Comment on How would an anarchist society work?

So, passengers in an airliner decide on managing the airliner, because they outvote the pilots!

Democracy!!

Democracy’s still a kind of “boss”, a kind of “archy”.

I hold that, exactly as vertebrates all show, you have to have a brain, & you have to have COMPETENCE & RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY based brain.

Pilots, not majority-on-the-aircraft, fly the aircraft.

Those who reject how immune-systems work, including immunization/vaccination ( done right ), ought be prevented from voting on immunization programmes.

Those who aren’t living with the ability to get naturally pregnant, don’t have any business voting on women-specific health issues, including abortion.

Etc.

Not accountable in that domain? no vote.

Not responsible in that domain? no vote.

Not competent in that specific domain? no vote.

Period.

This makes me intolerable among many ideologues/ideologies.

Which is good.

No. It means the airline is a cooperative business.

Anarchy means the laws are made by everyone nor by a small group of people. And nobody can have more power than the rest. It’s, to simplify it, the end of “because I say so”.

  Thank you!
  
  That’s my point.

That’s a framework for a technocracy. The question here was for a blueprint for an anarchist society.

And if we take your line of thinking further: At what point do you stop denying people the right to vote?

Should only those in a particular industry have a say when it comes to regulating that industry? In that case, issues like environmental and consumer protection would become unenforceable… because why would a CEO or worker care about the impact their own actions have on the rest of society if regulation can be framed as a threat to their own job?
