And even then anarchism is a form of government. Not anti-governance. Though in Western Nations we aren’t taught politics, philosophy, etc. We are only taught propaganda.
Anarchism, The actual anarchism. Has nothing to do with laissez-faire. Anarcho-capitalists are oxymorons. Always figuratively, and often even literally. They’re capitalist, not anarchists. They just believe that their capital should give them them power over you. But not vice versa.
Anarchists and actual libertarians are not against governance. They just think it should be as flat and local as possible. That it shouldn’t be large hierarchical monolithic structures that people have a hard time understanding or lobbying. Structures that also have a hard time understanding individuals and serving them.
This is why I don’t like the Fediverse as much. Can you believe that loon got so many upvotes? Describes the average mentality around these parts, what a turn off.
I kinda don’t even think these conversations should happen until internet access is seen as a guaranteed right- through govt regulation or whatever. Otherwise, I feel like these takes are putting the cart before the horse - so to speak.

And fuck the rest of the world?
Anarchist nonsense. Zero government = total chaos. The strong eats the weak. Like now, but worse.

There’s a period. It reads “in all other matters, government fuck off”.
Which is consistent with the poster declaring their anarchism.

You’re getting downvoted because Lemmy. But you’re absolutely right. Laissez-faire doesn’t work.

If you think laissez-faire is a just hierarchy I have some carbon offsets to sell you.
Nothing laissez-faire about regulatory capture…
Not sure if OP meant “zero-government” because that’s not what anarchism as a political theory and movement is about.

Where do you think every website in the entire world is hosted? It’s America, obviously. We’re the only country with a Constitution after all!
