I'm more of an Anarchist but this still holds true

In anarchy, the encroachments on human rights would be even more profound. Unless you think authorative regulation, intervention, and concepts like tax on social economics is what drives some people to take advantage of others for profit and others to live poorly. But I'm pretty sure things like social housing, tax brackets, monolopy laws, etc. are doing something to prevent things being even worse than what they are now.

It's not the system—pick any ideology you want—its the people. We didn't get to be number one out of billions of species because we fucked around and sniffed daisies. Now that we are number one, the only thing our nature can prey on is each other.

I think the word anarchy is bad branding. (Though good branding is impossible when the king want his citizens to hate you.)

From what I understand, the main goal of anarchy is to remove the system that separates us from power. For example, representative democracy makes it so you just go "pretty please represent me" without having any direct agency over the world around you.

Anarchy is not "remove all the rules".

Edit: if there is a system that facilitates personal rights and agency then it is not necessarily against anarchy.

Everything is true if you are ignorant enough...

Same applies to almost every example of communism we have seen, with the leaders being the ones who are profiting at the expense of everyone else.

COMUNISM IS A FANTASTIC IDEA.

What a shame all their leaders in all countries and all of history and all of the future HAVE ALWAYS BEEN STEALING corrupt oligarch aholes that party in Miami and have bank accounts in the vatican, Zürich and cayman islands. Why not party in Havana and save in a venezuelan bank? Why not visit China and use rubble for your holidays? Maybe COMUNIST LEADERS PREFER CAPITALISM?

And that's why I'm an Anarchist personally. Less chance to get taken over by corrupt leaders

Well......... I dunno about that. Let's just guillotine everyone that has over a hundred million.

Then try build some society with the best of both worlds.

Extremists suck. Moderation is key.
