Let's fuckin' go

Art deco was underrated

I think it's fantastic but also it has gotten a ton of praise and is fondly remembered, so adequately rated imo
Why can’t we have art deco industrial design on modern devices? Smartphones with the aesthetics of 1920s cigarette cases/makeup mirrors and such. That stuff still looks daringly modern, despite the actual use cases of the objects being obsolete to the point of being essentially alien artefacts.
I absolutely love it and the streamline industrial period that came after it. Awesome style.
I don't know what it's rating is, but it's not forgotten. I bet if you surveyed 100 people to name art styles, I am confident that well over 60% would mention art deco.
- Art nouveau, that's (also)totally awesome but quite forgotten...
New Capenna!

Can we bring back Detroit but without the racism and redlining?

Detroit is already back and fuckin rocks.
- Tell me about it? I love hearing about towns I can't visit RN
Sure!
- Awwww, I was hoping for brimmed hats and street cars :(
- I was expecting expand into Malik ; 3
First our car companies will have to build a culturally relevant car.. That has a 0% chance of happening

I don't really know what anarchosyndicalism means

well, let's start by breaking down the word.
Anarcho: without leaders
Syndicalism: a socialist economy in which the will of workers are directed through labor unions
So as a word, it means a socialist society without leaders, with an economy controlled by justified hierarchy. From what I've found in my search is that anarcho-syndicalists don't really have any major published political philosophy (I know it's out there, I just haven't found it), but it's typically taken the form of aggressive, sometimes militant methods of organizing workers. Historically, the one extreme example of their success was the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union during the Spanish revolution, which established a wartime socialist economy based on syndicalist values.
An important term I want to point out that's important to all anarchist strains of political philosophy is justified hierarchy. An extremely common misconception is that anarchists want pure chaos by destroying all of society, which couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, they are opposed to all hierarchy that cannot be justified. This includes political parties, governments, and representative democracy. Instead they believe in highly cooperative direct democracy to ensure the will of the people. This is distinct from government due to free association. With syndicalism in the mix, this means that unions direct the distribution of goods within and between communities based on free association; both communities/unions/federations cooperate for as long as both groups see it as beneficial. These unions do not have any influence on what people choose to do, in fact the union itself is a justified hierarchy with limited direct influence on their member's lives, but controlled via participatory direct democracy. that is what it means to have justified hierarchy.
- I am one, so I can shed some light. It’s a tactic more than a philosophy, much like democratic socialism, but in this case arguing that armed unions directly seizing the means of production and serving as a unifier for the working class and training ground for solidarity is the best means to move towards a stateless, classless, and leaderless (or leaderful) society. Philosophy wise we attract everyone from marxists to mutualists (I lean that way).
  There’s one major an-synd organization still around, the IWW, a radical union notable for influencing basically every radical, it’s absolutely rock stars of founders and members such as Lucy Parsons (born a slave, married a white man who died for Haymarket, proceeded to call for the homeless to kill the wealthy for decades) and James Connolly (martyred in the Easter rising), and for it being the only group willing to unionize everyone from dock workers to dick workers to freelancers to prisoners.
Syndicalism is using labor unions as a means of eventually gaining workers' control over the economy and abolishing capitalism.
- Do you still have market pricing for goods under syndicalism? I assume yes, since there’s no central government so there can’t be any central planning committee.
  How do trade disputes get settled? Heck, how do we stop environmental damage? Suppose the forest-workers union decides to just clearcut all the forests and then stockpile the wood in their warehouses to drive up the prices like a wood cartel? With no central government and no authority, I’m not clear on the means other syndicates have of resolving this.
- That only introduces new problems. Your advocating essentially for socialism as a replacement for capitalism.
  ....and socialism will never work without a central authority overseeing it.
  ....so you'll need a revolutionary war in order to wrestle control from the bourgeoisie....
  ....which will lead to massive bloodshed and economic turmoil.
  I think a more realistic approach would be to instill socialist ideals on our current capitalist system, such as salary caps, wealth taxes, inheretence tax tiers, UBI, socialized safety nets, etc. Rather than trying to redo our entire economic and governmental system.
We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.
By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
--but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
- Bloody peasant!
It’s when you and your union decide you own the place now and that if the old owners would like to keep it they’re gonna have to outgun you.
Unions (or workers syndicates) operate as the backbone of the economy. These syndicates are organized into varying levels of syndicates (national, local, etc). They then form a web like structure where they coordinate resources in a decentralized manner while also being partially centralized through central syndicates.

Ay boss, me and the folks on the line was talking. We decided that through our labor we’ve built enough equity in this place that it’s ours now. Now seeing as you work for a living like us, if you’re willing to let us hire you you can join our union and maybe even be voted back to your old job. Otherwise we’re gonna have to insist you leave because we’ve got work to do.

Who's 'we'

Me and my local union (they love the Charleston)

As an AnSynd, let's goooooo :3
