    No. Anarchy is the opposite of hierarchy.

      But it’s the exact same thing. If there’s no hierarchy of some kind, then who’s going to enforce the law? Like putting criminals in jail and prevent violence on the streets?

        So I don’t consider myself an anarchist, but the various types of anarchy have come up with answers to this question. Generally, they rely on more social cohesion to enforce social rules. Private property would not be a thing, which cuts out a lot of laws in itself.

          Every time I get either downvotes or a non answer like this.

          they rely on more social cohesion to enforce social rules

          How is this supposed to work in situation where individuals aren’t agreeing with each other? What about communication overhead when large amount of people is involved in decision making? These are the questions anarchists avoid answering.

          The only thing I know to work in practice is Torrent protocol for data exchange - but it works in an environment where violence is completely infeasible, and it doesn’t even try to be fair or equal. It’s pure tit-for-tat (aka favor-for-favor) model when there’s bandwidth deficit, and pure charity when there’s a surplus

          Also, data is perfectly quantifiable, which is not a thing in more complex enviroments

          You just can’t apply torrent in the real life

            Since I’m not an anarchist, I’m not going to give a detailed answer. The various threads of anarchism would give different answers, and I’m not about to cover it.

            But I can say that there’s plenty of theory out there, and you might be getting downvotes because you don’t seem willing to engage with any of it.
