    Well, I’ve never heard of a well-informed anarchist either, so there you go.

    They just don’t understand any of the basics of organisation.

    They just base their whole ideology on the delusion that everybody’s just gonna play nice, nobody will want to do anything for their advantage and, cucially, that crime just doesn’t exist.

    I wanna see how any anarchist society deals with a murder. Or with someone who is dangerously mentally ill.

    But that’s already much too high for anarchists, who barely understand basic human incentives.

      It sounds like you haven’t had much interaction with anarchists beyond maybe high-school, and haven’t read anything that we’ve written.

      Also, police organizations complain that anarchist activist groups are too hard to infiltrate because there’s too much reading to do:

      Infiltration is made more difficult by the communal nature of the lifestyle (under constant observation and scrutiny) and the extensive knowledge held by many anarchists, which require a considerable amount of study and time to acquire.

      Literally “I can’t blend in with these fucking nerds because they read too much”.

      They just base their whole ideology on the delusion that everybody’s just gonna play nice, nobody will want to do anything for their advantage and, cucially, that crime just doesn’t exist.

      Our philosophy is centered around dealing with the organized crime of the state and the exploitation of the capitalists. If you generally can’t trust people to play nice, putting a few of them in positions of power tends to make the problem worse, not better.

      I wanna see how any anarchist society deals with a murder.

      Which aspect of it? Basic security is pretty simple, and there’s a number of ways to provision it. Forensics would be handled by contracting professional specialists. Trials would be handled by a polycentric legal system (as opposed to the monocentric one that we currently have). Punishment would generally be in the form of either restitution paid by the perpetrator to the victim (or next of kin), or exile.

      But that’s already much too high for anarchists, who barely understand basic human incentives.

      C’mon now, this is just confidentlyincorrect material.
