I'm sure there are folks who consider themselves anarchists but haven't actually considered the philosophy in a functioning form once state and property is abolished. I'm not trying to be rude, I just mostly see anarchism talked about in the context of attempting to exist within this society. I don't think it would be so simple, for anarchism to exist even though one generation there would have to be constant adjustments and decisions and established norms and practices that allow society to move forward. I don't mean to say that it isn't worth doing, I think it could eventually be a better world but it would be generations from now and even then there will still be the need to protect and keep society healthy, like an ecosystem there needs to be some oversight in place for the habitat and members of it to all exist in some equilibrium, not everyone is going to agree on things all the time.
Yeah I fully agree with this, I just got heated because the other guy seemed to imply that anarchism was inherently doomed because humanity is naturally violent or whatever, it's a horribly nihilistic worldview.
Yeah TubularTittyFrog is a pretty notorious misanthrope on this site.
