Alright, I read your answer and obviously I don’t agree. But I don’t have the time, nor the energy to respond to all these claims.
If you are generally curious about anarchism, try to watch the video I had linked or read the book I reccomended. Also, read the Wikipedia articles about Marxism, Communism and Anarchism, the, are a good summary. But I can only encourage you to stay open minded. You don’t have to agree, just try to understand the other perspective. Maybe you can also expand your own ideas with some of the ideas of anarchist thinkers.
But, I can’t force you to, I guess. I am honestly quite happy that this discussion stayed very civil for internet standards.
As to my own open mindedness, I always try to work on it. I always change my views on the world, only about a year ago, I was a really convinced democratic socialist. It’s just that, a lot of your arguments, I’ve engaged with before.
With others, like the human nature thing, I will admit that I specifically tried to look for evidence, that supports my beliefs. But, it’s also really hard to find out the truth about a subject like this, because even most scientists are shaped by their own biasses and the institional biasses of their employers or the people that give them grants. And the journalists, that report on them are shaped by the biasses of their own billionaire employers. I mean, just look at the shit that Fox News tells you. But also, CNN where they have “experts” on, who keep saying “the economy is fine, just look at these numbers I got here, no matter the lived reality of the Americans”.
I hope, that I was able to make you look at the world in a bit of a different way or at least make you curious.
