Quote:Just as with communism, they're not taking human nature into account. They were hoping for humans to behave without any rules, which is totally absurd, of course. And in their vast majority, they're anything but communist. That's a pretty good wiki page on the different forms of anarchism and what they wanted society or better, the absence of society, to look like.This concept of human nature is bullshit. I've told people anarchy worked temporarily in Spain during the civil way. Any political system can work under the right circumstances - You just have to give people the right reasons to fight for something Btw, the reason people like Stalin and Lenin created their own socialist systems was to correct some parts of Marxism that, at the time, were not working.
I absolutely hate right-anarchists, far more than peaceful hippie lover ones - Some may even be lovely people - But they suck - Every regulation is oppression, it's ok for someone to starve to death, but propose giving the homeless welfare and they'll call it "inciting laziness" - Then tell them we should tax the rich and they'll freak out completely. When I'm debating those people I've noticed they refer to anyone who doesn't agree with them as "statists" so I make it a point to pretend to be a hardcore statist, even if I'm not.
Quote:Perhaps someone can answer this for me, in an anarchist society how would the weak and vulnerable be protected? Maybe I am misunderstanding how anarchy would work but wouldn't the strongest just dominate the weaker members?While this point is good - It already happens in statist capitalist societies so I don't think it's an anarchy exclusive problem - Sometimes it's the police treating the weak poorly.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
