Every collective will always have to prepare for and content with oppositional actors. Sadly, this is a fact of life. Anarchist theory is well versed in the concept that the state will inevitably retaliate as the existence of an anarchist society threatens the perceived hierarchical structure that state authority is founded on. If people understand they do not need to acquiesce their political autonomy to an arbitrary authority to ensure stability in their lives, the state loses the power it has over the people.
