      Tell me you know nothing about Anarchist philosophy or history with explicitly saying so.

      ![“The ultimate goal of our oppressors is to limit our imagination about what is possible without them, so that we might never imagine more for ourselves and the world we live in. We can only imagine what is in front of us because the power structure decrees that there are no alternatives other than what currently exists. We humans have lived the alternative for tens of thousands of years. We are capable of building a free society, a brighter future, because we already have ideas about what that might look like. We know what societies without bureaucracies are capable of.”

      — David Graeber, cultural anthropologist](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/84d97534-b030-4f03-9732-7e73c587306b.png)

        you still didnt explain

        • How would you organize people and overthrow the bourgeosie state?
        • How would you maintain siginificant resistance against foreign imperialist attacks without some kind of heirarchy?
        • How would you incentivize people to actually work in jobs which dont have good reputation?
        • How would you counter reactionary tendencies and stop reactionary mobilization?

        This whole quote seem like motivation speech

          Try reading a book and you’ll get those answers explained in full. I’m not gonna sit here and paraphrase volumes of anarchist theory just so you can play judge nitpicking the specifics. I have explained my position well enough. If you want specifics, go read the source materials.

          Kropotkin, Graeber, Bakunin, Proudhon, Luxembourg, Parsons, etc … All have explained the mechanisms of decentralized resistance and horizontally structured systems of authority as well as the incentive structures of how people decide what to labor on and organize with their communities to ensure desired services are rendered alongside how this change of incentives and authoritative structure would counteract reactionary efforts.

          FYI, that quote is from renowned anthropologist, David Graeber, who wrote multiple books on these very subjects. You should try reading them. You’ll learn something.
