    There is no true anarchy because government emerges spontaneously from human interaction. “Anarchists” start to add these structures and fail to realize that what they are creating is just an idyllic state without using the word “state” because they don’t like it.

      There is no true democracy, no true totalitarianism… no true scotsman?

      No one on the inside of these systems thinks it’s idyllic, I can assure you, once they realize how much work and commitment it requires, and governance does not require privileged classes wielding centralized power to be a government.

      You are conflating State with Government. They are synonymous but only similar, not the same. Self-governance requires a great deal of education along the way, and a constant flow of meetings and chores.

      The first generation in restructuring both economy and governance makes a lot of mistakes. Propagandists point at this as though it proves non-viability, but that’s just deception.
