>>7453552>a faith in humanities ability to govern themselvesDepending on you definition there, its what the western world is doing, pretty well actually.
Well, when you graffiti the anarchist symbol on a wall you are ruining a wall someone else build and payed for. It is (presumably) not yours to paint on (and just in case you are one of those "might makes right" nuts, no, the owner should not have to spend his time defending that wall from people like you, you should know not to)
The law is (apart from bureaucracy) in the case of the west, just simple liberal values:
Dont harm anyone else, let them have their stuff, dont prevent them from living their life and as long as they do the same, its all good.
But im curious to get your take on how the anarchist 'state' would uphold its "core values" if not in the same way? How would it deal with anti-anarchists/vandals/counter-revolutionaries?
Sorry to say, both revolution and anarchy are egocentric dreams, only perfect if you can block out the screams of all that would have to suffer for you to have your chance at being the lone wolf survivor or the frontline firebrand.
