Anarchism is aleft wingpolitical ideology (soft proposing: personal worldview) that wishes for the removal of nations, states, social classes and any form of authority. Anarchism has been around for hundreds of yearsbut it took off around the Enlightenmentbut it has gained traction in its' concise theory since Proudhon. It was and still is one of the most outspokenleft wingideologies but also one of the most criticized. Criticism of Anarchism ranges from being impossible to achieve to it’s followers being terrorists. Nonetheless Anarchism is still around today as a strong ideologyof the left.
So what aspects of anarchism should we talk about? We should talk about itspolicies,its philosophyabout human governingand if it can be achieved. You can bring up more but those are some starting points. (Should not even have to explain why these are contradictory)
We may also talk about theideologiesinfiltrations of Anarchism inspired like Anarcho-Capitalism, Anarcho-Communism and more. We should bring them up for reasons like comparison to Anarchism as they were inspired from it and can give us a better understanding of Anarchism as a whole. (Any prefix of suffix to Anarchism is an infiltration attempt. All anarchist organizations be cautious.)
Follow all of Nationstate’s rules, do not glorify violence or terrorists. (The reason why this thread can't really do much).

That a communist, equal and egalitarian society is going to maintain its’ self organically? At least Ancaps are honest about poor and disabled like me are pretty much SOL under their system. AnComs don’t have the integrity to admit it.
FUCK ANARCHISM!

Anarchism is an ideology encompassing both spectrums of the political binary. This is why ideologies like anarcho-capitalism exist. You wouldn't call any capitalist ideology left-wing, would you? On top of this, when looking at examples of anarchist societies and groups in history and the present, not all of them are left-wing. In fact, some possess beliefs that, if practiced by a government, would be considered extremely right-wing.

By nature, they're a threat to the state's existence, which shouldn't surprise anyone that the purpose of a state is to sustain its existence. Telling people not to glorify terrorists in the OP is already shooting anarchists on the foot. However, having dabbled in some Anarchist tendencies in the past, its tendencies inability to reconcile over how human society (Anarchist arguments against democracy and democratic political apparatus particularly) should be organized has dissuaded me from believing it can be a serious, non-divisive way to organize a society. They could be tolerant of a particular ideological group yesterday, and turn against them the next. As many troubles as states and institutions cause, the benefits they bring outweigh their cons as there are simply formal processes in which due diligence can be exercised for the benefit of the public.

This argument is particularly dumb because every political-economic system we've experienced in history was an impossible pipe dream until the day it wasn't. 200 years ago, the idea of a completely liberal democratic Europe constructed on national lines was a complete and utter fantasy - now it's our reality.

Only if you have a backwards idea of left versus right. Anarchism is as far left as one can go, with anarchists seeking a total abolition of all forms of authority, laws, and hierarchy, including capitalism (which is inherently authoritarian, involuntary, and hierarchical).

Anarchism is a purely left wing political ideology, if it's not left wing then it's expressly not anarchist.

Anarchism has been attempted more than once, and each time it wasn't sustainable.
That our current society works doesn't mean your pipe dream will.

If you're looking at it from that very narrow lens, then yes. But no such ideology has ever been practiced. All anarchist societies today and in history have achieved what most people would consider anarchism, which is the complete nonexistence of the StateTM (a term separate from government, but similar).
The only issue is that, as you mention in your post, they never completely abolished hierarchies, as the cultural/social ones seem to persist. The note about capitalism is subjective and/or debatable.

Some Austrian guy in 1826: 'Democracy has been attempted more than once, and each time it wasn't sustainable. Just look at what happened in France. That our current society works doesn't mean your pipe dream of liberal nation-states will. Now let's all raise a toast to the health and long reign of Charles X, and the return of the natural order of things'
