  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.

      Authoritarians create crisis then claim power. It doesnt matter if everyone’s needs are being met. They will create chaos and then become the savior being, “the only one who can fix it” ignoring the fact they created the problem in the first place.

        Yes, and what part of not having cops or a government would prevent assholes from creating perceived crises to take advantage of?

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

      Why not?

      We’ve already established community self defense to deter would-be warlords. Your life, yes yours idgaf who you are, would be better under anarchism.

        Right… community self defense magically makes fighting and assaults disappear… You live in lala land. No wonder you’re telling us to read theory, because that’s the only place such childish, underdeveloped concepts can survive.
