Comments on: What would an Anarchist society look like? http://dbzer0.com/blog/what-would-an-anarchist-society-look-like A bug in the code of the universe. Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:12:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: NonConformity http://dbzer0.com/blog/what-would-an-anarchist-society-look-like/comment-page-1#comment-90987 NonConformity Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:16:25 +0000 http://dbzer0.com/?p=3324#comment-90987 I am of the persuasion that anarchism can only work in a decentralized setting. And when I say decentralization, I mean the decentralization of people. This means that there would be small towns that are widespread throughout the world. I don't believe that self-governance could possibly work in a centralized setting, like in a city, or a state with an incredibly high population density. There would be too much conflict between opposing forces. I believe that the decentralization of people is also tactic for humans to reach equilibrium between their own seemingly insatiable desire for material goods and the well-being of the Earth. I think the problem goes deeper than capitalism vs. communism. I am a libertarian communist, though. I am of the persuasion that anarchism can only work in a decentralized setting.

They have drug and crime problems, and from what I understand, little organisation. Christiania is a free-market individualist anarchist society that allows capitalism.

Too many to comment on this morning and since the conversation is not threaded, I am unsure whether the integrity would be maintained. Instead, I'll mention an observation by Robert Sapolsky where the alpha individuals in a troop of baboons had died and the survivors lived harmoniously (as a anarchic society). It seems that these alpha-types are by and large sociopaths. These are the same types who run for public offices, run businesses, and become managers. The problem, I fear, is that even if humans could arrive at an anarchic equilibrium, some alpha-assclown would "see" the need to exert control, and we'd be back in the same place soon enough by fabricating another control structure based on fear and other incentives.
