civil society

You forgot to mention that they violently took an empty house no one used but the owner wanted it to be empty

As much as I agree that “civilized society” spouted by right-wingers is awfully damn far from it it seems kinda weird to act like anarchy would bring about a structured society.

All large groups who don’t want to end up falling into disparate groups led by the nearest psychopath and trauma-fueled meat-heads are going to need structure. Yes, capitalism and the right in general have failed but that doesn’t mean government is bad(or even difficult).

Anarchism isn't the absence of structure but the absence of hierarchy. The most basic idea of anarchist decision making is a council free for everyone to join that tries to find consensus.

This isn't exactly what the comic portrays though. If you're thinking of "anarchy" as being the absence of government, it isn't anarchy itself that would lead to a structured society, it's the intentional efforts of people to build a society sans government that is structured on things other than property and institutional violence.
- The idea of government does not require property and institutional violence. If that’s where we’re starting from then there’s not going to be much of a conversation to be had.
- That’s not anarchy, that’s just wanting a different system of government but expecting it to come with dramatic fanfare and the naive trust that good people will fill the power vacuums. It takes work, and that’s hard, but that’s the only way it’s going to work.
  And you’re right, why do we allow it? We could vote for better people, obviously, but we don’t. Many people have been working on this problem for a long time.
  We will always fall back to a government system of some kind. You can tear down the current one and pretend that the job will be done or you can actually work to make the stupid thing work.

To me this shows the problem with anarchism. It's a reason anarchism is the somewhat acceptable protestation. In the mean time others are working on actually takeover use the No1 weapon avvailable, the state. /Anarchist in the street, ML in the sheets

The state is a corrupting force. It’s using the ring to fight Sauron. You can use it at times, but to seize it or accept its right to exist even temporarily gives room for those interested in power to seize your movement and they will never let go. Add in power corrupting even the good and you’ve got problems brewing.
We will be as the weeds. And we will fill the holes an unjust society leaves, cracking the concrete and overrunning their manicured lawns. A decentralized movement cannot be extinguished without removing the conditions that allow it to thrive. It cannot be subverted or taken over. It has its weaknesses, but I don’t trust the people’s stick to beat my neighbors either.
- If I was in Middle Earth, I totally would have used the Ring against Sauron.
- Making my point. That's the think that's creates smelly hippies . The opposite is what actually create socialist states. . The people's stick will beat deadbeats and I'm happy with that. Liberalism is perhaps the ideology you are looking for?

I'm 13 and this is deep.

Those aren't anarchists, they're synarchists.

The things they do like pooling resources require governing over. Governing.

Just do a simple fucking web search before you comment, this is embarassing.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism
- I skimmed the article and it does seem to agree with the comment you responded to, no? Genuinely asking, I don't know anything about this.
- Yeah, it really is.
  Let's use your link, if that's the level of discussion you're on.
  Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is against all forms of authority and seeks to abolish the institutions
  Literally the first sentence.
  These people demonstrate a community so large that pooling the resources will surely be written down. That or it won't work like in the comic. Thus they'll end up making the very same institutions they claim to abolish.
  These are a minimally governed commune. Minarchy, synarchy, but not anarchy.
  Quite embarrassing indeed.

Meanwhile actual anarchists: "I'm bigger than you so your loved ones are now my sex slaves"

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
- I think they meant to ask "in an anarchic society, who enforces rights in the absence of the state?"
  Also I'll second that motion because I honestly know next to nothing about anarchy.
Slavery is like the opposite of anarchism
- If only
Which anarchist said that?
Those are fundamental theorists of anarchism. Who can be called more of an actual anarchist than the guy who coined the term in modern day and the prince who abdicated to join the Russian revolution under the name of anarchism and wrote the basic texts of modern anarchy?
Want to know who will stop the bigger person from doing that? Three people teamed up with clubs.
- Ah yes that went so well for us historically.
