  Oh you mean a democracy that isn’t flawed like the USA.
  Scandinavian countries have direct democracy, and they are in no way anarchist.

    Maybe you mean general elections on every detail of law, but again, that’s impossible, it’s stupid, it’s a waste of time and resources to have people decide how farmers interact with suppliers and dairy, something 99.9% of all people have no knowledge of.

    this is not a problem in any real world anarchist society, what actually happens is building law through consensus, look at the way the zapatistas organize for example.

    showing up to the meetings isn’t mandatory, but they have one day off where everyone is allowed to participate, in the event of a tie, they vote, but most decisions are made through consensus.

    also I think you vastly overestimate how much laws need to be changed, lawmakers will not endlessly go back and forth about unimportant things. did you know most members of congress in the us don’t even read the bills they sign? How much work is it really to help with making law once a week or so?

        There are tons, they just are usually destroyed by outside forces
