    You engage in anarchism every day, and since you’re here on Lemmy, it’s statistically unlikely you’re beating people up.

      The hell I do, and it’s the people beating me up - that’s how I know you’re full of shit. People beating people up is a permanent facet of humanity - it’s what makes them animals.

        You don’t engage in anarchism? At all, ever? So in your group of friends, you have clearly established hierarchy? Do you go on a date with the assumption that one of you is in charge? Have you never gotten together with a group and discussed what’s best for you all, without one person being the leader?

        Anarchism isn’t a lack of rules, or the strong beating the weak, or every person for themselves. Anarchism is rejection of cohersive authority. Anarchism is a thousand little things you do every day with everyone around you. You’ve definitely participated in anarchism, whether you want to admit you have or not. And no amount of protestation is going to change that.

          I don’t have friends because assholes like you coerce others not be my friend - even threatening them with death if necessary.

          Do you go on a date with the assumption that one of you is in charge?

          I don’t go on dates - or even get near people - because you are all bloodthirsty bastards who enjoy torturing the “other”.

          Have you never gotten together with a group and discussed what’s best for you all, without one person being the leader?

          I’ve never been allowed into any group, because the leader of every group ordered his followers not to accept my humanity, and they slavishly obeyed. Because that’s an inherent facet of humanity - blindly believing and obeying what you’re told.

          Anarchism is rejection of cohersive authority.

          So, anarchism is being dead? Because that’s what happens when you reject authority - they fucking kill you. No exceptions; barely any delays.

          The only way an individual does not die is to submit to a group that will protect the individual, and the minimum price for that protect is their free will. If the individual isn’t willing to be the group’s slave, why would the group ever accept the individual, when the only value any individual has for a group is their slave labor?
