@rato@todon.eu I thought anarchism was a naive call for a power vacuum and destroying existing institutions, unaware of the authoritarianism of the strong and abandonment of the weak that inevitably follows in the collapse of governments. No one wants to live in a Hobbesian land of feuding warlords and cartels until finally desperate people unite behind whatever strongman promises he can restore the rule of law.

So… yes, anarchists have a huge branding problem. I’d pick a different word, tbh.
