  And it doesn’t mean that there are no rules but not rulers.

    Rules require enforcement which requires people coming together to form a consensus and outfitting and maintaining the livelihood of enforcers, which is NOT ANARCHY.

      No, what you describe is chaos. Anarchy means there are no rulers. People rule themselves and are also looking out for each other thus enforcing the minimum set of rules that are necessary to have a stable security. Rules can come from a consensus, yes.

      A current example is the anarchist punk camp on Sylt where it was decided that dogs need to be on a leash when your are in the camp. If someone sees someone with a dig without a leash, they tell them of the decision and why it was made and that’s it.

        Not to mention the obvious fact that a position of, “rule enforcer”, even where necessary like like tracking down and imprisoning a murderer, needn’t be a permanent role given to people that can then abuse others with that authority.

        Anarchism doesn’t mean zero authority. It means no unjustified authority.

        Anarchy is synonymous with Chaos. Every dictionary and every printed encyclopedia agrees on that.

    usually anarchists advocate for elected or rotational positions for policing.

      What happens when it comes somebody's turn and they decide to stay in charge permanently? Well obviously the loss of the social contract means that individual isn't protected anymore, either, so they kill him. Just like the splicers tried to kill Andrew Ryan.

        The same thing that happens anywhere else? A power struggle between the people who want it and don’t? Are you implying this is unique to anarchism in some way? I don’t see why it would be.
