Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock
finitebanjo@piefed.world 3 days agoThis is both a literary term and an extreme example, idk why you're here arguing it if you agree on that usage.

Well, because things in practice are often different than the extreme end of the definition, and I’m arguing because I enjoy it and it exposes me to other perspectives. Like how you see no benefit to anarchy tells me about your lived expieriences and/or how you would plan to act in an anarchal society.
Also, social contracts are enforced in anarchy, just not by an entity emposed by a governing body. I’d say social contracts are more worthwhile when they flourish without the need for enforcement. E.g. people watching what they say in public around children. You won’t get arrested for swearing until it’s “disturbing the peace”.

This has yet to be demonstrated.

You should read about the Frontier days in America after the Louisiana Purchase. Might I suggest the testimony of Dee Harkey?

See: the zapatistas and revolutionary catalonia for examples of anarchist societies.

The literal day they became public they declared war. They also had a literal constitution and literal laws posted on the signs entering their territory, and you can be damn sure they had enforcers.
