I know literally nothing about him, what has he done?

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday. This feels like a glitch in the matrix 🥴

For OP: This is one possible way to handle this situation, but it’s not the only reasonable one

In Portugal, we usually just say “Cavalos” (horses)

Pferd is horse, right? What is “stärken”?

Never heard of anyone using it. Is it mostly used by technicians?

I feel that you’re are very jaded over this subject, I truly felt it was a funny situation. No judgement from me

Yes, AWS has a lot of advantages and I do believe they usually provide a reliable service, but as with all centralised services when they go down a bunch of other stuff go with them and that should be avoided. Doesn’t make all the incredible engineers currently working in AWS stupid

It’s pretty funny to argue in favour of centralised services in a decentralised platform

I feel like the definition I use for state might be somewhat different than most around here, as I would consider an administration as a state.

Even without class struggle, crimes and abused would still occur how can a copless society (with millions of members) resolve this issues? Local militias? Wouldn’t those be the “police”?

Curious to hear from you

Thank you for sharing

I’ll be honest, I don’t know enough about Cuba to know whether or not it deserves the label. I’ve seen first accounts of events supporting both views, that Cuba is on path to a society exempt from exploitation and that it’s ruled by an oppressive elite that uses the aesthetic of Marxism to fool the population.

If you have any suggestions on how to learn more I’d appreciate it.

And yes “authoritarianism” is reductive of all interactions in a political system, we agree on that

I don’t agree with equating the behaviour of fascist states and AES.

Yes both wield authority, but one’s authority is backed by a small number of people with access to great power and resources, while other’s authority is legitimised by the will of the majority

I believe that difference is critical in differentiating the two

I’m not sure I agree with your view.

Words are commonly misused but they still have meanings. In a society where the will of the majority is ignored in favour of the will of the few I think most people would agree it’s an authoritarian society, it’s usually not that black and white but every society is closer or further from authoritarian

I find it interesting the way you put it

What would a stateless society look like in your opinion? Are there any practical examples?

Wouldn’t you consider Hitler’s ideology authoritarian? Or Mussolini’s?

Although I have no formal education in the field and my profession has nothing to do with Cooperatives (aka democratic enterprises), I’ve been heavily invested in reading literature and participating in any local event I can find about the subject, so I probably know more than the average

Since I’m on this topic, if anyone speaks Portuguese and wants to learn more about it feel free to join us at !cooperativas@lemmy.pt. If you don’t speak Portuguese, you have other communities

!sidehustles@leminal.space

One of Portugal’s official languages! And AFAIK even older than modern portuguese

It’s the instance admins’ decision whether they want it or not.

Talk to your admins or move to another instance if you disagree with them

Can you follow peertube accounts from Lemmy? I tried, but even though I can find the accounts no content is displayed

Oh, I never knew Signal had such humble beginnings. I think you would be very surprised if you ever give it another shot. It’s pretty much “install an app and talk” (with the pretty stuff!]). Never heard of SimpleX, might give it a look someday. Thank you!
