      If literally everyone’s needs are met, why would anyone side with a warlord?

      Hmm I can participate in society with basically zero obligations other than “mind my own business”, or I can give up all my power to a strongman.

      Obviously communes are able to defend themselves, I don’t know why you seem to think they wouldn’t.

        Im not looking for a fight, so no worries.

        I feel like its really easy to poke holes in anarchy but maybe we should just try to be good people so that the state is rendered useless.

        Because everyone’s needs being met =/= everyone’s desires being met.

    That would take a genie to accomplish. Or a few…

    You cannot simply leapfrog to communism unless you want to end up like every “communist” country that has existed… As in, not what you want at all in any way.
