Still bullshit you have to probably pay court and lawyer fees and waste however much time it takes to be detained and in and out of court.

If you're poor you're fucked either way. "oh after many stressful months they said I am innocent! As a prize, I owe anywhere from several hundred to several thousands of dollars to the state and/or my lawyer, just because this one jacakss cop was in a bad mood one day and didn't like my face, or the car I drove, or the way I wore my clothes, etc."

    They can ask you where you're going and some general questions about what's in your possession currently.

    They can ask but I'm not answering. "I don't answer questions. Am I free to go?"

    Even before I learned not to talk to them, I'd answer them with non answers.

    Cop: "where are you going?" 17 year old me: pointing forward "that way." Cop: "OK... where are you coming from?" Me: pointing behind myself "That way."

    yeah I got pulled like this too. midnight, empty stretch of 2 lane country road, and some jackass cop tailgating me with his brights on for several miles while I made attempts to let him pass (didn't know he was a cop yet). He pulled me and claimed I was driving erratically.

    lmao first time meeting a cop?

    sorry that happened to you and good luck. hire a lawyer and do not talk to the police. not one word, unless your lawyer tells you to say it.

    So, this question is often asked and the real answer is that due to the very nature of anarchism, no one can really say for sure. To prescribe one system for "how it will all work" is sort of antithetical to anarchy. Emma Goldman touches on this in her essay "Anarchism" (iirc, someone correct me if i'm wrong lol).
    There are lots of different schools of thought, however. It's not like there haven't been attempts to answer the question, its just that they should all only be considered as possibilities, whereas the actual implementation may draw from all of these ideas or none of them, possibly even shifting according to the needs and abilities of the people over any given period of time.

    Here's a good resource as well: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionI.html
