For the life of me - I don’t understand anarchists.

@AlliFlowers Really, all they usually just want is the status quo broken. Some assume people can operate fine without mutual cooperation under the guidance of a government or they just don’t care. It truly is a naive position much like nihilism. Eventually, most everyone who’s an anarchist becomes some kind of libertarian or something else.

@AlliFlowers An interesting read that will help you understand anarchists is Graeber & Wengrow's A New History Of Humanity. In which they discuss the anarchist nature of some nativer American groups, and moreover argues that the West's obsession with freedom arose from encounters with such systems.
