      Nah, I wouldn’t count myself as an anarchist, but even a worst case scenario for complete lack of government isn’t the loss of all major human technology and knowledge.

          … isn’t r/place notable for being, despite all the chaos, a place where people cooperate to complete and preserve large projects for their communities? Don’t know that that’s the example you’re looking for.

            They create discord servers with a hierarchy where everything is organized. There are creations without but those are fairly limited in my experience.

            Yes, people try to do stuff and then get raided. And those communities usually have some kind of leader or group of leaders that organise the plot. It could be compared to the start of agricultural settlements were you had some farmers trying to resist constant raids

              There is no hierarchical structure in this scenario. You only use the word “leader” because you are accustomed to using such a framework.

              Anarchism does not mean there aren’t people with specific skill sets and/or passions who are more suited or dedicated to a task. In the example you mentioned, there is no hierarchy and no leader, at least not in the sense the term “leader” usually manifests in our current system.

                  Whatever term you want to use, there is no coercion or hierarchy in such a community. Providing guidance and sharing a creative vision is in no way antithetical to anarchism.

                  There’s no “gotcha” here like you think there is, and the only thing you’ve made clear is that you don’t understand what anarchism is and how it works lol
