RE: They Said "If You Want Anarchy, Go To Somalia" — So Here I Am

in #anarchy7 years ago

The problem with anarchy is what happens when someone wants to make slaves of others. It's always going to happen. People can't do both: live their lives and enforce that others don't fuck them up, they have to have someone take care of that last part, like the hotel and his security staff. For obvious reasons, when security is concerned, all hotel guests are subject to what the staff says, they have to obey. Now, If guests want to do more than just visit the city, hotel staff will require more power to protect you. Over time, states just happen naturally, only because free will and liberty means that some people will feel free to harm others. I'm not saying states are a good thing, i'm saying they are things that just happen, like money. They are the way we organize for building peace. I think the question is how can we force states to fulfill the pact that they sign with their citizens.

Your question begins "How can we FORCE the state...
We can't. And as an anarchist I have no interest in forcing my will on anyone anyway.
Any more questions?
