Don't contort yourself around theories of "false consciousness" to explain why fascism is always so fucking popular. People suck. They are generally far more sociopathic than you want to admit. This is why they should never be allowed to rule over others.

Let me get this straight: Individuals cannot be trusted because they are sociopathic. Therefore, they should not be ruled over. Therefore, we need a rule to prevent rulership. Am I following correctly so far?

Oh good lord. Rulership is a matter of top-down domination. Sure, bottom up resistance to anyone acquiring a position of rulership creates a norm -- just as literally anything creates a norm -- but it doesn't create a dynamic of rulership.

So you want the rule that nobody rules enforced by every individual? What makes you trust that individuals are going to do the right thing, if they suck and are sociopathic?

Good lord, it's not a "rule". Anarchists want to make the cost of attempts to dominate one another too high for anyone to be able to. One traditional example of this is popularizing things like guns so that attempts to rule over minorities become incredibly costly to the ruler.

Has this experiment not been undertaken countless times? Stability seems to require a monopoly on violence. Until then, groups with guns will fight against groups with fewer guns until power consolidates.

So if this has instead moved on to "explain anarchism 101 to me lel" I'm out, you can go do your own reading.

ah the beautiful pattern “let me educate you about the universal norm that my cult discovered” + “how dare you doubt my self evident reasoning, go read the current version of the sacred scriptures, it is not my duty to fix your insufficient indoctrination”

No, I was much too snarky. I should have waited for a day instead of responding while frustrated.

Yes definitely a snarky delivery! Yet, the acknowledgement that this is a recurring pattern is (imo) a legit contribution.
