Anarchism?

look, you dont want to do the leg work then dont. Nothing worth anything comes easy, the same is true with knowledge.

How is admitting to not wanting to spend time actually saying anything doing legwork? You're pretending to have knowledge and answers. Hey, just agree to disagree with me and if you've ever got time to actually present a counter-argument, do so. Again, I'm not an anarchist. I'm open to learning about the idea, period.

Let's say I live in a small anarchistic village. There is no hierarchy of power, we all convene at a chosen location every week to have a discussion on the issues we face and utilize direct democracy. To protect our own personal freedom from 'warlords', we do own guns and have agreed we should have a certain group of willing people to guard the perimeter. That's it. They can communicate with each other just fine.

i agree with a lot of things you say, but dude... you sound like you are 16 here. your naivete is sweet, but it is not realistic.

you are also demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge of tactical situations.

Anarchism, I'd agree, is idealistic in that it is so far removed from what we have that it makes it seem like literally the least plausible solution. That is my main problem with it. But I also believe it has a lot more legitimacy than what people initially think. In defending it I'm totally aware that while what I say might be true, whether anarchism can ever exist and "work" is debatable and hard to imagine. But don't confuse examples I use for argument's sake for what I think reality would actually look like 100%.

As far as tactical situations go, it was an example. I didn't use a particularly large-scale example because the importance of tremendous tactical organization is reduced the smaller the scale of the conflict.
