Question to anarchists

[Subversive Pessimist]

How are you supposed to implement anarchism? If there is just a small percentage of the working class joining the revolution, how can you be sure that things are not going to go really, really, really chaotic? How can you ensure that there won't be some reactionaries trying to create authority?

Through building a large revolutionary movement which challanges capitalism and the state at every given opporunity using creativity and initiative.

You cannot create a communist society if you only have a small percentage of the working class fighting a revolution. All you have then is either a vangaurd of revolutionaries leading a blind working class or you have some armed militants trying to fight for something the rest of the population have no idea about, or worse, dont care about.

You can't stop that from happening. It is inevitable that someone or some people are going to attempt to subvert the revolution. We just have to be diligent and make sure that they are stopped.

Thank you.

What would we do with guys like Bush and Kerry? Shoot them in the heads, torture them, imprison them, or give them a new chance? Do you believe they would even consider to go from exploiting the poor, supporting murder and torture, to being a nice person working with others in the interests of humanity?

For what purpose? We want to create a society based on peace and love. We do not want to create a society based vengence and violence. Executing them, torturing them etc is an act of vengence which as a concept is absurd. Is getting one up on someone in such an extreme way necessary.

I very much doubt it. These people will most probably be in active opposition to the revolution. They will go into exile, commit suicide or be killed in the process.

well imprisoning Bush or Kerry would make us hypocrites. the revolution wouldnt be successful if prisons are not abolished.

No prisons? Where do all the criminals go?

And don't give me the "our current system causes crime!", you will still get criminals in any society, no matter how egalitarian.

To rehab...
or "to the other side"
Or maybe some prisons might be kept

Prove it.

Did you know the modern prison system is only a couple centuries old and that historically the majority of societies have not had prisons?

Check out Augustun Souchey's "With the Peasants of Aragon", delves into this topic.

People would be re-educated to serve the common good, which would work for most offenders, or they would be exhiled or worse if they never rehabilitated.

Rehabilitation would be the best way to go.
