsher than corporate so I really think techno-anarchism deserves a lot more attention (not saying anarchism itself doesn't) I see a lot of people here are more knowledgeable than me so don't take my word so seriously, maybe I shouldn't be expressing my idiot thoughts on it, or maybe just embrace it and ask regardless of any shame I might get.

I'm not trying to be mean to anyone, just genuinely wanted to discuss with whoever is willing to chip in on the topic.

"All is for all! If the man and the woman bear their fair share of work, they have a right to their fair share of all that is produced by all, and that share is enough to secure them well-being. No more of such vague formulas as "The right to work," or "To each the whole result of his labour." What we proclaim is The Right to Well-Being: Well-Being for All!"

We are capable of producing far more than we as individuals consume with modern technology. It's not a question of capability, it's a question of logistics, a question of messaging, and a question of how much inequity we are willing to accept.

All is for all. It took all of us to get here, everyone deserves a share of the rewards.

We actually also don't even need to eat meat nowadays, plenty of ways to fill your vitamin needs in a healthier way.. of course, it's not cheap for everyone.

of course, it's not cheap for everyone.

I've only ever seen vegetarian diets be cheaper than meat ones. Are there a significant amount of people/places for whom vegetarian/vegan diets are more expensive?

some people's lifestyles are dependent on convenience foods.

I spent my last year of college mostly eating cheap, unhealthy, and fast to make foods and most of it was vegetarian.

  • cereal
  • pbj sandwiches
  • ramen
  • breakfast bars
  • Mac and cheese
  • boiled eggs
  • oats
  • put some rice in a rice cooker and then mix it with one of these:
    • stir fry some peanuts and add some spices + lemon
    • stir fry some peanuts and add a tamarind + spice mix
    • pickle. Comes straight from the store in a jar for a variety of fruits and vegetables. Just mix it with rice and eat, no cooking involved except turning on a rice cooker. Lasts forever.
    • make egg fried rice on the rare occasion when you have more time/ are less lazy

for $1, my local gas station will serve me two hotdogs. for a hot, convenient source of calories, it's unbeatable.
