RE: Anarchism Versus Mythology

in #anarchy7 years ago

I am not an anarchist, not because it seems to me utopian, the reality is that today it may seem utopian and tomorrow be the most palpable reality, who imagined 300 years ago the world in which we live today; absolutely nobody.

I am not an anarchist for differing in many points, I do not want to comment on that, but rather I want to ask you a question to know what an anarchist thinks about it.

Anarchism is only possible if people want to be anarchists, but if people want to have a state then you can not do anything but try to convince them, you can not force them to be anarchists.

Then what I want to ask you; How do you think you could make a transition to anarchism?

Greetings.

Decentralization is the only way. The breaking up of political units to more and more local and autonomous governance. But you're right, you can't force anyone to be anything or even convince people to change.

That in my opinion is the main problem, the fact that people do not want to integrate into this society makes it impossible for me to think that it is really feasible, at least in the nearness.

The communists fixed the problem by imposing on people, but their excessive control instead of liberation ends up drowning both the economy and society itself.

I don't mean to sound glib, but I suspect you spend most of your life living as an anarchist already. Do you seek voluntary associations and exchanges with others, or do you initiate coercive force?

What does the government do now that is essential to your life and well-being?

Although not entirely, yes to a large extent, but it is irrelevant.

I am not directly opposed to anarchism, I am very libertarian, but what I am saying is that many people are pro-states and usually these people are the majority in almost all countries, and although you could reduce it to a minority, I do not think they will ever disappear, What is it like to have an anarchic state if you have inhabitants who want to have a State?

I plan to touch on that topic in a future post in this series. "OK, so what can we do now?"

Perfect, I'll follow you then.
