And by design, if you’re not willing or able to work that much, you’ll have no safety net, so you’ll either die or at least end up homeless, and once homelessness is fully criminalized (as is happening piecemeal around the country) that means you’ll end up in prison, as a slave working that many hours anyway.
They’re actively recreating the Middle Ages, just with a somewhat different propertied class.
What you’re describing is neither platformism nor synthesis.
Platformism and synthesis are both formalized ideas that some third party(ies) will be empowered to oversee and direct an anarchistic system, with the only difference being that platformism starts by decreeing the norms that will be required, while synthesis ar least vaguely nods toward anarchism by ceding the fact that no norms will ever be universally voluntarily held, but still then goes on to posit some body given oversight over the collective, and merely stipulates that they’ll “allow” multiple viewpoints.
What you’re describing is just individual interaction, which is in fact the only thing that anarchism can be based on. Yes - if the system is truly anarchistic, you’ll be free to ally yourself with whoever you might prefer on whatever basis you might prefer, as, of necessity, will everyone else.
Platformism and synthesis are not ways in which you might choose to pursue that, but ways in which the entire process might be “organized.” They’re explicitly top-down ideas, which is exactly how and why they both fail.
They’re both authoritarian bullshit, though platformism very much more so.
Anyone who proposes that this or that thing be made a part of an anarchistic system merely demonstrates that they don’t even grasp the concept.
The necessary reality of a truly anarchistic system is that any statements regarding collective norms can only be made as ex post facto analyses of the norms most often supported and expected by the people exercising their full right to choose as they please.
Anyone who declares that some set of norms are or must be a fixed and required part of the system is still thinking in authoritarian terms, and trying to wedge their failure into a supposedly “anarchist” framework.
forced labor.
That’s the ultimate goal.
Between privatized prisons and corporate slave labor, imprisoning people has become big business, with big bribes and kickbacks paid to cooperative politicians.
It’s part of the step-by-step recreation of feudalism for the new generation of privileged nobility - you will be a serf, or you will go to the workhouse and be a slave.
As a couple of poster here are already demonstrating, they discover that western nations have lied about communist nations, but they don’t learn the more fundamental lesson that they shouldn’t trust everything a nation says. So instead of adopting a nuanced view, they just counter believing everything a western nation says with rejecting everything a western nation says and instead believing everything a communist nation says.
Every politician or industrilaist who is an active part of the US’s attempts to pretend that climate change is not real should be charged with crimes against humanity and, when convicted, should face the full and unfettered consequences due their brazen and callous evil.
