So anyway, the worlds over.
Whether it be because of Britain, Europe or the East. COUGHAMERICACOUGH. Nuclear war has broken out.
Yes this is hypothetical, dont shit yourself.

After you emerge from your Bomb shelter, what do you do?

Search for fertile lands?
Raid towns?
Become nomadic?
Settle down.

Do you kill those you dont think are "Our sort of people..."
Do you intergrate them at the risk of losing control?

MWahhahaha.

I'd find a woman and get to work on repopulating the planet.

After you emerge from your Bomb shelter, what do you do?

Gloat about the demise of the Flanderses.

Form an unirridated spot of land, gather some people and form a small anarcho-communist community.

As the spirit of cooperation makes it the most sucessful nearby group, it will undoubtedly grow.

I don't expect to be leader though. I'll just need to find someone who can be.

An anarcho-communist group with a leader? Someone needs a dictionary... :rolleyes:

Set up shop on an island, that isn't glowing green from radiation (YES, I know it doesn't do that, it's a figure of speech), and then I'd develop a civilization from scratch based around the beliefs of the Utopian Unique Party.

Sorry, should have made that clear, I meant only as far as getting people together was concerned, not actually as in in charge of the community.

I apologize for any unclearness.

Amen to that.

Round up all the religious leaders(christians, muslims, and jews) who played a hand in instigating WWIII and turn them into slave labor to clean the earth up. And every time they start bitching at each other about whos right and whos wrong they get bitch slapped and told to get back to work. Yes I'm talking to you Pat Robertson, shut up and get back to work!

When you have bad guys its easier to get a group together.:)

I would raid the nearest town, and then make myself Supreme Ruler of North Carolina, where beautiful women will have to kneel before me and men shall do my bidding!

id get to work.

start cleaning up, take stock of what usable stuff might remain in my "area", put up my shortwave tower and spend the evenings listening for survivors and news. start planting or put up greenhouses, depending on the time of year.

id wait for other people to come to me. that way i have my best chance at self defense.

kill myself out of spite

I'd favour anarchosyndicalism over anarchocommunism, but pretty much the same concept with Moantha.

Before or after checking NS?

So anyway, the worlds over.
Aw shucks. I was just starting to like it, too.

Accept my call to greatness and lead an evil nomadic army of raiders against all you hippy scum. Ha!

Oooh... and I'd start my own religion and become the first God-king of Albion Resurgent.

Yes... that's right... beaver away in your happy pacifistic communes. You'll find how effective anarchy is in military terms after I steal your food and enslave your children!

Before or after checking NS?

After.

After.
:p First NS, then death.

Might be a problem finding a bunch of fanatic evil nomads.

Besides, just because we're hippy anarcho-communists doesn't mean that we're unarmed.

I would chat on Myspace that way I can ensure that the world still has the same problems it did have before only now are Cockroach masters will be emo

Hmm...

What exactly is the difference?

enslave your children!

skip the part about the end of the world I it sounds like a public service:p

You don't even give us a choice.

Are you crazy? EVERYONE knows that post-apocalypse the world will be awash with road-gangs, bikers and the human/cockroach hybrid known as the 'Chav'.

Persuading them that it'd be easier to steal food then grow it would take little or no effort on my part. Hell, I can even guarantee them military superiority. I've memorised the design schemata for the Sten SMG. Fifteen minutes in a workshop with some recycled steel and all my troops will be better armed than anybody except former military groups - who will have been the primary targets for a nuclear strike.

And as to anarcho-communism and warfare... well, I'll be eating your bread before your Defence Committee has agreed it's seating plan.

Hmm...

What exactly is the difference?

The most important reason is naturally that syndicalism is, as word, much cooler.

Read something about the Spanish Civil War and Makhno's Black Army before making such hasty assumptions. Anarchist military can prove to be highly effective.

Ah. Now help me plan our defense against the Abomination.

Wow, I always thought it was Anarcho-cynicalist! Chuff me with a big stick, you learn something new every day!

:p First NS, then death.

Preeeeeeeeeeeeecisely! :D

Ah. Now help me plan our defense against the Abomination.

Of course. I think that the best strategy is to just spread propaganda amongst his troops. Those who are former members of the working class will naturally join our cause and start fighting the oppressive owning class that Abomination forms, and with our aid he would be put out of power before it's too late.

Not to mention the sudden swelling of our population with people ready and capable of fighting to defend our commune. Er... syndicate?

I like the way you think.

Firstly, I would find fellow survivors who I found amenable, and form a unit to procure weaponry and, then, go looting. We would subsequently install ourselves as a latter day star council in a rebuilt London, with the majority of Britain revrting back to agricultural or aesthetic use due to the loss of population. Personally, I'd want the South West as my dukedom.

We all know that the only 'working' class in Britain at the moment is the middle class. What I will be leading are the lazy, welfare hugging criminal elements of our society, made rabid by hunger and jealousy. Oh, and the promise of loot and firepower.

Several problems with propaganda. First of all, none of my troops will be able to read, so leaflets are pointless. Second of all, any attempts at infiltration are likely to be met with butchery - I've never found tolerance of alternative viewpoints a particularly noticeable trait in my selected portion of society. Next of all, YOU will be the rich, WE will be the poor. It is us who will be rising up against the selfish hoarders of limited resources.

And anarchic military hierachies only successfully function in small groups. Any larger and the dynamic of mutual association shatters, the inconvenience of mass democracy cripples you and... well... I guess that means I get your daughters.

Duh. How else would we find out that the world had ended?

After you emerge from your Bomb shelter, what do you do?



I would try to score some weed.

Probably look for a mate, or mate with the lady I'm already with if she also survives. Gotta repopulate, you know. Oh, and help arm the commune against Abomination. After looting deserted towns of course. Actually, that would be part of arming the commune. Not exactly sure where I'd set up.

I'd go for settling down........... out of the atmosphere in very tiny pieces. :p since my bomb shelter is within 2 miles of a major military target:eek:

I didn't realize this had to take place in UK... I do not know about the political situation in there enough to try to argue about that. However, the submachinegun-building by using illiterate criminals and twisted pieces of metal you find from destroyed cities is so unrealistic that I responded with almost equally unrealistic idea of solidarity beeing stronger than greed amongst your troops.

You will find it very hard to collect adequate number of illiterate men, unless you want to use idiots, retards or little kids. Besides, it is YOU whose military will be uneffective. 1st because the morale of your "troops" will be hundred times lower than that of ours, 2nd because of their inability to do absolutely anything without straight order from you, which makes them very weak, especially if the group is bigger than a dozen or something. If it is bigger, you will have to use lieutenants, and knowing how harsh discipline and dictatorial measures you use to keep your men in line, those lieutenants will find it very easy to get the men to follow them against you, which leads to the inevitable disperse and destruction of your group.

Untrue. Like I said, you should really get some information about the real history before making such statements. Tens of thousands of men have fought very effectively in division/army corps-scale battles
under anarchist command. This requires only very high level of morale and understanding of why they should do as their elected commanders tell them to. Solidarity and intelligence of the men are the most important factors in the anarchosyndicalist army, and the two main advantages against your group of raiders.

I'd become... a Postman! :p
Scary thought, eh?

Slightly unrealistic scenario, as you are assuming I would have been in the bomb shelter in the first place.

PLEASE don't tell me you mean that godawful movie with that godawful actor, I think his name started with P... or S, I can't remember really.

I become a mutated biker in the irradiated wasteland that is the Black Count....oh, wait, i did this joke on your zombie thread. Bum.

I dunno. Probably find an abandoned lighthouse and live off fish and potatoes and paint bad landscapes and keep pigs.

PLEASE don't tell me you mean that godawful movie with that godawful actor, I think his name started with P... or S, I can't remember really.
ZOMG, I AM IN YOUR SIG OMGWTF11!!111!ELEVENTY!11:D

I'd probably try and unite the people by motivating them to come together to extract some blood compensation from those responsible. Not only will revenge be the glue which will hold our budding society together, but it people always feel better when there is someone to blame.

Now, whose fault was this again? Who shall we hunt for retributions? If the world was to be destroyed by anyone, who would it be... ... ...COUGHAMERICACOUGH... ... HACKWHEEZETHEUNITEDSTATESCOUGHHACKOFAMECIRACA!... ... ahem... ... hmmm, nope, can't think of anyone who could possibly do such a terrible thing. Oh well, no revenge for us...

Find and stockpile large caches of weaponry, and hunt down and destroy the remnants of the shattered human race. Then, go down to some major former drug community, and do all the shit I can find, but spaced out so I am really fucked up for a few days/weeks, and then die. Thus ends the blight on the galaxy known as the human race.

I'd probably set out to preserve as much of the surviving scientific and technological knowledge as possible... but only after ensuring my personal safety, looking for female companionship (and not just to keep me from going completely insane), and checking to see if my favorite Internet forums were still operational.

I'd find Chuck Norris and His Beard and beg one of them to protect me from the cockroaches.

ZOMG, I AM IN YOUR SIG OMGWTF11!!111!ELEVENTY!11:D

Easy there tiger, don't strain something... like my brain :p

Okay, I won't tell you ;)

Aha! Kevin Costner! See I told you it started with S...

I'd get the last of the old V-8 interceptors and a dog, learn to speak with an Ausie accent and go in search of a refinery in the middle of a wasteland.

Wow, good to see someone has an original idea.

I'd gather a small group of like-minded individuals and find an area to settle down in that can provide the necessities of life instead of causing us to die of cancer from excessive radioactivity.

Quickly get to work setting up my own personal army of fellow survivors, who would subjugate the majority of survivors by killing anyone who even thinks about disobeying.

Accept my call to greatness and lead an evil nomadic army of raiders against all you hippy scum. Ha!

Oooh... and I'd start my own religion and become the first God-king of Albion Resurgent.

Yes... that's right... beaver away in your happy pacifistic communes. You'll find how effective anarchy is in military terms after I steal your food and enslave your children!

Before or after I hang your leaders?

My mercinaries are open to hire, preferably to little anarchist communes who need defence.
