    Isn't anarchy the complete absence of government and the individual's ability to do whatever they want?

    While most anarchists likely do not have the same evil intent as Nazis, it seems like anarchy would just leave individual violent bigots free to do on their own what Nazi regimes do as a government. And if you get killed by a non-state actor who's been empowered to kill you by the lack of civil society, you aren't any less dead than if you get killed by a state actor...

    No, that's not how anarchy works.

    I, for example, am an anarchocommunist, and while I often use the term communist to describe myself, I'm still an anarchist.
    Here's a rather well done article on it by Kim Kelly from WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/04/stop-blaming-everything-bad-anarchists/

    I strongly recommend reading Lucy Parson's "I Am An Anarchist," Emma Goldman's "Anarchy and Other Essays," and Peter Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread" if you want to understand some of the roots of anarchism.

    Every person I have ever heard mentioning the middle east having anti-gay laws and anti-women laws has always been a republican who doesn't like women voting and wants sodomy to be illegal because of gay buttsex (as opposed to republican buttsex which is just fine by them.).

    I genuinely like this idea. It's the Chinese version of "Fuck around and find out."

    Really. We oughtta be doing that here, but the country club "prisons" our pols wind up in probably wouldn't be much of a deterrent.

    First, we need to be locking them up. Too many are allowed to skate on things.

    You need to meet my great comrade for the glory of the motherland, @Lanzman, who also thinks it's a good idea.

    Actions should have consequences. Fuckery should be punished. End of line.

    Especially the actions of those who have and abuse power. One corrupt politician can do far more widespread harm than someone who is corrupt but has no such power.

    Maybe...


    Maybe I have a lack of imagination, but I can't envision a circumstance where shooting an unarmed suspect is acceptable.
