Neither can taking everyone as they are now and putting them in anarchy
Many will also die from the sudden dissolving of hierarchy because they’ll try to reassert it
I don't think you understand how it would be implemented
do you think people are going to storm the Whitehouse with guns or something
No
I have no idea how it would be implemented
ok
well let me explain that to you
Isn’t the main theory just that tech or something will liberate people’s existence from the state
And then it will just kinda slough off
anarchism is a very communal and local thing. an example I could see in the United States is maybe a neighborhood coming together and forming self organized community defenses so they wouldn't have to call the police. they also could continue and secede further from the state.
Wouldn’t that just get crushed by the state
well we've seen this happen in other countries
Exarchia in Athens Greece is an example
Never heard of it
it's a really dope anarchist society basically
you should Google it
So it’s basically a chunk of Athens the government leaves alone
Why do they
yeah and they have like
like actually free
cool
also most buildings are squatted so there is no rent
:)
How many people live there
oh I'm not sure
I'm not even sure they'd keep track
but Athens is very densely populated
40% of people who live in Greece live in Athens
It’s a European capital, that’s kinda expected
Those things are huge
Seems to be fairly old
1800s
Why have they been allowed to exist this long
well they do defend their shit from riot police
Google "exarchia riot"
or YouTube
Ok so there’s a law that basically protects it
From like actual military
After a 1973 thing
