Sooner than later I hope. The genocide in Gaza proves the liberal international order isn't working and needs to go away.

Anarchy?? No. That's not the threat. These people don't know what anarchy is.
27 1 Replyanarchy is when a declining imperial power violently lashes out against the rest of the world in a desperate attempt to maintain its hegemonic status
20 2 ReplyHumans can't do anarchy. They immediately reorganize themselves into a hierarchy every single time the current structure is brought down.
What will happen is a regression into isolationist feudalism, not even close to anarchy.
5 12 ReplyHumans couldn't do a lot of things, until they did them anyway.
12 0 ReplyAnarchy has been the "natural" state of humanity for most of it's history (before the agricultural revolution). What political forms that humans adopt depend on external conditions. Under the conditions of primitive production combined with natural abundance, humans lived under anarchy. As the world continues to change, our political forms too will. I am not saying that anarchy will be the new state, but the reduction of hierarchies will most certainly have to happen.
