I see

2019-03-16 02:18:52 UTC  

and of course the majority go along with it due to the threat of violence, which then further reinforces the minority rule

2019-03-16 02:18:58 UTC  

either due to "well they're in charge"

2019-03-16 02:19:05 UTC  

or just due to "I don't want to upset the norm"

2019-03-16 02:19:35 UTC  

but imagine if the majority of the US just said "fuck the police and govenrment, we're gonna live how we want"

2019-03-16 02:19:52 UTC  

the first thing that would happen is that there'd be a lot of violence by the government/police/military

2019-03-16 02:19:52 UTC  

It wouldnt work imo

2019-03-16 02:19:55 UTC  

such as what happens in a protest

2019-03-16 02:20:08 UTC  

the majority would outnumber, but have to self defend

2019-03-16 02:20:40 UTC  

now, I'm not *quite* sure how that would play out

2019-03-16 02:20:51 UTC  

since the majority has always gone along with those in power

2019-03-16 02:20:58 UTC  

and it's only the minority who struggle to free themselves

2019-03-16 02:21:01 UTC  

rather than enforce their will

2019-03-16 02:21:05 UTC  

or rather

2019-03-16 02:21:14 UTC  

a majority follows one minority that wants power

2019-03-16 02:21:21 UTC  

while another minority tries to free itself from that power

2019-03-16 02:21:29 UTC  

i see

2019-03-16 02:21:32 UTC  

it's an absolute mess tbh

2019-03-16 02:21:45 UTC  

anyway that's the anarchist struggle and the problems we face

2019-03-16 02:21:53 UTC  

all ideologies have their own struggle though

2019-03-16 02:22:01 UTC  

yep

2019-03-16 02:22:12 UTC  

such as under capitalism where you end up with growing wealth inequality, and stupidly high consumption

2019-03-16 02:22:37 UTC  

or how capitalism leads to inevitable large police/military and gov control

2019-03-16 02:22:41 UTC  

in order to enforce and regulate it all

2019-03-16 02:23:17 UTC  

anarcho-capitalism, while not anarchism, takes on some anarchist principles and ideas in order to avoid this overregulation and to try and give power to the individuals who earn money

2019-03-16 02:23:37 UTC  

I used to be ancap but realized that ownership and capitalism are what were causing the problems

2019-03-16 02:24:06 UTC  

i see

2019-03-16 02:24:08 UTC  

but yeah. I support a peaceful and free society

2019-03-16 02:24:13 UTC  

which is why I'm an anarchist

2019-03-16 02:24:23 UTC  

:)

2019-03-16 02:24:28 UTC  

:\)

2019-03-16 02:24:39 UTC  

it's just that's a utopia that's a long way off unfortunately

2019-03-16 02:24:57 UTC  

Well i hope you achieve your goals in your country eventually

2019-03-16 02:25:07 UTC  

thanks

2019-03-16 02:25:21 UTC  

if you look around I'm sure you'll find that you adopt a lot of anarchistic principles in your own life

2019-03-16 02:25:33 UTC  

ok

2019-03-16 02:25:48 UTC  

hopefully that clarifies anything you were curious about

2019-03-16 02:26:45 UTC  

Yes it does :) thank you and good luck

2019-03-16 03:41:28 UTC

2019-03-16 03:41:35 UTC
