Also, your comparison is comically weak. Democracy is practiced across the world, in nations both powerful and not. Anarchism exists only in some random region of nowhere and in the heads of LARPers and edgy 16 year olds. Democracy works and is a realistic philosophy. Anarchism is not.
I accept that the syndicates of Catalonia and the Black army of Ukraine were anarchists. What do you think was anarchist that you think anarchists don't think were anarchist?
4 or 5 hundred years ago, someone might have said this about universal suffrage:
Timocracy is practiced across the world, in nations both powerful and not. Universal suffrage exists only in some random region of nowhere and in the heads of LARPers and edgy 16 year olds. Timocracy works and is a realistic philosophy. Universal suffrage is not.
Unlike universal suffrage, anarchism has not lasted after it's implementation. Universal suffrage is now widely practiced and hasn't failed after it was implemented. Anarchism had it's chance to prove itself, and it failed. Try again.
I've heard some anarchists call Catalonia and the Black Army anarchist, but when someone points out a shortcoming, they'll change their tune. Anarchism, until it starts failing.
