RE: The Problem With Anarchism - An Open-Minded Challenge

in #anarchism8 years ago

Sure, I agree with most of the points of anarchism; I don't want rulers, but how do you get rid of them in the real world? Someone will always rise up in power to coerce others to fit their own vision of the world. Yeah theoretically I want a society with no rulers and have the code = law, but even in such scenarios, due to network effects, there will always be inequality of power distribution, allowing a few people at the top to effectively become the rulers of everyone else. We see it here on Steemit. Explain to me the difference between "whales" and "rulers".

Haha. Indeed...
The only way I can imagine it really working is in a world full of much better educated people.
With decent training, 99% of people would flourish. But today's crop of whiney, infantile, irrational morons... Well, shit.
It's theoretically possible, and all the mechanism's there with common-law, but most people are too well domesticated by their masters... They will overplay their hand though, evil always does.
