RE: Serious question: about a voluntaryist/anarchist society

in #voluntaryism8 years ago (edited)

Well the first step is to not react in fear to what MIGHT happen, and use that as a reason to not do anything. Solutions should be sought when a problem occurs. There is an element of RISK but that is life. I'd rather be FREE and take a risk and have to try to solve that than to have some monolithic entity (of 1 to infinite people) able to dictate how I live my life. Furthermore those power structures already exist, and have existed in EVERY ideology we have ever tried.

So there is a good chance it will happen, but finding a solution depends on resources and people available at the time to address the issue. We cannot know what that situation would be like so it'd be no more than making a random story up to explain it. Does that make any sense?

EDIT: Also... good question. You shouldn't be afraid to argue with anarchists. Other than being well researched if we are civil we can learn from each other. So far the anarchists on steemit seem to be really cool and not condescending. As we grow I'm sure some of the other type will arrive.

Hey! The conversations I've had with you have been very civil, it's true. You're the good kind. :)

Like wise. I will continue to try and keep it that way. I am human though and some days like anyone I'm sure I'll have a bad day where I say some bonehead thing. I'm usually pretty good about apologizing when I do such things. (At least I hope I am). I recognize your name pretty much whenever I see it so I can say I feel the same about you. :)
