mutualism

central planning

Hmmm. I wonder how you achieve those things in an incredibly diverse scenario with millions/billions of people with varying desires. It's almost like you'd have to create some form of government that relied on citizens voting, potentially through elected representatives. Almost like a democracy of some sort. So, not anarchism.

    I don't think many anarchists are arguing for societies comprised of a billion people...Almost like they are explicitly wanting to go in the opposite direction and eliminate such a state.

    And just again for clarity, I am not an anarchist, but I also think it's silly to get this worked up over an ideology it's not even clear people have ever spent any time trying to understand in good faith.

    Well....too fucking bad. There's 8+ billion of us. And these "anarchists" use society's infrastructure and social services. So as long as they stay plugged in, they can take their anarchism and practice it inside their own homes, which are plugged into a non-anarchist infrastructure.

    I'm not that worked up. About as worked up as any ignorant person can make me, which typically maxes out at moderate annoyance. And as far as I'm concerned, anarchists are some of the most potently ignorant people around.
