    Mutual defense.

    That’s why I return to the statement. “What’s to stop me from stealing from the wolf? Him and his friends”"

    You’ll just get a bunch of shitty war lords. People protecting each other in little conclaves. My friends , my family, people who feel they owe me a favor.

    Controlled access to resources through violence. The weak. The disabled. The sick. The old. All left out of these equations.

    A vendetta someone has killed the wolfs friend for land. Now he rallies his buddies, and they rally their buddies, and come take it back. The wolf pack becomes the government.

    Like it or not there will always be inequality. Especially physically inequality. And people will use that to their advantage. The physically strong, the physically hard to kill, the cunning, the ruthless, the persuasive. All have advantages in a world of violence that others do not.

    To anyone who truly believes in anarchy I ask what’s stopping you from taking from the wolves now? Because it’s not pigs who sit in those Mansions. It’s wolves.

    Only compassion will get us out of this world we have created. Not to say violence will never be necessary. Sometimes violence is the only language a wolf understands.

      Anarchists do not become the government, they abolish the state apparatus and promote self-governance.

      Please go understand anarchism before you try and argue against it.
