capitalism’s worst enemy has been socialism, most vocally communism.
what was the counteracting -ism to feudalism during the ages? was the counteracting -ism a different one at some point?
all replies welcome, serious textwalls and unserious oneliners alike vice versa


Anarchism. It sounds scary and dangerous and insane, because you’ve been taught to casually believe it is so you shut down your brain about it and back away slowly, but it is the worst enemy of any structure that elevates one person above another. Feudalism certainly included.
It’s really about equality, and the abolishment of artificial hierarchy and leadership. But it doesn’t sound so scary like that. And the powers that be (which are all on top of said hierarchies) would prefer that you not be too interested in that.
I’m not personally an anarchist per-se, but I do believe it contains some valuable ideas and it deserves a lot more serious consideration and conversation than it gets. (cue: people immediately dogpiling about how bad and stupid it is despite never having studied it at all or been interested in it in any serious way)
Eat the rich, and shit anarchy. It may not solve the world’s problems, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t an improvement. Except for the rich, obviously. At this point, fuck them. Crooks, sociopaths, and pedophiles, the lot of them as far as I’m concerned…
Yeah I think if we are like really lucky we get a few awful years of corptocracy collapse as AGI and ASI create post scarcity and we end up with a kind of solar punk anarchy
