			{{li\|I=S2/Ag\|Q=618}}Oil sanctions are anarchism (Third World) / Iran cutting off oil to the United States is anarchism / A Third World country cutting off oil to the United States is a form of [[E:parallel structure (anarchism)\|parallel structure]]; this is to imply it is a form of defiantly forming [[E:the queer community (political entity)\|Communities]] in order to [[E:anti-imperialism (anarchism)\|resist a larger conquering society]], which [[E:History is the progression of moral consciousness\|has nothing to do with classes]] -> found in a comment on a video.<br/>
			it's only anarchists that say "parallel structure". Marxists always say something more specific, such as "independent working class organizations" or "permanent revolution". so I can only logically interpret this statement as saying that any time a Third World country sanctions a First World country and causes real problems it's in fact a form of anarchism.<br/>
			this sounds absurd on its face unless you know in depth what agorism is and then it actually clicks into place and you say, oh, actually the person who said that could be a {{em\|blue}} anarchist who bases everything on people forming or breaking relationships, so in that case, maybe they technically are describing a form of anarchism. charcoal anarchists won't be happy that that's a form of anarchism, but they quite literally can't control other anarchisms, so they have no real choice but to accept that it totally is a rival anarchism and anarchisms aren't inherently peaceful to each other nor each others' friends.

			{{li\|I=S2/MX\|tradition=MX onto Ag\|Q=618}}Oil sanctions are anarchism -> really... one of my few genuinely sharp insights back in {{book\|MDem}} 4.3 was understanding that "whatever this thing is" (agorism) could be transformed into a Materialist counterpart where the process of loci of resistance forming specifically through the tiny scale of sheer social connections changing was recognized, but all the Idealism was tossed out of it and it instead turned into some kind of model of [[E:international permanent revolution (non-Trotskyist)\|international permanent revolution]] or something like it where the people who would be joining up as [[E:Lattice model (meta-Marxism)\|Lattice points]] would hopefully be workers or at least Marxist theorists. I need to remember that at all times — whenever anybody fails to see geopolitics as going on at decades-long scales instead of happening at the speed of individual news items [[E:the televised will not be revolution\|that already happened before they reached you]], or proposes something stupid like "Oil sanctions are anarchism".

 here's why. the United States conceptualizes everything in terms of laws and adherence to abstract legal statements. this is why international courts supposedly make sense: if you can conceptualize an abstract legal statement applying to multiple countries, then a court can be convened and arbitrary officials in an arbitrary country can be put away. so basically, [[E:Miles Edgeworth rules the world|Miles Edgeworth rules the world]]. but in theory, there is a way to turn that around. if the United States transitioned to Deng Xiaoping Thought and formed a Communist party just to have one as opposed to in order to have any real principles, the new United States code or United States constitution could require by law that all representatives cooperate on a decision or the worst offenders will automatically be recalled, by force of the central state and not requiring any extra effort from the people. with this kind of legal foundation, it would become possible for the country to identify someone like Donald Trump who might be continuously resisting the new legal system at the time as committing crimes against the constitution and put him into an international court where he can't retreat inside his own country to get out of the charges. start appealing the very worst cases in recent history from the US supreme court up to the international court.

	I can't help but be outright angry at the fact anarchism is so popular at a time when simultaneously international courts are popular. it shows that anarchism is a contradictory belief system.<br/>		I can't help but be outright angry at the fact anarchism is so popular at a time when simultaneously international courts are popular. it shows that anarchism is a contradictory belief system.<br/>
	in one formulation anarchism says that bordered factional groups are bad. in another more modern formulation anarchism says that domination is bad. but you can't, as a particular 'borderless and uncountable' political movement, aim to get rid of bordered factional groups just for the sake of doing it, without creating domination. international courts aim to remove domination from particular countries, but they necessarily involve a country such as the United States outright exerting domination across the borders of less powerful countries because it currently has power, just to supposedly 'remove domination'. I think the lie is that bordered factional groups "are governments", the 'Stalin principle' that sovereignty {{em\|inherently}} gives a group of bureaucrats power as opposed to that happening incidentally. removing domination is closer to being a real thing, as unfortunate as it is when it sounds so abstract and the other one sounds so nearly concrete. so what you have to realize is that an army standing around China or Cuba is removing domination. domination refers to many things and you can't remove all of them at once, only a few. domination is a bit like a Rubik's cube, it's easy for one side to get mixed up when you solve the other, but that doesn't mean there isn't a complete solution.		in one formulation anarchism says that bordered factional groups are bad. in another more modern formulation anarchism says that domination is bad. but you can't, as a particular 'borderless and uncountable' political movement, aim to get rid of bordered factional groups just for the sake of doing it, without creating domination. international courts aim to remove domination from particular countries, but they necessarily involve a country such as the United States outright exerting domination across the borders of less powerful countries because it currently has power, just to supposedly 'remove domination'.

	gosh this just really makes me wonder what it would be like if {{book\|Animal Farm}} was set in Australia and also for no particular reason the characters were furries. it would make it so much more disturbing that people apparently keep them as slaves. but it would make it way easier to tell the story of Cuba where people constantly deny that the argument is over slave plantations and the Confederacy realistically extended over two whole country regions. we've had this whole argument about trying to delete slavery from history books and yet there's one part of it the Confederacy solidly won that nobody even talks about.		gosh this just really makes me wonder what it would be like if {{book\|Animal Farm}} was set in Australia and also for no particular reason the characters were furries. it would make it so much more disturbing that people apparently keep them as slaves. but it would make it way easier to tell the story of Cuba where people constantly deny that the argument is over slave plantations and the Confederacy realistically extended over two whole country regions. we've had this whole argument about trying to delete slavery from history books and yet there's one part of it the Confederacy solidly won that nobody even talks about.
