A few years down the line, Israeli settlers come over in all this "unused land" , and a few years after that, a new buffer zone in Lebanon is needed to protect those settlers and so it goes
Iocaine expects you know how to detect it the bots, if they can get past anubis do you have another detection process?
True. It just so happens that all the other anarchist instances also happen to like us. Funny how that works, huh?
Except that people have already chosen to get into your system. If they didn't desire your system, they wouldn't be in it. They have already chosen for you to have some authority.
oooor, they know that they can demand my (and every other admin's) recall, and the fact that they haven't proves they just trust us.
Who are you to tell me what to do?
bed-time is authoritarian, amirite?
You didn't tho. Despite who organized the vote etc. the post stands posted by an Admin, and the post is in clear violation of your own stated Code of Conduct.
Nu-uh. Lol. Ok you're stuck in a loop, buddy. You're gonna have to try harder than that.
Without tools to recognize bias, framing, and authority signals, "self-organization" becomes a tool for the charismatic or well-connected to dominate.
Mate, it's an niche online forum run by neurodivergents. Charismatic and well-connected we ain't.
Have you considered that perhaps anarchists who don't agree with you simply don't feel that it's worth the effort to try to challenge your power structures? Judging by the way you respond to me, it would be futile as anyone who disagrees with you isn't a true anarchist.
Of all the political people, you think it's anarchists that would be loathe to call out bad power structures? Are you sure this is the argument you want to run with?

now shut up
Of places with rules? Different instances? What exactly do you want? And more importantly, convince me why I should make an effort for you.
Nobody wants a lawless place. People don't want a place where there's an unjustified hierarchy (i.e. reddit admins, and squatting mods). In lemmy you anyone can make their own instance and start comms to replace badly run ones.
even anarchists have rules lol
Anarchism doesn't wait for a revolution to begin, unlike movements like Marxism-Leninism. Anarchist theory posits that we build the society we want to have in the here and now, by organizing around principles of direct action and mutual aid (see reply from D Quuil below for that). Structures with horizontal power structures like unions, cooperatives, communes and so on. These orgs work by improving the lives of their people immediately, not in some nebulous future, and therefore radicalize those people and attract more (this is why the state and capitalism intensely hates such orgs and work very very hard to suppress and crush them). If those orgs were to go unchecked, their proliferation would destabilize the capitalist system, as those orgs not only do not sustain it as they don't try to achieve "infinite growth", nor are led by the profit motive, and most importantly make their members want to resist the aims of the ruling classes (war, slavery, expoitation). This is the process of Prefiguration, for which you can find plenty of info online.
Prefiguration as I mentioned, is inherently destabilizing to Capitalism. In fact, Capitalism itself arrived by prefiguration itself. The liberal classes under monarchy proliferated wage-slavery and exploitation so far and wide, that monarchies that lasted for tends of thousands of years until that point, collapsed in the span of mere hundreds! And surprise surprise, even if a few liberal democracies succumbed to monarchical counter-revolutions, the result was inevitable. Prefiguration works! You can't stop an idea whose time has come.
Prefiguration works because it has already built the stable societal form which will replace the one that is collapsing. We don't have to start figuring things out "after the revolution". This is what I mean when I say that Anarchism doesn't just pop into existence. Those unions, cooperatives, mutual banks, communes and so on, will continue existing as they were and continue serving the needs of their people. They would just expand uninhibited until the rest of the society is run like them. This is also why we say we can't accurately predict what a future anarchist society would look like, anymore than a classical liberal under the monarchy of the Bourbons in the 1700s would be able to predict the Industrial Revolution, never mind the Information Age.
So if those horizontal power structures exist and is how the society is run, where is then this "power vaccuum" to exploit? Any would-be capitalist or monarch would have to convince a society which explicitly rejected their ideas, to go backwards into those ideas. Would you willingly give back universal healthcare just to go back to a US-style healthcare system? No, nobody sane does that (even though the full might of the capitalist propaganda would really like you to). Neither would those people want to go back to a much worse system either. People who've tasted freedom would rather die than give it back.
I hope this answers your question and if you want to learn more about anarchism, I can't suggest The Anarchist FAQ enough as a starting point. We even have a weekly book club about it in !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."
Just patently ridiculous moderation...

Let's go for 5 and 10 at least!
Which news? Which mods? Just post in YPTB is you're upset about it, why are you replying to me?
