      Armed militias and unchecked gangs of armed thugs hired for enforcement and security.

      Then again, we’re both thinking way too far ahead. Who’s producing medicine and opiates in an anarchist society?

        Anarchy is a society completely free from government, coercive authority, or imposed hierarchies. While it is popularly misunderstood to mean chaos or lawlessness, it actually advocates for a system based on voluntary cooperation, self-organization, and mutual aid among individual

        in a classless society, how can anyone employ anyone else? I think you’re lost, and you should wander back to a liberal conclave

            I don’t believe the entire world can work on the honor system, but I would agree were it possible. There will always be some dude in 300 trying to step on the other 299.

          In a classless society, how is anyone cared for if no one has the intrinsic motivation to do so? Because it’s the nice thing to do? Lmao.

          The main issue with anarchism is that absolute freedom for you is a double-edged battle-axe. It assumes all people are good and trustworthy without any guardrails if they aren’t.
