So like when your neighbor in Anarchistan keeps feeding the bears, causing them to overrun the town, is the rest of the town just supposed to tolerate it? How is society supposed to work without any kind of authority?
Anarchistan? Is that implying the ‘stan’ prefix means some run-down place. That’s really bordering onto some racist shit, and I’m already straining my tolerance for you as is.
Believe it or not, most people are not going to want to invite bears into their backyard especially if aware of the dangers. If the town decides to make rules against it, they town can act on it and solve the problem. Anarchism is not do whatever you want, whenever you want. It’s horizontal organisation and mutual consent.
I know what it means. I also know it’s used by racist chuds to talk bad about places, and you were using it to highlight a town where bears would run rampant… Not a good look if you had no ill intentions.
Libertarians are not Anarchists. Ancaps steal anarchist ‘branding’ to push capitalist bullshit. It’s like the Nazis calling themselves socialists, it means nothing and their ideology is not related.
You’re (deliberately?) bendng the definition of aufthority in order to score a point. You know that what you describe doesn’t fit the anarchist critique of “authority”.
I’m asking these open ended questions to give you an opportunity to explain what authority means within an anarchist context and how a community can deal with someone doing something that is potentially harmful to the rest of the community.
score a point.
If someone thinks anarchists complaining about communists instead of engaging with the systems that actually have power is silly, how do you think they’d feel about the reverse?
I described a scenario where ordinarily we would use someone with a position of authority to deal with a problem. I asked you what the anarchist solution is.
All you’ve done is accuse me of bad faith and tell me I’m not using definitions correctly without telling me what the correct one would be in these contexts or telling me literally anything about anarchy. Oh and linked a paper where a person says they don’t believe children should be required to go to school and that Industrial civilization is simply unfit to nurture human life and then told me I must be misunderstanding what is meant by “industrial civilization”.
I am trying my best here, but you’re not giving me much to work with.
In practice, yes, but Keynesisn theory, what the west’s political economic system is based on is fundamentally based on that assumption that people act in their own best interest. The whole invisible hand theory is also based on the same assumption

-istan just means “land of”, I picked anarchistan because it had a ring to it and I was in Kazakhstan a couple months ago.
I picked that example because that happened when a bunch of libertarians decided to make their own town., though usually they dont get beyond 1 person scamming the rest.
What if the woman who wants to feed bears donuts stops consenting to the town rules? Do they have the authority to stop or remove her?

Good thing we’re not in a chud space.
I know libertarians are not anarchists, I am using their situation to ask how your type of anarchists would deal with it differently.

But anarchists oppose authority. In an anarchist utopia, there is no authority. Here’s an explanation of the distinctions anarchists make
You didn’t answer my question, but the thing you linked me suggests you don’t think industrialized civilization should exist?
I didn’t answer, because the question didn’t make any sense.
Another term that you’re probably misunderstanding in bad faith.

Idk if it’s smart to base a system pff the assumption that people always act in their own best interest, that’s how we got where we are in the west.
No it’s not.
We have a system where we assume someone else is going to act into our best interest and vote for them.
