As much as I agree that “civilized society” spouted by right-wingers is awfully damn far from it it seems kinda weird to act like anarchy would bring about a structured society.

All large groups who don’t want to end up falling into disparate groups led by the nearest psychopath and trauma-fueled meat-heads are going to need structure. Yes, capitalism and the right in general have failed but that doesn’t mean government is bad(or even difficult).

This isn't exactly what the comic portrays though. If you're thinking of "anarchy" as being the absence of government, it isn't anarchy itself that would lead to a structured society, it's the intentional efforts of people to build a society sans government that is structured on things other than property and institutional violence.

The idea of government does not require property and institutional violence. If that’s where we’re starting from then there’s not going to be much of a conversation to be had.

Why not? It sounds like you have a specific idea of what these words mean to you, but if those are very different from what people identifying as anarchists are talking about, it doesn't seem like there is much point objecting on the basis of your preferred definitions, that's basically just a strawman argument.

Those aren't anarchists, they're synarchists.

The things they do like pooling resources require governing over. Governing.

Just do a simple fucking web search before you comment, this is embarassing.

I skimmed the article and it does seem to agree with the comment you responded to, no? Genuinely asking, I don't know anything about this.
