LWDT V: Completing the Five Thread Plan

Pretty much the most solid, still-existing example of an Anarchist movement.

Society =/= Movement

It's an Anarchist movement that's created a functioning Anarchist society.

FYI Somalia's more or less an example of AnCapistan in action than actual Anarchism.

Not really. The government didn't truly exist, and warlords ruled the nation. Look how anarchism turned out.

Hence why I said it's an example of AnCapistan in action.

Ah yes, Sri Lanka. Quite a major world player. Also, Sri Lanka itself still has a state.

Those goalposts sure did a quick shift.

Since when is Sri Lanka an anarchist society?

I never said all of Sri Lanka is an Anarchist society. That specific part, however, is one.

I know, that's why I said "besides your views" because I didn't want to misrepresent your views. Rather, I was criticizing the way you brought up your post.

Somalia is filled with several factions.

Fair enough. Should've specified that there needs to be an eradication of both Capitalism AND the state at the same time for Anarchism to work.

Which is nearly impossible.

Not necessarily. Give the people a big enough reason to take action, and it can be forced to tumble down.

Capitalism gives you monetary gain through the markets.

Define "people"? Because people have various ideologies with some being radical.

Statists everywhere are quaking in their boots, anarchism is super powerful. :^)

[Democratic Communist Federation]

Oh I agree. We need a state. Otherwise, humanity cannot function without it.

The state, in its present form, is inseparable from capitalism. We do, IMO, require some form of federation or large-scale collective. A state? I suppose if there were some way to divorce it from capitalism. I am not so sure.
