Anyone who says anarchy is a solution is a grade A moron. Anarchy by definition isn't even a system. It's just a bunch of people doing what they want. The best case scenario is that anarchy results in a bunch of smaller, more community catered systems. Which at that point it's not anarchy anymore. Even then, every smaller system is vulnerable to the very human tendency of being swallowed up by the guy with the bigger stick.
In fact, if anything, anarchy would slip into fascism as soon as it becomes clear what coalition has the bigger guns.
So feel better knowing that anarchy larpers are really just getting their rocks off on how they imagine it would be, when in reality most everyone would just end up yeilding to the biggest guns because we fear for our lives.
You don't seem to understand what anarchy is or what anarchist politics is. You should know what you're talking about before you speak with confident derision.
Want to enlighten me? Because based on the raw definition, what I said is consistent. But please do explain to me how anarchy is supposed to work for 350 million people
That second definition is really weird. An organization on the basis of voluntary cooperation is a government.
Really this just highlights the absurdity of anarchy. It's more of a libertarian myth than anything else.
Dictatorships are a form of government that isn't based on voluntary cooperation. In fact almost no government has 100% support of it's citizens. That's why we have things like the police and military. You've just shown you don't see any of the threats or violence involved in state craft, or are pretending not to.
What kind of libertarian are you talking about specifically? The word has become very muddied and represents very different groups and ideologies.
