"Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, working 'til we fall

Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe

This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, working 'til we fall

And we all lift, and we're all adrift
Together, together
Through the cold mist, 'til we're lifeless
Together, together"
—Warframe - We All Lift Together

I've never voted for a political party, and I never will. Why should I support a system that puts profits above people's needs?

In Norway, we need a community-driven approach where resources are allocated based on what people actually need, not just to make money. We should focus on creating things for our local communities, not just for corporate profits.

If our demands aren't met, taking collective action like going on strike is the way to go. I believe in taking direct action and building strong, community-led initiatives, rather than relying on parties that don't address our basic needs.

I'm only 24, turning 25 this year, and I'm glad I found my way early on. Some people might think @nsf_iaa is just some propaganda group, but to me, they're true to anarcho-syndicalist ideas.

I might not see an anarcho-syndicalist society in my lifetime, but I'm happy to be part of it by joining @nsf_iaa. Even if they're not as big as they used to be back in the 1920s, every little bit helps in making another anarcho-syndicalist's day brighter.

I love anarcho-syndicalist ideas and I won't apologize for them. I hate how money, bosses, political parties, and hierarchical systems control our lives.

What I really want is to make things based on what people actually need, not just for profit. I'd rather create stuff for my local community, not some big company that doesn't care about us. I want to work with my union to make decisions that benefit us, not just some distant corporation.

I've never been a fan of bosses or systems where someone tells you what to do. I've never voted for a political party, and I'm not into monarchies either. And while I use money because it's necessary in our capitalist world, I've always felt weird about it. The thing is, no one knows what I need better than I do myself.

All these things are exactly what we anarchists and syndicalists are fighting against.

Anarchists, especially those aligned with anarcho-syndicalism, seek to dismantle all forms of hierarchy, to create a society where individuals and communities can organize themselves freely, particularly in workplaces and communities, without external control.

Syndicalists, especially those aligned with anarcho-syndicalism, focus on building democratic unions that let workers manage their workplaces through solidarity and mutual aid, aiming for a society where resources are distributed based on need.

In the end, it's about building a society where workers manage their own workplaces and communities through democratic unions and solidarity, free from the control of bosses and the state, and where resources are shared based on need, not profit.

Hey all, just a heads up: I'm an anarcho-syndicalist with a passion for freedom software, Debian GNU/Linux. I carry a bootable Debian USB drive with me, so if you're running Windows, you might want to keep your laptop closed around me. 😊

I'm not saying I'd ever "accidentally" wipe your Windows install with a dose of open source, but... well, actually, I'm not promising anything either.

Yes, I have political takes, talk Linux, and share LGBTQIA+ content.

Capitalism's is making me more radical, but I'm surviving in this flawed system. My mom might blame my autism or vitamin levels for my radical views, but the truth is, I'm fed up with top-down structures claiming to know what's best for me.

I'm radical because no one understands my needs better than I do. That's why I'm drawn to anarcho-syndicalism. It envisions a society built on worker-controlled unions and federations, where people collectively decide what to produce based on actual needs. It aims to replace hierarchical systems with democratic, bottom-up organization in both workplaces and communities.

Anarcho-syndicalism isn't just about labor rights; it's a revolutionary strategy for transforming society. It seeks to create a world where workers directly control the means of production and distribution, eliminating the need for both bosses and state bureaucracies.

I'm one of those people who doesn't really like the idea of money, but I still have to use it to get by in today's world. It's not that I want to live without any way to exchange goods and services, but I think our current system could use some big changes.

I've been thinking a lot about how we could do things differently. What if we had a system where people got what they needed based on, well, their actual needs? Instead of having to sell their time and energy just to survive, or worrying about profits all the time.

I think it could make life better for everyone. We could focus more on helping each other out and less on chasing paychecks.

Cutting the size has increased the cost in most cases in the past decades. It has also decreased the quality of the outcome in most occasions. The only goal this neoliberal populism has achieved is to destabilize and weaken labor and its organized resistance, which is the true face of neoliberalism.

#Neoliberalism =anti-#Syndicalism = #Fascism = #anti-communsim

It is capital's reaction to labor organization for 1.5 centuries, dressed with pseudo-ideology and tons of #populism

@remixtures

Ah, @Radical_EgoCom, I remember you now. Look, I think it's best if I don't keep this back-and-forth going.

I'm an Anarcho-syndicalist through and through. I believe in decentralized, democratic worker-controlled unions. I've applied for a membership at nsf-iaa.org myself via e-mail. And yeah, I've got no love for any political parties or systems of control, doesn't matter what they call themselves.

You know what really gets to me? The idea that someone else knows what's best for me. Like, seriously? No political leader, celebrity, or self-proclaimed expert knows my life better than I do. Period!
