RE: Fearing Freedom and Keeping Others in Chains [DTube + Text]

Some kind of government always existed in humanity. Maybe this doesn't tell us government is necessary, but it says something about us.
I know so many different kinds of anarchists, that word almost means nothing to me.

Sort:  

Well, for a long time it had been here. Always existed? No. It was created by humans, therefore at one point it didn't yet exist for us to feel the need to create it in the first place ;) It will be around for a long time as I see it. Government isn't going anywhere anytime soon :/

Anarchism has been polluted indeed. Many vandalize and ignore morality and property, calling themselves anarchists, but they are ignorant of rules (morality) while declaring no more rulers. There is a difference.

Yeah I mean, even in primitive life someone is/was the leader of the tribe. That's a form of government.

Anarcho-communists and anarcho-capitalists are both saying they are the only true anarchy, that's just an example. IMO there are many (abstract) ways to imagine voluntary social organization. It's stuff we mostly read on books and not see in action, so, difficult to talk about.
