Anarchism

Well the modern concept of capitalism is a warped funhouse mirror of the originally envisioned economic-liberalism. Distilled down to it's worst aspects under circumstances those that originally envisioned it couldn't conceive. Much like the authoritarian socialist projects.

As individuals we all know about the limits of things and try to take care of our own immediate environments. It's why the scam of pushing recycling on to consumers but not the businesses was so popular. There's nothing wrong with recycling and those who do it. But without a duty and responsibility for business to do the same. It's just pissing in the ocean unfortunately.

But large hierarchies of power insulate people from the negative outcomes of their actions. Decoupling those concerns and short circuiting any possible checks on that destructive behavior. Leaving a purely exploitative ravenous beast.

And I don't know if hollowed out is quite the right term. But definitely projecting a false, marketable image. Groups born of outcasts and the fringe can only really exist in those conditions, and we still do. Billy Joe Armstrong is still doing his thing, despite blowing up in popular culture. With people stumbling across his politics wondering when he got political. Always. Greg Graffin while I don't think he's gotten a fraction of the recognition he should have. Doesn't care and is still staunchly doing as he always has as well. Definitely one of the most interesting geology/zoology lectures you'll ever meet. I don't think either have necessarily self identified politically. But praxis is always more informative than what someone chooses to call themselves.
