Comment on What do you think of anarchism?

You are arguing against a complete strawman, and seem to know nothing about anarchism.

Anarchism is not against government, or even some heirarchy, it’s about the abolishment of unjust heirarchy.

Pure anarchism? How do you define that, and which philosophers did you read to get to that definition?

Absence of government; the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness; political confusion.

  Yes, that’s a co-opted definition that doesn’t come from any anarchist philosophers. The definition has changed because people use the word differently.
  
  There is not a single anarchist philosopher that means that definition when they say they are an anarchist, however.
