Being forced to do it means that you must do it even if you don't want to. You are forced to do it even if you are happily willing to do it, you have no (legal) decision on it.

Sound like the time to tax the rich was from 2016 to 2024. It's now time to do something else

A country that cares for you wouldn't force you to join the military and put you in jail if you refuse.

Labels are a real tool used to control and manipulate people

We will also de-corrupt and fix any of them.

Nordic nations have the blueprint.

They may be doing certain things right but do other totally wrong like forced conscription. Keep also in mind that they exploit third world countries like everyone else, their goods are made in china.

And now you know why corporations and politicians don't use mastodon

but human psychology is to blame.

I believe youtube algorithms are playing a bigger role than human psychology here.

I literally provided concrete examples of shows doing just that. There are plenty of other examples such as Mr. Robot or V for Vendetta. Some are more subtle than others, but the message is always that resisting authority should be done by lone rebels, and loose self organizing groups. Some shows name anarchism explicitly, others merely imply it.

The examples you provided are fictional movies popular for their alternative plot. If you are interested in anarchism read authors like Malatesta, Emma Goldman, Bakunin or Kropotkin. "Anarchism" is not a football team, saying anarchists have nothing to show in over a century sounds like a misinterpretation of anarchism and an insufficient knowledge of history.

Anarchism and anti-authoritarianism are used as release valves to funnel this discontent away from serious organizing that might challenge the system.

Organization does not imply authority or rulers. Authoritarian organizations can be used as a release valve too and one could argue they are easier to manipulate and control.

They are in fact dependent on central authority as history clearly shows.

A person can have discipline and be organized without a general or ruler.

That’s the reality.

I've been banned and censored before from this sub and lemmy.ml simply for challenging the narrative. I'm not going to reply here any further. You are welcome discussing authority in a less authoritarian sub where none of us will be silenced.

The promotion of anarchism within capitalist media, coupled with the suppression of Marxist thought, is damning evidence against anarchism as viable opposition to capitalist hegemony.

Over here capitalist media and state media are the same outlet and never in my life i've seen them promoting anarchism. They don't even mention anarchists as such unless when it's useful to portrait "anarchism" under bad light, they are usually referred to "extremists" or "antagonists".

Meanwhile, history demonstrates time and again that revolutions require centralized authority to dismantle oppressive systems.

This sound like a generalization that isn't necessarily true and one could argue that replacing an oppressive system with another is no revolution at all.

Capitalism tolerates anarchism precisely because it poses no systemic threat

I'm not sure where you live, in pretty much every country in the world self thought is discouraged and education is rooted in conformism.

while revolutionary movements succeed only by embracing disciplined, organized force.

Discipline and organization are not dependent on a central authority. State media is working hard in making sure you don't hear about success from "others".

Stop spilling your hate of Europe

Pushing authoritarian laws and surveillance is being hateful toward europe and everyone who lives there.

and you seem projecting something
