You believe in a society where individuals can freely cooperate without hierarchical structures or oppressive systems, leading to a more harmonious and equitable world.
Anarchism is a political ideology that fundamentally opposes the idea of a centralized state or government, advocating instead for a society based on voluntary, cooperative institutions. Anarchists believe that societal order can emerge without the need for laws or enforcement, through mutual aid and self-governance. They argue that power is inherently corrupting, and that hierarchical systems inevitably lead to social inequality. Therefore, they propose a society where individuals freely cooperate together, creating a culture of mutual aid and respect.
The roots of anarchism can be…

How would you create and maintain trust within a community without the traditional mechanisms of authority and punishment?
@9KM24N32mos2MO
I would make the punishment not that harsh because I do want people to be safe.
@9KPDLSM2mos2MO
I would make punish ment slightly over bearing because if they are like that then people won't do wrong cause of the fear of said punishment
@9KPBNHKRepublican2mos2MO
Making a punishment harsh is what would prevent other people from doing it which would in turn make people more safe
@9KLZWN2 2mos2MO
If somebody wants you dead. You kill them first. Simple.
@9KM2B3K2mos2MO
I believe that using a method based in slowly removing certain privileges like un-restricted drivers licensees or extra tax fees for certain behavior or breaking of the law could work versus traditional punishments.
@9KM282F2mos2MO
Letting the people's voice be heard, strive for action in which the public desires.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Have you ever felt restricted by societal norms and rules; how would eliminating those improve or worsen your personal expression?
@9KV2MKZ2mos2MO
Everyone has felt restricted before, government is necessary to the security of people as that is its one job.
A people cannot feel secure if they feel restricted. Of course, there are limits, and I do agree on that, and restriction is sometimes neccessary, but it can also falter a people's will to be successful and to be happy, and then they will be unsatisfied with the government's work, no matter the government's intention.
@9KVP9XJ 2mos2MO
Yes. They would probably make me feel more free, knowing that the government isn't trying to limit my free speech or whatever. I'm not sure.
@9KV2SCM 2mos2MO
Rules are necessary for a society to function, however i believe it should be up to the individual whether or not they choose to participate in a society. They should have the power to choose to live free from its restrictions and benefits alike.
@9KV2NG62mos2MO
Yes, it would make it not so outlandish for me to express myself
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Do you think self-management can work in all areas of society, such as healthcare and safety, and what might be the challenges?
No it can't, we need official funding and supervision.
@9KVDYJP2mos2MO
if you work on yourself and better yourself. then youre able to do good for yourself and other people.
@9KVDKXT2mos2MO
I disagree because there are some areas of society that need to be overseen by the government due to their risks and importance on the people.
@9KVCDDD2mos2MO
That healthcare shouldn't be free because the funding and supervision will cost money and employers will need to be paid.
@9KTZ9G82mos2MO
No, there are some people dependent on the government for healthcare and safety. The wealthy people may survive on their own for a few days but the homeless and middle-class people will have nothing left.
@9KTYVWP2mos2MO
people with low income who may can't afford healthcare or jobs right now.
@9KTYZY22mos2MO
No because I think everyone needs support from someone stronger or with more power
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you like to see the environment protected in a world where everyone must volunteer to take action?
@9J2LFCY4mos4MO
I would like to see people give their all by putting faith and commitment towards a better economy, and start supporting rightful politicians from across the country.
@9J2LN3F4mos4MO
I feel like if everything had to be voluntary, nothing would get done. This is all thanks to the bystander effect. Other people will assume that others will volunteer or do something and so nothing will get done. So I do believe that we have to have some kind of system or order to be able to function. Without it, we will be a broken society.
@9J2L9JD4mos4MO
That would be nice, but many people would choose not to volunteer - therefore there should be some type of regulations installed to further protect our environment and help decrease global warming
@9HZQ6VP4mos4MO
I would love to see everyone volunteer to take action
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How might the absence of government change the way communities address shared problems like poverty or education?
@9H7PNW25mos5MO
It would be hard to address these things with no government or structure at all.
@9H7PNH65mos5MO
Someone will take too much power and there will be no on to stop them.
@9H7PH2Y5mos5MO
People would have to come together to help each other instead of leaning on the government for everything.
@9H7PSSWRepublican5mos5MO
It may create chaos and make it harder for people to agree for the greater benefit
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What mechanisms could we put in place to ensure everyone feels heard and represented in group decisions without a leader?
@9L2NPMG1mo1MO
You can have everybody write a little idea they have.
@9L2NP89Libertarian1mo1MO
Compromise and change. There probably wont be any single solution, so try to make multiple solutions to help others.
@9L2NG9H1mo1MO
No why would we be anarchist, free land for countries?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How much do you value order compared to personal freedom, and how does that shape your view on anarchism?
@9HCR4GVRepublican5mos5MO
I think order is an important way of keeping this country in check and not falling apart and into wars within the country and more problems that can be solved by the government, however I think personal freedoms are important and there are some things that the people should be able to have more control of rather than the government controlling every aspect of life. We deserve to have our own freedoms while also feeling safe within our country because the government can control CERTAIN and SPECIFIC things.
@9HCQQCN5mos5MO
Social order gives way for certain personal freedoms that are most important as we forfeit other personal freedoms that are worth sacrificing.
@9HCQY6Z5mos5MO
I think government is a really important part of society, because the government can keep the value of our society. Without the law or government, I believe people will get crazy.
@9HQYY8L4mos4MO
As Proudhon put it, "Anarchy is order." Freedom and order are one and the same. A system that holds everyone equally accountable and is formed on freedom of association is far less chaotic than a system where a person is put arbitrarily above others.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Would you feel safer or more vulnerable living in a society without police and laws, and why?
@9H7LFPK5mos5MO
more vulnerable because people can lose their mind kill people do all types of bad things and still not get in trouble
@9H7LV4V5mos5MO
I would feel more vulnerable because I would not feel safe knowing there is no police or laws to stop people from doing what they want.
@9H7LT78Republican5mos5MO
I would feel endangered everywhere I go. Imagine no cops patroling the area.
@9HQYY8L4mos4MO
Absolutely. Laws and those who enforce them are backed by a monopoly on violence. A society of voluntary association without want or need would be less violent in general and what little violence happens can be handled by the community directly.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If there were no laws to follow, do you believe you would act more ethically, less ethically, or about the same, and what influences your answer?
@9H7RNV55mos5MO
I think i'd be more ethically because I would want others who act ethically.
@9H7M6G85mos5MO
If there were no laws to follow, I would act less ethically, because I there would be no one to tell me otherwise.
@9H7MKFG5mos5MO
i would act less ethically because i would want the law back
@9HQYY8L4mos4MO
More for the simple reason that without laws, society has to function on mutual agreements. Where laws are imposed without consent currently, anarchism requires the explicit consent of all parties to implement rules so people would follow them more.
