    Anarchistan? Is that implying the ‘stan’ prefix means some run-down place. That’s really bordering onto some racist shit, and I’m already straining my tolerance for you as is.

    Believe it or not, most people are not going to want to invite bears into their backyard especially if aware of the dangers. If the town decides to make rules against it, they town can act on it and solve the problem. Anarchism is not do whatever you want, whenever you want. It’s horizontal organisation and mutual consent.

      -istan just means “land of”, I picked anarchistan because it had a ring to it and I was in Kazakhstan a couple months ago.

      Believe it or not, most people are not going to want to invite bears into their backyard especially if aware of the dangers.

      I picked that example because that happened when a bunch of libertarians decided to make their own town., though usually they dont get beyond 1 person scamming the rest.

      What if the woman who wants to feed bears donuts stops consenting to the town rules? Do they have the authority to stop or remove her?

        You’re (deliberately?) bendng the definition of aufthority in order to score a point. You know that what you describe doesn’t fit the anarchist critique of “authority”.

          I’m asking these open ended questions to give you an opportunity to explain what authority means within an anarchist context and how a community can deal with someone doing something that is potentially harmful to the rest of the community.

          score a point.

          If someone thinks anarchists complaining about communists instead of engaging with the systems that actually have power is silly, how do you think they’d feel about the reverse?

        I know what it means. I also know it’s used by racist chuds to talk bad about places, and you were using it to highlight a town where bears would run rampant… Not a good look if you had no ill intentions.

        Libertarians are not Anarchists. Ancaps steal anarchist ‘branding’ to push capitalist bullshit. It’s like the Nazis calling themselves socialists, it means nothing and their ideology is not related.
