    Anarchistan? Is that implying the ‘stan’ prefix means some run-down place.

    -istan just means “land of”, I picked anarchistan because it had a ring to it and I was in Kazakhstan a couple months ago.

    Believe it or not, most people are not going to want to invite bears into their backyard especially if aware of the dangers.

    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?

      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.

        Not a good look

        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.

      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?

            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.

              you don’t think industrialized civilization should exist?

              Another term that you’re probably misunderstanding in bad faith.

                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.

                  I asked you what the anarchist solution is.

                  “The anarchist answer”™️ probably looks like a militia of delegates, woven into a process of restorative justice.

                  Tap for spoiler

                  And now you’re probably gonna pull an Engels and claim that that’s authority.

                  without telling me what the correct one would be in these contexts or telling me literally anything about anarchy.

                  That’s not true. I shared an article explaining why your definition doesn’t fit what we’re talking about.

                  Oh and linked a paper

                  It’s an essay.

                  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

                  Called it!

                  School is an institution that was introduced to prepare the children of the proletariat to work in industry. That’s why going to school is mandatory in (most) capitalist countries.

                  You better read up on what havoc industrialization wreaked on family condition. The natural urge of children to play and learn being surpressed in order to prepare them for capitalistic exploitation and sort them into the financial caste they’re supposed to be in is something you condone?
