anarchists on some instances of lemmy say that they dislike the government and hate law and sometimes harm people and thats bad, but what if those anarchists made a group and went to live in an island and form their own society?? would they do it better than the government??? it can be complicated because in anarchy, politics dont matter, so any political discourse will lead to people getting harmed

One of the closest things to a large anarchist society exists in the middle east, yet it doesn't get bombed by the US. This is because the kurds are fighting with the US against isis.

I generally agree with your opinions otherwise. Also, recommending multiple books/authors before giving general explanations will scare most people of.

I honestly lapsed on Rojava. My bad.

But also, the likelihood of the US doing some dirty shit there increases exponentially as soon as they seem to be viable. Right now, the entire region is so fragile I doubt it's considered worth messing with. As soon as it is, they'll be freed from the tyranny of their own autonomy. I really, really want to be wrong here.

Also, not super concerned about scaring off OP, they're a troll. Check the post history. But I was hoping that my comment might be read by someone else who might like the recommendations. But you're right, I should have put the post on reverse order.

Idk. The fucking turks are bombing the shit out of Rojava with American weapons as we speak. So we certainly aren’t helping by remaining friendly with Erdogan.
