Why are you opposed to the establishment of a minimal state

Are you an anarchosocialist?
If so, how do you reconcile the antiauthoritarian ideals of anarchism with the historical authoritarian actions of socialism?
Isaiah Hernandez
A state of any form generally leads to eventual tyranny and an unfair hierarchy.
HOWEVER: minimal states can at times be accepted i.e. small self governing towns that follow a fair system with no hierarchies, or a territory with an established proletariat vote system.

lol nice one

I'm not an anarchosocialist, but I think you'd go about it by takes the base elements of Socialism that are also core elements of anarchism, for example;
My neighbour has no bread, I have too much bread, I decide to give my neighbour some bread.
That's textbook socialism (if you remove the mandated statist elements), and its also inline with the anarchist concept of Mutual Aid. There's a lot of over lap in ideas of how to help people, just gotta remove the state.

not OP but my desire for socialism (defined as collective ownership/management of the workplace) stems from my anti-authoritarianism. Being able to discuss when and how I work face to face with a small group and having a vote gives much more power and freedom then doing whatever i'm told by the owner of the workplace. Anarchists have been saying from the beginning that 'collective' ownership through government bureaucracy as advocated by marxists will lead to tyranny. Although I oppose much of what they do about the current status quo I mistrust marxists as much as you do.
> also may as well mention now that 'communism', 'socialism', 'liberalism', and 'fascism' are going to mean something different to every motherfucker who posts in this thread and we should make an effort to clarify every time we use these terms
Ethan Peterson
Big agree.
while we might have different opinion on several things, I can defiantly agree with you on collective ownership and not necessarily trusting Marxists.

I thought the red part in your star symbolized socialism though.
I'm an anarchist myself, but my personal experiences with current socialists combined with reading about how they've acted in the past, makes me very wary of them.
To me mutual aid would be an example of a voluntary social program, while enforced mutual aid mandated from the state would be an example of an involuntary socialist program.
I'm all for cooperation and treating others decently, but the way I see socialists acting, my cooperation would be mandatory and treating others decently would come down to subscribing to a strict adherence to an intersectional victim hierarchy. Adhering to this hierarchy would force me to espouse low expectations of some groups, high expectations of other groups and condemnation towards anyone who doesn't agree with painting these groups with broad strokes.
I don't want to make assumptions about anyone based on their immutable traits and that in my opinion, is what actions based on intersectional thought does.
