Questions to Anarchists

[Drace]

Lets assume we took down the state...

1. What is to happen if lets say me and my greedy town get together and plan to attack other towns?

2. What if one area becomes more technologically advanced then another?

3. If anarchy tends to go toward a minimalist revolution, would it not have to be global?

4. How can anarchists true goal be achieved of having no authority? Theres authority in a family.

If anarchy tends to go toward a minimalist revolution, would it not have to be global?

i think this is a false premise. Every anarchist I know advocates global revolution.


How can anarchists true goal be achieved of having no authority? Theres authority in a family.

The idea of authority is misused I think on both sides. Anarchists have always had leaders and people that seem to have positions of power, but these people are always immediately recallable. As for families, most anarchist's extend their critique to the family as well and is perhaps one of the things that sets them aside from Marxists who take a more class-centric focus (this is not to say that anarchists don't focus on class).

I asked whether anarchy would have to be global and someone answered no.

And what about the other two questions?

1. Militias from round the area block your advance and ask what the fuck you were thinking.

2. Anarchism espouses mutual aid, solidarity, and freedom of movement. Technological advances are usually the product of collaborative research spanning many areas. Technological advances will also be shared with others. If all else fails folk passing through, will notice and bring others to replicate the tech.

3.Anarchists espouse global revolution as the prime goal, or at least large enough liberated areas so that remaining pockets of reaction are beaten back before a final offensive.

4. Family structures should and will be reworked. However anarchists are not against authority, but against irrational and coercive authority. If I consent to your authority and can withdraw my consent to your authority, we don't necessarily mind.

Accident.

Sorry for the double post.

Well go at night, quietly.


Ok what if, at night...I break into my neighbors home and loot few things. Is my neighbor subjected to deal with me or the militia?

Some form of community tribunal would hold a trial to ascertain guilt or innocence, if found guilty, you would provide some sort of restitution to your neighbor, like doing some of his/her housework for a month.

1. What is to happen if lets say me and my greedy town get together and plan to attack other towns?

what do you thing we would stay there and let you kill us?:)we would defend ourselves,if we were aware of the danger(generally danger,not knowing you attack) there would be some more defensing measures,there would be people volunteering awake at nights,and take care of the defence etc.The danger will vanish when there is global Anarchism.


2. What if one area becomes more technologically advanced then another?

If such thing happens when the "advanced" area-community is approached by others they will share what they did and they will help.Of course at the near areas and those who are in contact with they would share the whole thing and as a chain everyone shares this to those he knows the technological advance will spread all over.


3. If anarchy tends to go toward a minimalist revolution, would it not have to be global?

no,there isnt such basing requirement,but our goal and our final "target" is to bring global Anarchism.It would be very hard,near possible to start all over the world a revolution and at the same time all end and end victorious for Anarchists.


4. How can anarchists true goal be achieved of having no authority? Theres authority in a family.

yes now there is,in Anarchism there wont be.The kids will be grown up by the community and when they are capable they will get their own way.

Lets assume we took down the state...

1. What is to happen if lets say me and my greedy town get together and plan to attack other towns?

1. Just what Joe Hill's Ghost said. While Anarchists are generally opposed to violence because it is coercive, we feel it's justified in self-defense against another individual or group that wants to oppress another.


2. What if one area becomes more technologically advanced then another?

2. Then the technology spreads to the other communes, if they find it useful.


3. If anarchy tends to go toward a minimalist revolution, would it not have to be global?

3. I don't know any anarchists who are not for a global revolution.


4. How can anarchists true goal be achieved of having no authority? Theres authority in a family.

4. Once again, refer to Joe Hill's Ghost. The anarchist position can basically be summed up as this: we don't want anyone forcing you to do anything you do not want to do.

I was going to reply to each of the original questions, but I would only be re-iterating Joe Hill's Ghost and Rorschach have already said. I am in full agreement with them.
