I’m not disagreeing with any argument against the current system, I’m just saying that putting the power in the hands of the people isn’t a suitable replacement.
Professional, highly educated and properly trained law enforcement with robust civilian oversight is the solution.
For the community, yes. Not for the instance, though. Nothing I’ve said violates the community rules.
For the record, I’m all for the anarchist utopia you guys dream of. I just don’t think it’s possible because it relies on the world’s population changing to stop being selfish and agree on something all at the same time and sticking with it.
You can barely even get a room full of people to unanimously agree on what to get for lunch.
The biggest issue I see is there’s never a plan on how to actually implement anarchy without violating the core tenants of it. if it’s even possible to achieve, it’ll take generations of slow progress to get there without building a global power structure to force everyone to comply.
The focus should be on how to progress the current system in ways that will move towards your goal instead of saying that everyone who doesn’t immediately jump on board is a brainwashed fool.
Humans have an incredible amount of inertia towards change. The State is the result of thousands of years of power structures and isn’t going to just change over night. Our current system definitely has major flaws, but so far it’s still an improvement from the way things used to work. Which is saying a lot considering how bad the current system is.

Law enforcement itself is a problem, it cannot be regulated or trained to anything but the tool of state oppression.
People with a direct stake in the wellbeing of a community are the only people who can properly care for the community.
It’s cute how absolutely wrong you are.
have you read the sidebar here or for this instance?
