just a militia defending

How much lie flavored chips have you been eating lately

Who?

keep in mind that an anarchist militia can easily be as large as modern day militaries

it's important not to compare small anarchist groups with large countries

if the entire country were anarchist, there'd be much larger numbers

I think organization easily beats size

it's also worth noting that anarchist societies aren't entirely devoid of organizations

Russians and Chinese would easily defeat the usa

only *coercive* organization

for example, if people get together and decide to make a group that operates in a certain way

and they elect to have a leader

as long as that group is not violently enforcing their will on others, they're free to do that

this is why many anarchists support an economic and political model very similar to today's

except with a lack of enforcement

I see

i still wouldnt feel safe

if the country doesnt exist, someone could slowly advance in different communities

social hierarchy would still exist lol

there'd still be leaders, celebrities, etc

there'd still be leaders and experts in certain fields, directing larger scale actions

So

the leaders own land

no

no one owns the land

uh

ok

if you're curious about how such a thing would work, look into decentralized moderation

stuff like the app aether uses it

the idea is basically that people can suggest certain authoritative actions

but no one is obligated to follow it

people *do* follow it willingly, if they believe that it's a good idea and respect the judgement of the person

think about how your own social groups work

do you just go "one person decides everything that happens and if you don't listen to them, well we'll beat the shit out of you"

or do you take it more fluidly and people suggest things, and naturally someone may become a sort of social leader that suggests good ideas that are followed

No but if most agree with them everyone follows

sure

but you're free to not follow

and just go do your own thing

or split up into two groups
