Again, I’d encourage you to start by understanding what constitutes anarchism. If you want to argue that it won’t work, then fine, but this version of anarchism you’ve concocted in your mind doesn’t match with what any anarchists have ever claimed. No one merely expects everyone to play nice, and nothing about anarchist theory relies on human nature being perfect. It can and does work in spite of our human flaws.
What it does claim is that traits like mutual aid and cooperation are suppressed in an unjust system, and that these things are just as much present in humans as are harmful traits like competition or war.
Please read up on what anarchism is. It’s impossible to have a discussion about something totally fabricated and baseless.
Understanding your desired definition of anarchism
A definition you value because it says that humans will be enterely helpful to each other the moment they are freed from the system you personally do not like (even if for valid reasons). There does not seem to be a lack of charity funds available and yet there is also no lack of people skimming from them.
You are saying my definition doesn’t mesh with others when all you point to is that of a couple individuals as well that you respect more than me. You can’t even hear my side of the argument without dismissing it because that is the nature of humans.
It’s impossible to also have a conversation with you as you insist holding onto your perspective because it’s what you brain is trained to do. It’s the way humans protect themselves and it’s why a singular self perceived idea of reality never works because it lacks the nuance of realizing others are here that do not share these thoughts.
You are correct in this being a waste of time but for the wrong reasons. And also likely why neither of us will have a victory in this ever. Ever. The best we can hope for is to accept and modify reality not change it.
Again, anarchism does not claim that we will abruptly end society and everyone will immediately cooperate. Anarchism does not rely on people being perfect. Anarchism is not the absence of rules (though the term “rules” may not be uses, since it implies connection to a hierarchical system).
You are using a false definition of anarchism, based on anti-anarchist misinformation and propaganda. You make as much sense as the “anarcho” capitalists. You think it means no rules, no guidelines, no societal roles.
Read up on the Zapatistas. There you will find a good example of an anarchist community at work. Even my non-profit, though not purely anarchist, adopts many of its principles, such as that of horizontality.
Good day to you. It seems you need more time to reflect and learn from what I’ve said. Honestly understandable – sometimes these forums seem to inherently encourage hostility and doubling down in spite of oneself, and I think you’ll come to know that what I’m saying is accurate once you’ve had some time to mull this over and maybe click some of those links I gave you.
