RE: Can Complete Anarchy Truly Exist?
Well, the first thing that has to go is government. (Government = mind control)
Once that happens, and we move to a protectorate, or something, then we can talk about anarchy.
Two things that need to come first is that everyone needs to learn to defend themselves. How many movies do we see where the gunman protects the village. In The Magnificent Seven it should have been the bandits ride towards town, the town, all equipped with long guns, shoots them all dead. However, we still look for someone to protect us. And we bend knee to anyone who says they will (even if they don't).
Next piece is learning to negotiate. We do not learn to communicate; what we learn is a form of verbal aggression. We assume the win-loss narrative, and thus, we are on the defensive, or the attack at the beginning of any negotiation. With a win-win mentality, you are forthright and open. You know that your needs are important, and that there needs are important.
I know many people who, if there was anarchy tomorrow, wouldn't change a thing. And then there are those who will whine and whimper asking someone to please take away the responsibility.
Responsibility is distributed in a social space, as we are limited in capacity as individuals to cover all angles, especially when the long-term is involved. With money being the most central abstract representation of belief / currency / social value, I'd say there's a solution to a good middle ground with the advent of blockchains. Total anarchy is possible within an individual, but by definition.. impossible in a social context, which is what society is about.
"However, we still look for someone to protect us. And we bend knee to anyone who says they will (even if they don't)".
Sad but true. Because we don;t have a role model of a totally self-governing society (though anyone can remember the cases where individuals unite to solve problems by themselves). Once such society evolves and survives, people will slowly start thinking otherwise. But I don't know what should happen to make this possible.
