Their lives are blissful… free from the burden of self doubt.

Revolutionary Spain represents an example of extremely effective armed resistance to the rise of fascist forces backed by Hitler and Mussolini, surviving for years. By contrast, many established democracies collapsed relatively quickly when invaded.

For more information, you can check out an anarchist FAQ’s answer to the question, “Does revolutionary Spain show that libertarian socialism can work in practice?”. For a more current example of an anarchist society working in practice, you could also check out the Zapatista movement, an anarchist society which today consists of at least 300,000 people.

If you’re unfamiliar with anarchism, you probably have some misconceptions about it, so I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, because it’s almost definitely nothing like what you think.

        Oh yeah lol you’re the person posting about ideologies in a shitpost thread.

        Also my issue was with how you were wording things, just like the other person you were agruing with, but we were in agreement.

        Nah its ok, you can leave me out if it. Cheers.

          Yes, the word “good” is so inscrutable and mysterious, whatever could it mean.

          The other guy making that argument literally self-identified as a narcissist, by the way.

          but we were in agreement.

      that is a really weird bar to have to clear. “well, your anarchy doesn’t conform to our borders, so it doesn’t count” ???

        challenging something that has never worked long term, yeah really weird (a community is a nice example if thats all the proof you think you need). If you think it works, go for it mate. Teach your neighbour how to make bread and trade in seashells but youll have to cross your fingers each day that everyone in your community continues to think like you do.

      anarchism rejects nations, so why should its success be judged based on national borders? a successful society is av successful society
