And who forces this exile? You're just describing community policing with other terms. At the end there is always some sort of power involved

The state is authoritative manifestation of the whole of society

If you want “the whole of society” to enforce laws, you need a central organization of power to enforce such laws until there is a point where they can be locally organized and enforced in a democractic

Simply eliminating the state immediately won’t fix this problem of oppression, or introduce the aforementioned point, without generations of labor

Public Transportation for one

nah, fr tho I guess I am one but I also kinda don't care about much anymore besides what can help me help people, which starts with helping myself.

If socialism in one country doesn't work what makes you think anarchism will?

Who would run the internet in an anarchy?

how does an anarchist society stay anarchist? if you think at any given time 100% of a populace will simply embrace the ideals of anarchy to actively prevent authority you're delusional. even nomadic tribes aren't anarchist.

anarchist metaphysics so advanced it seems like magic

because I was an essentially juvenile person during the time period that I had my anarchist phase tbh lol

My KTT1 posts from early 2019 are certainly proof of that… it’s literally juvenilia to me lol

This is the nut of it

Anarchism is an entire political project predicated on denying this by claiming a utopian view of the individual human’s agentive morality

I dont I think there needs to be a global uprising

What makes you think imperialist powers wouldn't try to overthrow an anarchist society?

And if you do acknowledge that, what makes you believe a soviety without a state would be able to defend themselves?

I think that no major anarchist society will emerge in the modern world, I'm pretty practical so as a result I don't think about anarchism much, but I've studied it in the past

I agree with some of Bakunin's ideas, but overall I can only see anarchism exacerbating a lot of the problems of the world today, the violence of the state ruling society shifts to the rule of those literally prepared to be the most physically violent, CHAZ was an effective recent case study of this, by the end it was basically under the rule of a warlord and they had killed two unarmed black teenagers, just like the state they were trying not to be

Weren't you the guy arguing about how prisons are unjust? So what's your solution, just execution?

I don't know what the solution is but i do know i will have never have an ounce of sympathy for the oppressors.

depends on who's in the prison, for how long, and what they're doing in there

What an Argument.

If I'm being honest I don't think anarchism is the answer but its the closest
This century will see a new ideology rise

Synopsis had a whole thread on prison abolition, so i was just wondering how he was going to deal with the enemies of the revolution.

I like anarchists in the sense that I think they play a secretly vital role of the maintenance of the state by checking its worst offenses with their utopian ideological zeal

Obviously they should never “win” but they never can so that’s not a danger to whatevr State is in power, given that it retains its ability to rule

I didn’t really do a good job defending my position last night so hopefully other anarchists aren’t disappointed. I didnt re-read what I was posting so maybe it came off pretentious and wordy and s*** can’t lie I’m a bit of a pseud but I’m learning every day

Why do the anti-authoritarians not confine themselves to crying out against political authority, the state? All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?

Therefore, either one of two things: either the anti-authoritarians don't know what they're talking about, in which case they are creating nothing but confusion; or they do know, and in that case they are betraying the movement of the proletariat. In either case they serve the reaction.

Sure capitalism has proved efficient with regards to producing wealth, but aren’t these power structures imbalanced and evil?

And with that, capitalism literally won't be sustainable. It'll be the end of the civilisation if we continue down on this path.

Because society needs a form of structure.
