    The imaginary world some people here live in or want to perpetuate is so absurd. Tell me you have not even bothered to check your own confirmation bias against a history book without telling me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police#Ancient

    Maybe if you guys really want to spread anarchist narratives and really want them to succeed, don’t spread misinformation at least? In my experience, anarchy is inherently a whitewashing under charisma an existing superimposed power system by another superimposed power system that’s whitewashed by more amiable rhetoric. Cue oxymorons like “The Anarchy Police”, which as idealistic as it is, hides under its rhetorical veil the people who will inevitably have to rise and impose the power system as the arbiters of democracy, fairness, and “representing society”, imposing the oxymoron of a power system they criticize in the first place. This essentially has the whole system live in denial of what it is and inevitably dooming it to corruption, as opposed to working to make a flawed but existing system less flawed.
