The reality is we are always in anarchy it’s just that people have to believe in the legitimacy of this or that institution.
Just so I know we are on the same page. I argue that socialism could exist, but would be ancap with contractual giving up of property to a society. Then it could be judicially enforced. But sorta sad, like legalizing slavery XD
Do you think a mutualist society would live peaceably beside an ancap one if everyone in the former thought all the capitalists in the latter were exploitative tyrants lording it over their neighboring working comrades? Especially if some thought such tyrants deserved to have their heads impaled on pikes?
Putting aside the intellectual, I find it pointless to argue with people who have deep-seated anger and revenge fantasies. Particular ones that seem to be random and outside of any rational point or objective. It is unlikely that they are listening to what you’re saying.
It’s as if he thinks that one can be scared into either ‘aw shucks! I’m a failure, you say?’ or ‘oh no! someone wants my head on a pike’. As if they get the last word, they get to ‘win’ at the internet.
Wait, what? That’s not how it works?
