    Anarchism just won’t work lol. People will band together, larger groups would survive and whoops! It’s countries all over again

    • Anarchism is a lot of work negotiating, setting standards and consequences, balancing forces. Constant politics without an overarching state. Any concentration of capability for violence or resource to be shared must be extremely carefully handled.

      What you are describing is warlords filling a political vacuum caused by chaos.

      Someone has been misrepresenting anarchism to you.

        I think the point he’s making is that anarchism is one big power vacuum and those are usually filled with warlords and power brokers. Anarchism can still exist within a state such as Christiania in Denmark and from what I’ve heard it works pretty well.
