Neat quote saw when reading. Admitting you’re wrong in a genuine way is something you see rarely these days.

“In a 2024 interview, he said he renounced his libertarianism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic after a libertarian group asked him to speak at an anti-mask rally. “The fact they sent me this email is something I need to be very ashamed of, and I need to change” adding “Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, ‘It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,’ and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate.”[56]”

          I can’t get behind anarchism because there will literally always be antisocial people seeking to hurt others, physically or not. Anarchism either ignores that reality or hopes those evil people willingly attend treatment programs that hopefully make them stop hurting others. Murder, rape, theft, war, etc.

              Banished how? They can just re enter.

              Violently resisted how? Lynch mob?

              I agree that limited prisons is preferable to the current US system but you’ve essentially just reinvented government and police in all but name.

                Positions of power like that in anarchist societies are usually held in rotation or fully democratically.

                i gotta be honest with you, do you really think no anarchist philosopher ever thought of that?
