There are many social programs, but the biggest one is “Expense assistance”, where the state will make sure you have minimum amount of money required for living after income. In practice it’s around 600-1000€,just enough for the cheapest rent and cheap food. However that’s all you need to get back on your feet.
I live in Finland, so uh. There are none
A coffee grinder. Freshly grinded beans taste so different from normal preground coffee.
Coffee press, 20€ and you don’t have to make an entire pot of coffee without resorting to instant coffee. Also very satisfying to use.
Anarchy is generally assumes that people will naturally cooperate without arbitrary distinctions. In practice most anarchists are mostly anti centralization. The smaller the political entities are the better (singular persons if you take it to the extremes).

Nihilism. Imagine there being no past nor future, but like a child in a waiting room for the abyss you’re given a paper and some crayons. Why wouldn’t you try to draw the greatest piece you could? And if something goes wrong, well it’s just a happy accident. It’s not like this matters anyway. That’s how I see my life.

Admittedly China hasn’t militarily invaded another country since it’s invasion of Vietnam in 79. Though the Uyghur genocide doesn’t strike me as a lot more benevolent than the ongoing wars in Africa and Middle East.
Is it though? White isn’t being used as a derogatory in the same way “14yo boy choosing favorite totalitarian regime” isn’t sexism against all men.
China and Russia are absolutely relevant, since this post is about tankies. This isn’t deflecting critique of the west, it’s pointing out the hipocrasy of using these faults in the US as a defence of Russia/China.
You’re saying that like Russia and China don’t have slave labor camps and haven’t been bombing Africans and Muslims for decades.

It is a very cooperative field where everyone has different roles with different responsibilities, but everyone has a vague idea what everyone else is doing. Most of the time is spent making sure everyone else can also use the systems you build, not just yourself.
