Anarchy in theory is great and it is fairly obvious for small societies but it’s complicated for me to imagine how a a functional anarchist society would work with more people.
It would need very proactive and trustworthy people. Anyways I want to know how you all think of solving these problems.
The penalty system. I mean like what now is judges, cops, lawyers. I am guessing there will still be laws? I mean who would decide those anyways and if there were no laws ig it would be case specific. I guess people could do that without needing cops and if you get enough people you cpuld also find a system for that instead of laws
Military forces. I mean like an anarchist country could already be a target. So like if you have no defenses you disappear eventually and if that happens what was the point of having an anarchist country. And then like who is keeping all the weapons and stuff. I mean it could technically just once again be a non-for-profit and people who wqnt to fight just fight.
And some person just trying to take the power while getting people join to them. Even if they don’t get control a lot of people could die.
Like Idk maybe I am missing something or I’m dumb, well I am but like fkdjmed I was saying like all of these would need proactive, trustworthy, dedicated and good people. But I don’t think that’s the mayority of people, maybe I may be wrong but idk. Besides from a lot of people being agaonst the whole idea in the first place making it vey hard or almpst impoasible to mantain.
I still wanna hear what you all think of this ans other possible problems that you know of to like clear things up a little more for me, ty!
You don’t prove your claim, so “yes” is an equally valid answer.
Which is why it’s a thought experiment. Come on, this isn’t complicated. Proof doesn’t happen in a thought experiment. Instead, you make a compelling argument based on logic and relevant examples.
I gave an example of a situation that I believe is too complicated to function properly under anarchy. What is your counterargument?
Says who? Your conclusion of the thought experiment is completely vibes based.
The whole exercise is a farce, since you can’t prove a negative anyway.
But what are you trying to say? That hospitals wouldn’t work if they were implemented in the same exact manner as they are today. Ok, cool. The an anarchistic society would structure them differently.
Even your centralisation argument falls flat, because a central administration could be implemented via mandate where the people in question get clearly defined powers over processes (especially where these powers end). If these rules are determined by consensus and the mandate is revokable, it’s still within one definition of anarchism.
