The actual reason anarchist experiments always fail is because they lack organization and structure necessary to keep them going. Maybe if spent some time to learn what a state is, then you wouldn't feel the need to make inane statements like this.

The actual reason most anarchist places fail is because they lack military power. Places that are actually recognized like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania still run today.

These things go hand in hand. Military power requires organization, ability to create industry, build factories, have a trained workforce, and so on. Creating these things requires having some form of central planning and authority. This is an excellent read on the subject incidentally https://dashthered.medium.com/where-do-tanks-come-from-8723ff77d83b

@yogthos @Aatube "creating these things requires having some form of central planning and authority" is literal superstition.

👆 How to say you're historically illiterate without saying you're historically illiterate.

@yogthos no, your superstitions are not "history", they're just superstitions.

Repeating nonsense over and over isn't going to make it true buddy. Feel free to provide examples of anarchism working in practice though.
