- government doesn’t need to be a ruling force
- words can have different meanings than their etymological origins suggest
- dictionary definitions aren’t sufficient in defining a philosophy
No, just the words used to describe the philosophy. 
har har.
Okay, then what is the definition of “anarchy” then where it comes to a system of governance?
Right, because the study of actual human behavior counts for NOTHING in economics right?
I’ve read pretty much every anarchist thinker from Emma Goldman to Noam Chomsky, and never once have I heard a legitimate plan for actually enacting this change in the social order. Goldman would hem and haw her way out of the question by basically saying there’s no answer, Chomsky refuses to even acknowledge that it’s a valid question.
So I have a question for the anarchists. What does day one of the transition from statist slaves to free anarchists look like? Where do we begin?
Perhaps if you take a more grounded, causal look at what you’re saying you’ll realize how absurd it actually is. Or maybe you’ll show the rest of us how silly we’ve been to doubt it. Either way, I want to know how this comes about, and how all the repercussions are dealt with, because there are tons of factors at play here that seem incredibly complicated to address.
Is that what it is? Looks more like coming to a conclusion, then using facts that support the conclusion and ignoring facts that don’t support the conclusion to me. Much like, say, the Discovery Institute does.
I’m still very fuzzy, though, on how anarchism could actually be…well…executed, and what to do with ne’er-do-wells. Banishment/exile? Why? How? Without a system of laws, how does one maintain ownership of property? If I broke into your house and stole your computer, what could you do? If you turned around and broke into my house to steal your computer back, what do I do?
I don’t know how this would work. Do you? Does anyone?
I figured it out, the best type of hierarchy is south korea, where samsung owns the government
So you’re saying a corporation-based oligarchy is the solution for a government?
Isn’t that just supposed to be similar to the Renaissance period in Italy then?
they didn’t have 200" LCD’s on every wall and 3D screens on cell phones during the renaissance
they have entire cities but you can never leave or even take pictures
If the dawn of anarchy means that I can finally fashion myself as Anar Claus, then I say BRING IT ON! It’s always been a dream of mine to supply AK-47’s to the underpriviledged children of the world…
Wait, what? Oh come on Somalia and Uganda!
Disregarding the difference in technology in our time period vs. theirs, I mainly directing towards the oligarchy. However, Italy was ruled by families in an oligarchy, and divided into city-states.
Again, it depends on what the rules you and your community have agreed upon. You could have private civil action against those who have done you wrong as Agorism suggests. But again, the difference between this and government is that the relationships in Anarchist society are voluntary. If you do not agree to the terms of a community you do not have to join it.
The version of Anarchy that seems to make the most sense is almost a very extreme version of federalism, where you have many communities who may have different rules or cultures. In this situation you effectivly have a labrotory of freedom where market forces (people leaving or joining) will dictate the success of any given set of rules or political philosophy that the community has set up.
Okay, how does one force a ne’er-do-well out of their community and then keep them out? What it sounds like to me is that you’re advocating for a form of government…a government that we in the United States and other countries already have.
Surely that only works in small communities?
EDIT: Also, I’d argue that getting rid of money won’t do much. People assign value to things from a very young age, so some system of trade is bound to arise. EDITEDIT: Wait, just got to that bit.
Personal possession and value of objects is a cultural things. There have been and still are plenty of cultures where there was no such thing as personal possession.
What about personal possession of ghosts
What a load of rubbish. You’ve never seen a one-year old covet a toy? They’re not at the age where they’ve picked up cultural leanings.
I lived in Russia but my favorite toys were batman, optimus prime and robocop.
