What guarantees are there that it will happen?
I think there's a bit of a difference between acknowledging that Stalinesque states are bad and abandoning all government. Seriously, does anybody understand what "nuance" is anymore?
As for anarchism itself, there is one key question I've asked anarchists that I have never gotten a good answer for: If anarchism is such a great thing, why have there never been anarchistic societies that were good enough for others to emulate them?
