Anarchists are allowed to vote. What are you talking about?

    They can vote to poll consensus but there is no mechanism to enforce a policy based on a vote; following the vote is voluntary. Not making a point here per se, just clarifying what we mean by "vote". (Unless the above is wrong?)

    All of anarchism is technically voluntary. The community would come up with a way to emforce it.

    Wouldn't having a decision enforced on you make following it not a voluntary choice?

    If the community can enforce involuntary decisions on someone as the result of a vote, isn't that democracy, not anarchy?

    Anarchism - Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish institutional authority, coercion, and social hierarchies—most notably the state and capitalism—replacing them with stateless societies based on voluntary association, mutual aid, and free cooperation.

    Yes, in our NON-ANARCHIST society, anarchists are allowed to vote. If anarchists got what they wanted, then voting wouldn't be a thing because the state wouldn't be a thing.
