Well, i would have trouble dating someone like Luaren.
She is so hard to pin down on what she actually believes.
Her words do not match her actions.
She is definitely a TradThot, and seeking attention.
But is that all?
Larken has put together many fine arguments and videos over the years. However, he is not the kind of person i would want as a friend. He seems to have been dating 3 women over the last few years, one of them being his wife, another being someone else's wife.
And the whole thing... anarchy only works when you have a bunch of people that are able to fend for and defend themselves. We obviously do not have that, so we need to come together as a community to support and mutually aid each other. And also, we are very tribal and social.
Lets take our current pyramidical govern-cement. Does it run so poorly because the most evil rise to the top? Is it the very structure that is wrong? Or is the evil people?
And the solutions aren't really coming out of these debates. They are coming from things like crypto-currencies. What do we need as money today? Something that we can trust in, because we can see its internal workings, and is build in such a way that trust of any person is not necessary. it is something that has completely changed the paradigm.
And that is where the future is at.
Not throwing out the "state" and replacing it with nothing.
The good thing as anarchists is that we will not destroy the state to leave nothing. That would require political cooperation. Instead we work as individuals to make the state redundant and watch is fade.
This is another problem of political campaigns such as kokesh. Just magically ending it wont work. People will quickly find their new leader when they are not ready for freedom. See the french revolution and Napoleon. Political work is entirely pointless. Nothing can ever be changed by it. What counts is what we do and where we can offer alternative solutions that compete with the state.
You make excellent points here. Chaos is no part of my goals, yet I do intend to be an Autarch, and for others to be able to do so as well. Replacing states with chaos won't do that. Cryptos are a model for movement forward towards Autarchy, and I seek development models and infrastructure that also does that.
3D printing is as transformative as distributed ledgers, and together these technologies open a window for freedom that forces wielding traditional power intend to close as soon as possible. It is important that we seize the opportunity before us, yet do not devolve into packs of name-calling children of the flies.
Thanks!
