  Good. I couldn’t be sure. ‘This is actual anarchy’ is just as readable as ‘this is the degeneracy of our modern culture’ as it is as ‘this is people acting responsibly without need of hierarchy.’

    i suppose it’s an understandable knee jerk reaction to assume that.
    ….
    i wrote it because when i see riots there’s usually “it was anarchy on the streets!” somewhere….
    but in this case there was a large number of people who saw someone needing help and decided to help, which is actually anarchy on the streets…

      They’re both technically anarchic, (no hierarchy among rioters either) but things like this demonstrate the lack of hierarchy is clearly not the problem in either situation.

        anarchy isn’t just the lack of hierarchy, it’s an organization of society without hierarchical government.
        a riot is chaos, not anarchy.
