RE: Can we handle the full freedom and responsibility of anarchy? Not yet... but we can learn to!

I disagree entirely. Everywhere you said -'people', swap that for 'plantation slaves' and see how patronising and paternalistic it sounds.
Nobody wanted to abolish plantations.
Any slave who was comfortable in their life was free to stay on as a volunteer.
We don't want to destroy anyone's safety blanket, we just want people free to opt out.
Anarchism isn't about destroying institutions, it's about each individual getting to choose their level of association, if any, with those institutions.

Sort:  

The poster has built a belief system that includes an absolute Moral Truth and The Path leading there, and he seems to arrogantly present himself as the sole judicator of who has a grasp of true reality, or a true grasp of reality, I'm not sure which. How dare you infidel disagree 8-)?
