Americans use "anarchy" to mean that all decisions are made individually; that there is no governing body, authority or hierarchy.
It's a stateless society with no rulers.
They promise it will be orderly and safe, and usher in a better world, but I remain sceptical.
anarchy is only possible nowadays with a prerequisite: fugere urbem. then again, not only anarchy.
What's the difference of today and a century almost ago? I mean the city of Barcelona had anarchy for two years...
16% of world’s population lived in rural settings vs 56% nowadays 🤡 barcelona had a strong rebellion in the 1800s, spain as a whole, but the only canton that managed to last (like six months) was cartagena, soon supressed by the government. then came ww1, followed by anarchist strikes, a national civil war and franco. freetown christiania, in denmark, seems to be a much better example.
Maybe yes. There are other examples also btw. For example the city of Thessaloniki here in Greece with ζηλωτές during the Byzantine times. The case of machnovtsina under Nestor Machno in eastern Ukraine was also interesting.
great examples. oaxaca was another good one. in the end, I believe it is possible for those who want to be part of it. say “screw the government”, go to countryside and resist with as many people as possible. towns will soon “become” smart cities. if it’s impossible nowadays, let alone in the future. rural settings are the only way, even as a remote chance to survive and prosper outside this ring, being an anarchist (which seems to me the only natural way per se) or not.
Since i am living in a semi abandoned village i have to agree 😃.
lucky you, my fren, lucky you 🤤
I still have a couple of years till departure 🫡
I am here more than ten years and i really enjoy so far. I have no idea what the future will bring, but i think it worthed the effort
best way of living, bar none. I used to spend three to four months a year in countryside. in 2019-2021, actually, on the coast. then I had to come to hell of concrete… definitely worth the effort 🤝
The difference between democracy and anarchy is that in democracy the majority impose it's will on minorities. That is not necessary in anarchy. I can't think now any good example. I hope you get the difference.
Btw there is another word for the chaotic situation that impunity causes and this word is ασυδοσία which i cannot translate accurately in English but it means that you don't give report to anyone. Btw because of ασυδοσία, i am not a liberal, since liberal economy tends to it, meaning that economy needs rules, so free economy, that liberals propose when it comes to economics, tends to impunity. Did i confuse you?
No, not confused. Interesting info.
The closest English translation seems to be "impunity".
But the word for impunity in greek is ατιμωρησία which is an exact translation. Keep in mind that the Greek language has something more than two or three million words, don't remember exactly, and English has less than a million...
republic is supposed to be the principle of a neutral government that only concerns itself with ensuring rule of law and respect between people
