Delusions of self-confidence in their skills due to having an in-demand job. Once supply meets demand and their wages fall to the norm, tech bros won’t have that insane level of confidence in having “won” Capitalism.
This town, in fact, has more than enough room for the two of us

Yep, it tries to do the whole anticapitalist thing, but also not being a leftist power fantasy. It’s still possible to walk away with an extremely liberal message of “unchecked Capitalism bad, but checked capitalism good.” Still a good game, though.
Unfortunately not as much as you would like. There’s plenty of chances to blast corpo rats, but CEOs and whatnot? Nah. Ironically, in many endings, you accidentally reinforce the issues as people take advantage of your actions for power plays.
FOSS is a good way to convert techbros to leftism.
IP in general is a very difficult idea to support. In theory, it’s supposed to reward innovation, but in practice it results in stagnation and price gouging.
Imagine actively deciding to make shittier food, couldn’t be me
Hollow Knight, Crosscode, Hades, Dead Cells, Signalis, Dusk, Outer Wilds, Underrail, and more are all great examples of relatively modern games that kill it in the graphical department without using anything fancy.
Edit, because this is fun: Boltgun, Sea of Stars, the Bloodborne PS1 demake, Tunic, and more.
Participatory Economics, Worker councils, worker self-management, Mutual Aid, Syndicalism, etc.
It’s a form of Communism, hence Anarcho-Communism being the most “popular” form of Anarchism.
Communists typically side more with Marx over Bakunin, and believe in a state as owned and managed by the Proletariat being the best method by which to achieve the end goal of a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society.
Anarcho-Communists tend to side more with Bakunin over Marx, believing such a structure to be dangerous in and of itself, and seek more decentralized revolutionary change.
Anarchists additionally tend to believe Marx’s analysis of Capitalism is good, but disagree on methods of achieving Communism. Anarchists aren’t anti-Marx, but rather tend to be more post-Marxist.
Additionally, there are nuanced differences in Communist structures. In traditional Marxist belief, the Socialist State would build up the infrastructure for Communism before withering away and being maintained by a Communist society, whereas Anarcho-Communists tend to prefer systems of Mutual Aid, which are almost the same but just different strategy.
Useful, but not necessary. There are measures that can reasonably overcome the simpler answer of centralization.
Anarchism isn’t simplicity, it’s deceptively complex.
People with red hair would be burned, but to get to that point you have serious assumptions. That’s akin to saying “what if in a Utopia, everyone decided to kill themselves for fun?” It’s unrealistic and purely serves to derail the conversation against Democracy.
That’s just the general leftist experience. From Marxist-Leninists to Orthodox Marxists to Anarcho-Communists to Anarcho-Syndicalists to Democratic Socialists to Left Communists (ICP flavor) to Left Communists (Dutch/German flavor) to Libertarian Socialists to Market Socialists to Marxist-Leninist-Maoists to Dengists to Council Communists to everything in between, each seemingly hates the guts of the others.
Ask any one from each of these and they will all have a general “worker ownership of the Means of Production is good” base, with about a million different takes on what that actually means and what that actually looks like.
In general, I think it’s safe to say that democracy is a good thing, decentralization helps protect against Authoritarianism, and moving towards a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society is a good thing. Until then, people should learn and improve their understanding as much as possible, teach others, organize local communities and unions, and work on self-improvement.
To be fair, AnCaps are irrelevant in the US as well, the GOP and DNC swallow the vast majority of mainstream politics. Everything else meaningful is grassroots.
They’re doing the same thing now with Anarchism, hence Anarcho-Capitalism.
Tell them sharing is caring. Ez pz
