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.

bc they're Dutch

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.

Dealing with men is labor.
