Anarchism Discussion Thread

Postby Jewish Underground State » Sat Jun 04, 2022 6:22 pm

The thread for Discussing anarchism in all its forms. Don't try to justify real life anarchist terrorists. Don't justify any real life terrorist attacks following anarchism. Don't justify terrorist anarchist groups. Follow NationState's rules on this thread please.

This is for discussing Anarchism as an ideology only, what it means and debate about its policies. (And talk about many of it's other ideologies like Anarcho-Communism etc)

Two things:

1. Anarchism is hella cringe.

2. You need more for your OP or the mods will lock it.

Well, where do we start?

Is true anarchism even possible? Wouldn't there be at least some type of leadership in a stateless area?

So, then, if true anarchism is difficult to nearly impossible, what will define anarchism? Just a stateless society? Would tribes be considered stateless?

This is an interesting discussion.

Many people tried to make anarchism work in other ways. Mainly by having some state control but giving the people a lot of freedoms.

iirc anarchy (and not chomskyite bullshit anarchist philosophy) is the absence of all hierarchy which is not necessarily conferred voluntarily as opposed to the (marxist) communist vision of a stateless society, which still implies a degree of hierarchical organisation
"It was this alone that drew so many Europeans to colonial North America: the dream in the settler mind of each man becoming a petty lord of his own land. Thus, the tradition of individualism and egalitarianism in America was rooted in the poisoned concept of equal privileges for a new nation of European conquerors." J. Sakai

So, then, the different *types* of anarchy, and whether or not they are true anarchies or just anarchies in name, is what I think can be covered now that we have a definition you provided.

The only anarchist society I can think of at the moment is the Free Territory formed in Ukraine during the Russian civil war.

There is Anarcho-capitalism. It's complete bs. It just replaces the state with insurance companies

anarchists reject the notion that organisation == hierarchy i think
