Written by "ziq" 🙄 I am tempted to discard it outright...
But from a quick skimming of the article it is a long treatise based on semantics and a strawman.
Obviously no-one that says "rules but no rulers" means that in the way ziq interprets it in the article. It is a shorthand for a specific audience that thinks "Anarchy" is about chaos and has otherwise little idea about it. Basically all it says is that a community isn't a free-for-all and actions have consequences 🤷
If anarchists like ziq did not exist, capitalists would need to invent them.
My response to seeing it was written by ziq was pretty similar lol.
I think you're right when you say that the saying "rules without rulers" is usually used to put down the idea that anarchists just want people running around killing each other.
But it's worth noting that anarchists don't really support rules as most people think of them they're more voluntary agreements created through consensus decision making
They don't know who I am, they're just rejecting an author using a pseudonym and not their real name because they're not an anarchist and don't understand security culture.
