    If literally everyone’s needs are met, why would anyone side with a warlord?

    Hmm I can participate in society with basically zero obligations other than “mind my own business”, or I can give up all my power to a strongman.

    Obviously communes are able to defend themselves, I don’t know why you seem to think they wouldn’t.

    Go read some theory and get back to me. Theanarchistlibrary.org is right there

      People have wants more than needs when needs are largely met. You are imagining a humanity that simply does not exist.

      Again, how are you going to deal with a band of assholes that want to TAKE from you?

      Because everyone’s needs being met =/= everyone’s desires being met.

        Why not?

        We’ve already established community self defense to deter would-be warlords. Your life, yes yours idgaf who you are, would be better under anarchism.

          Right… community self defense magically makes fighting and assaults disappear… You live in lala land. No wonder you’re telling us to read theory, because that’s the only place such childish, underdeveloped concepts can survive.

          (btw, I do like the concept of anarchy, I’m just not so foolish as to think there are zero evil or childish people in the real world)

      Im not looking for a fight, so no worries.

      I feel like its really easy to poke holes in anarchy but maybe we should just try to be good people so that the state is rendered useless.
