Posed similar questions about communism in the past. I’m just trying to understand, I ask because I know there is a reasonable contingent of anarchists here. If you have any literature to recommend I’d love to hear about it. My current understanding is, destruction of current system of government (violently or otherwise) followed by abolition of all law. Following this, small communities of like minded individuals form and cooperate to solve food, safety, water and shelter concerns.
Noooo it’s easy to mistake but pretend everything is exactly as if there was a government but there actually is not a government 😉
Anarchy doesn’t mean no government. It means a non-hierarchical government. Parts of the US government are essentially anarchic already, like the various committees and subcommittees in the House/Senate that operate largely independent of each other, make their own decisions, and then present those decisions to other groups or implement them in other ways. The House/Senate in the US themselves are heterarchic, in that each senator/representative is (theoretically) on par with every other, they’re all peers, and decision-making is equally shared. The executive branch – or better yet, the military – is hierarchic in the most traditional sense. It’s not an all-or-nothing thing.
Quite literally how everyone in the comments sounds.
