    Are you being edgy or serious? Anybody who’s not actually a teenager is smart enough to realize that anarchy could never work and not having any laws would predictably end very poorly…

      Teenage anarchism ideologies basically boild down to “So I won’t have to go to school and read anymore”. If they actually knew what anarchism is, they’d be surprised to learn that there is a lot of reading to do in order to fully understand an anarchist society or one of its many sub-structures.

      Anarchy doesn’t necessarily mean chaos without structure, as many believe. However, chaos without structure is one of the variants of anarchy.

      Most laws that exist serve to protect private property. An anarchist society wouldn’t have private property, so most laws that exist would be to punish transgressions between individuals. Political anarchy is not “do whatever you want, whenever you want, no exceptions”. It’s a direct democracy without hierarchy, with elected stewards to manage the shared property in a library economy.

      Anarchism is not the absence of law.

      So why don’t YOU take your teenager education and learn more?

        Cause i’m already doing great in this capitalist system. If you’d grow up and stop complaining, maybe you could, too.

          It’s almost like having a job that pays okay is still A) Not making me happy and B) contributing to the Earth’s destruction.

            I love working the majority of my waking life just to scrape by, what a wonderful system where the only escape is being born privileged or working yourself even closer to death and taking advantage of other people to start a business
