But yeah, you have to fight force with force
it doesn't make you a bad person/group
But when you have communist insurgents in your country, and you don't want to gulags
But when your movement is all about anti-hierarchy then you're kinda SOL when it comes time to organize against that.
exactly
anarchists face this repeatedly
So you gotta find a way to bridge that gap.
"oh here's a functioning example of anarchy"
Sure, it operated very well
and then you ask
"what happened?"
"oh a military came in and took it"
neat
great
very useful
obviously a boon to humanity
There's an argument that the US near 1776 was, but the issue there is that anarchists are also bad at maintenance.
The Amish make it work though.
Can't hate on that.
it'll work in an ethnically, culturally, and religiously homogenous group

the thing is with the Amish they've also never had to defend their land/culture
which I know they could but that also contributes to it
Yeah. Protected by the state.
not like Mormons who had to fight for it
~~I wish they won~~
I wouldn't describe Mormons as anarchist, at least from what I know of them.
Which isn't that much.
no they're not anarchist but I meant that they had their own unique culture
they declared themselves a city-state
and had to defend it
Yeah.
I was watching that documentary The West on Netflix a few months ago.
And one of the Mormon chicks was talking about how multiple wives is inherently feminist.
Sorta
Because the women work in shifts to please their husband so it frees up more of their time.
feminist is a wide net
It cracked me up.
Never heard that one before.
