“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."
An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
Your definition of anarchy is what they try to sell on Fox News. That’s not what it actually is. Anarchism is actually a very structured system that opposes a ruling class controlling people and grants more freedom to the individuals to govern.
Fox News just takes the most extreme way in which anarchism can go wrong and promotes that as the default state.
I want to extend on this.
Anarchist thought is the awareness that true control/authority is an illusion and entities have an inherent freedom to disobey and choose according to their own will but also that they have to live the consequences of any actions.
To create order in anarchy is to realise that your own interests co-align with those of others and that working together to build a better world where we navigate anarchy rather then dismiss it is key to create a condition where people can flourish and mutual freedom and respect can emerge naturally.
