Compassion, empathy, seeing yourself in others, this is the critical foundation of anarchy—the necessary premise to even think of a world without rulership. Sociopaths cannot grasp this. And the alt-right is just a coalition of more clearheaded egoists, horrified by altruists. https://twitter.com/nisenohata/status/938971486609580032 …
Brilliant exchange. You perfectly express the material prerequisite to your societal model, while then pointing out your observation that this critical prerequisite is untrue! Can you see it? What do you conclude? Is reality wrong or your model?

You go wrong in thinking in terms of material prerequisites. Anarchism is a set of desires, anarchistic societies can emerge without the universalization of such desires. But also desires are not fixed, they can develop and be emergent. Sociopaths exist, but not necessarily.

The existence of sociopaths (and of groups that reject each other's shared purposes) is the result of the possibility of their existence. How do you plan to make it impossible?
