RE: So I encountered an Anarcho-Communist and this is my discussion/debate invitation...

in #anarchy8 years ago

Given that conclusion I drew there in an Anarcho-Communist society who decides what my abilities are and what my needs are?

I'm not sure what conclusion you are talking about, but I'll do my best to answer your question. Nobody decides what your abilities and needs are. You demonstrate your abilities by exercising them. You determine your needs in whatever ways are appropriate.

What if I think I need more, or even what if I think you are giving me too much? (yes that does happen)

If you need more of something, go get it. I'm not quite sure who is trying to give you things you don't want, but a simple "No, thank you" might do the trick.

What if I believe I have abilities that you don't even consider?

I don't understand the question. You don't need permission to exercise your abilities.

Who is this group that is allowed to dictate my needs?

I should ask you, because you are inventing it.

How do you deal with people like me who disagree? (this last one is asked towards Anarcho-Capitalists frequently as well)

What is it you're not agreeing to? And why would you be dealt with? Anarchism is based on free association. Nobody would be holding you hostage.

Thank you for responding. If you would because it is late and I need to get to sleep. @orly responded in addition to you. He explained a little more but you both are helping to clarify what "Anarcho-Communism" is. My questions were not meant to belittle, or act like a smart ass. They were the legitimate questions I had in my limited research. This BRANCH of anarchy is new to me. I will read more as I responded to @orly and likely respond tomorrow. I actually woke up... came to my computer and saw these responses. Thanks again, the two of you haven given me a lot to consider.

I appreciate the humble response. That's a good sign that we can have a productive dialogue. :)

Bacchist... I couldn't really do you justice and I fully expect you to come tearing into this like a badger. ;)
