This is the definition I am using:

a system, organization, or society in which people are chosen and moved into positions of success, power, and influence on the basis of their demonstrated abilities and merit.

    I still have some hold ups on how anarchism currently being implemented across the world.

    If you think there is someone implementing anarchism around the world, you have completely misunderstood anarchism.

    It’s like when the alt right tried framing antifa as an organisation.

    The whole point of anarchism is that you do what your community needs you to do, and let other communities do the same.

      Yeah I agree that should be the ideal however, like you have said, it hasn’t ever really been implemented yet.

      There are a bunch of groups around the world that follow similar anarchist principles, like Rojava, Zapatistas, or even Temporary autonomous zones, but all of them have some unofficial/hidden/weak form of organizer that can be targeted by people with the right resources.

      My point being that since systems tend to sustain themselves if we don’t start building systems that can function without the need of an organizer or something of a similar sort then there will still be that place where the power can be misused.
