    Anarchism is the absence of hierarchy, not organization. The means of the people to use force against violent attempts at theft for personal gain are neither eliminated nor lessened.

      So you’re saying that you and sewage treatment plant guy will successfully defend against 5 armed men that ambushed you while you were working?

      Remember: this is not an action film, this is real life we’re talking about.

        You seem to be consistently misunderstanding me. Did you seriously think what I meant was “me and this sewage guy are gonna singlehandedly fight off 5 armed men”? That’s fucking absurd. What I actually meant was we would obviously have armed guards protecting valuables vulnerable to theft, like any other organized society.
