edit: having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems. Although I am a capitalist now, being confronted by socialists has made me aware of capitalisms deep flaws. When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind. So that’s the ideologically diversity I am talking about.
I love the outlook of lemmy, I think the design is decent and simplistic. But one thing I can’t seem to get over is the fact that almost everyone here seem to think the same politically. Why do you guys think this is?? I know this is a community of leftists foss enthusiasts but I hope everyone here is aware that it is driving many people away from adapting it.
There have been many proposals, such as a confederation of communes, but the real question is why would you even want large states? Through out history these inherently imperial states have caused nothing but suffering and war.
Even if not states, we need some form of large-scale organisation, especially when we are facing global challenges (like climate changing) that require a global response.
Looking at the response to climate change so far, I think it is safe to say that the large states have been an active hindrance. Way too much geopolitics standing in the way of coming together and jointly working on the problem.
