Those aren’t anarchists, they’re synarchists.

The things they do like pooling resources require governing over. Governing.

Just do a simple fucking web search before you comment, this is embarassing.

I skimmed the article and it does seem to agree with the comment you responded to, no? Genuinely asking, I don’t know anything about this.

Anarchism is against hierarchy and for horizontal organization. Not disorder. In the comic these are anarchists (they are punk rock representations of 1800s anarchist philosophers Bakunin, Kropotkin and Proudhon) and they are acting according to the principles of anarchism, as anarchists do irl.

“Governing over something” is not the core of the issue that anarchism is against. It’s hierarchy. You can have a horizontally, democratically organized collective “govern over”, or in other words manage something. They will just do it through collective decision making with no rulers or subordinates.

OP here is trying to invent a new word for what they see in the comic because they don’t understand what anarchism means.

Yeah, it really is.

Let’s use your link, if that’s the level of discussion you’re on.

Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is against all forms of authority and seeks to abolish the institutions

Literally the first sentence.

These people demonstrate a community so large that pooling the resources will surely be written down. That or it won’t work like in the comic. Thus they’ll end up making the very same institutions they claim to abolish.

These are a minimally governed commune. Minarchy, synarchy, but not anarchy.

Quite embarrassing indeed.

that depends on which definition you go off of tho idk about their link but in the begginnings of the industrial age anarchism was redefined for propaganda use and didnt actually mean the complete eradication of government but instead the creation of syndicates and communes
