Anarchy is a state of things first and foremost
It's the state of "things" before the establishment of any given social order, or after its collapse
In a way it's the natural "state of things"
Otherwise, within any given social order, anarch-ism, is a means to bring down the said social order, in order to fill the void/power vacuum with a new type of social order once the collapse happened
When the said social order/system, exists only for the sake a tiny fraction of the population, at the expense of the vast majority, anarchism tends to become de facto the political leaning everybody ends up agreeing upon to some extent; bring the shit down BAMN first, in a nutshell, and "we'll discuss what order should take place/prevail... After shit is brought down". A that point you have revolution essentially
Mad max is pretty much what anarchy looks like practically speaking, on a day to day basis
You need order for commerce to take place.... So anarcho capitalism...
Take singapore, it's ranked second regarding economic freedom, worldwide
And it's a dictatorship, it's not a perpetual mess/anarchy
I disagree with your vision of what anarchy has to look like. But i agree with everything else you say.
It's not what it "has to", it's what it is as far as I know
I mean, show me one example of nationwide anarchy, that isn't an abject mess in all possible ways
Yeah thats the thing. There are no examples of effective anarchist societies that ive seen. Im still fascinated by the idea, and i hold it as a utopian ideal.
