RE: A few thoughts on Anarchy from a post-apartheid South Africa (not for the squeamish)

in #anarchy8 years ago

Thanks for engaging in the debate, Perhaps I have more to learn about just what anarchy means and anarchists aims are... but from where I am standing, when the rule of law breaks down, the results are not positive. Perhaps that is not anarchy then...

Sort:  

anarchy just means without rulers. When you decide who to hang out with, you're making an anarchistic decision, unless you call your local congress person to get their permission.

wheb the rule of law breaks down it is usually because of corruption of that rule, so it makes sense that the results would not be positive. but thinking that an anachronistic institution like government is the solution to the problem it creates itself takes a faith I cannot commit to.
