Is Anarchy Ever A Good Idea?

A YouTuber called ConsentWithdrawn subbed to me today. His channel page consists of a kind of anarchist manifesto. Herewith I read his manifesto and answer it briefly.

Your questions to him / her implies you haven't read anything about anarchism at all. I'm not trying to be rude or anything. So just because the government is representative you should give ALL your soverignty to it because it really sounds like you're legitimizing it simply cuz it's representative. Vote every 4 years and feel the freedom... That's fine, as an anarchist I would never impose my will on you to decide what you should or should not do. cont.

@wherearewegoing Have you actually read this whole comment section? I explained why anarchy doesn't work, except perhaps in small groups. In communities of millions it's just chaos.

@Largo64 There is no need for million big communities, you are right.

These are are all great questions :D I think all the services the the government provides can be provided voluntarily. We need to first accept that the government is an evil organisation who claims the right to use force over its citizens through taxation and regulation. The United States is one of the best countries in the world to live in but it does not change the fact the government is evil.

@wherearewegoing You have a point. That's why senility is soften called "second childhood." Children are literally incompetent to care for themselves, and so are adults with alzheimer's disease (which used to be called senility).

[Largo64]

(cont.) Given that no experience or training is necessary to become a parent, it is inevitable that child abuse will occur. The hope is that instinct, love. . . and the law will prevent most of it, but we all know cases in which children are mistreated.

[Largo64]

@wherearewegoing I made a video saying exactly that - that indoctrinating children with religion might well be called abuse. You will never put an end to child abuse by parents because people can just pump out babies whenever they feel like it. It amazes me that, in the US at least, you have to have training, pass a test and get a license to apply makeup to another person or to cut their hair, but you don't ave to know anything more than how to fit your parts with someone else's to be a parent.

@Largo64 I might depend on the state for certain things aswell, but that doesn't mean that I feel morally wrong for doing so. It's simply because they have the monopoly of the certain things, or that I'm already paying for those services so why should I turn them down? You are entitled to benefit and I would happily work so you could do other things. I respect my elders. My heart breaks to see people working their whole lives and not getting anything for it. It's definitately not amusing.

@Largo64 Are you equal to a senile person? Are you equal to a mentally disabled adult? Because, if you treat children in a certain way because their brains are "dysfunctional" in need of instruction, you could just as easily apply this to a senile or mentally disabled adult, right? Maybe you had a good childhood, but do you realise what it would take for a young child to report their parents to anyone? Most of the times it doesn't happen. Of course if you hit them etc. someone might notice.

[wherearewegoing]

@Largo64 What is your definition of child abuse? I think the only actions you would consider abuse are hitting them, starving them and locking them in a confined area. Abuse is according to my definition also the following: Brainwashing young children with concepts like hell and heaven, religion in general, neglect (not talking / looking at them enough) along with several other things.

@Largo64 Anarchy does not define the "system" or organization under which individuals come together to form. Therefore you cannot simply say in communities of millions "it's just chaos". In Catalonia 3 million people organized to form a better society. Without church, economic and social oppression.
