Lmao Zapatistas are still around and they were NOT on defence.

Indeed, you’re bad, I’m glad you finally took the hint, troll.

Thank you for adding nothing to yet another exchange.

The literal day they became public they declared war. They also had a literal constitution and literal laws posted on the signs entering their territory, and you can be damn sure they had enforcers.

Also, social contracts are enforced in anarchy, just not by an entity emposed by a governing body.

This has yet to be demonstrated.

In non anarchist countries they can be arrested and face trial, and there are many barriers in place to prevent them from taking total control in the first place.

In Anarchy it’s literally handed to them and the only recourse is to abduct or kill that guy.

That’s why nations last hundreds of years and Anarchies last days.

A power struggle with no legal recourse except bloodshed is indeed specific to a system where there is no power structure or system of laws, correct. That’s what I said. It has never once proven false. And you came in here and demanded I retract my statement? What are you going to do about it, eat my liver?

lmao

Do you think Apples wrote the definition of an Orchard?

What happens when it comes somebody’s turn and they decide to stay in charge permanently? Well obviously the loss of the social contract means that individual isn’t protected anymore, either, so they kill him. Just like the splicers tried to kill Andrew Ryan.

They don’t provide conflict, you just have a skill issue with reading the dictionary.

You’re gonna sit there and pretend Anarchism has nothing to do with Anarchy? You’re not even arguing against anything I’ve said anymore lmao

Me and DonPiano already had this discussion, Merriam-Webster dictionary page for Anarchy is verbatim what I said.

If your favorite fantasy fiction genre uses a wildly different definition than the vast majority of people, but also the same but sort of not, then maybe you should take your arguments up with dictionary and encyclopedia publishers.

I am sure that if you presented the trite-philosophers own breif definitions to each other or gave them a series of examples to decide Anarchy or Not-Anarchy then they would all disagree with each other.

I don’t think Ryan produced Plasmids, that was how Fontaine became a faction leader.

Oh god I hope none of them lmao

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”.

Contemporary Anarchism doesn’t actually exist even in fiction, though, unless there is only one person because otherwise there will always be disputes between the people until a centralized power structure forms.

I thank you for trying to mediate but both me and my opponents know exactly what I am saying.

They receive authority from themselves or it isn’t anarchy.

This is both a literary term and an extreme example, idk why you’re here arguing it if you agree on that usage.

Social contracts without enforcement are worthless.
