Conservatives are the people outside of the last frame encouraging the cops to step more on the neck region.

    I’ll give you that. I am leaving room in my definition for anarcho-communism and anarcho-socialism (or even anarcho-syndicalism and other left-anarchist systems) and those don’t require a state.

    Democracy is a decent enough way to run a state, but anarchists would critique democracy (from the left) by pointing out that it can violently compel people based on the will of the majority, and so consensus building, federation, and mutual aid can replace a democratic state while accomplishing socialism.

      Ah, I see! I was only disagreeing with the inclusion of authoritarian socialism, which in my mind is an oxymoron.

      Democracy can take many shapes and I would argue anarchy must always be democratic as well, even if it is way more democratic than current systems.
