The “not making decisions for me” part is a very Trump-like thing to say. Society only works by compromise.

The part where we all die, because a foreign army invades us, and no one is doom guy.

Part of anarchism that bothers me is that without central authority keeping track of everything my ability to find specific help I need would be solely dependent on whether I or any of my friends know person with that particular set of skills.

The part where I don’t get to make decisions for others. Not really looking forward to the clash that happens when the 2/3s consensus system of Johnsonville upriver comes into conflict with the majority consensus system of Tablesville downriver over the matter of what level of water treatment is necessary before dumping.

    I say this as someone who self describes as a communist, and an anarchist: Most self described anarchists in the imperial core are just anti-cop socdems. The lack of a revolutionary success on the scale or recency as the USSR or PRC has really allowed the term to erode its meaning over the last century; no random lib can hold you to a standard of ideological precepts if they dont have some historical boogeyman to hold you to!

    The most principled anarchists (in my experience) are way closer to your average Marxist-leninist than the state would like to admit. They just organize themselves differently.
