    Anarchism is full of rules and laws, though. Arguably, one aspect of anarchism is replacing rulers with rules as far as possible, but that’s possibly a contentious phrasing.

      And when your rules conflict with your neighbor’s rules? I guess they’ll just have to murder you. Just like Rapture.

        I don’t think you’re engaging in good faith here, not sure why. For what it’s worth, in your example, the negotiation of rules with the goal of consensus finding and avoidance of unjust exertion of power plays a major role in anarchist practices. Anomic states of existence and anarchic ones are far apart. The former leads to kings and conquest, the latter to tedious discussions about minutiae of daily existence.

        There are reasons why anarchist groups are hard to infiltrate by cops

          What’s good faith about me describing a horde of lawless cannibal spleen collectors and you coming in here and argueing “um actually the orphan spleen harvesting has a complex and fair system of distribution so actually its a good thing superior to regulated capitalism”.
