      I never said it did. I’m talking about power structures and hierarchies. You keep putting words in my mouth.

        not having any enforcement of the law is effectively lawlessness. idk how that’s putting words in your mouth.

        you either think anarchy is lawlessness or accept that am anarchist society would still have a way to enforce laws.

          You go ahead and have the conversation with the straw man version of me you’ve set up on your own because you’re not talking to me or about what I’m saying. Enjoy.

            you know you can correct me instead of just denying my interpretation.

            1. do you think there would be laws in an anarchist society
            2. do you think the laws would be enforced in any way

            is the answer is yes to both then there can be certain authorities on certain issues in an anarchist society. if the answer is no to either of those questions you either think it’s lawless (no for Q1) or effectively lawless (no for Q2). tell me which part of this is a strawman.

              In an enlightened society, each man or woman would govern himself or herself.

                yeah but there’s no such society. checks and balances must be external or they don’t exist.

              I’ve corrected you more than once and you keep putting words in my mouth and trying to talk about something I wasn’t talking about. I’m not interested. And I’m done.
