    I’m not talking about a utopian communist anarchy, as in absence of a state. I mean anarchy in the sense of societal collapse and devolution.

    You do not get sunshine and rainbow anarchy from a state violently and suddenly collapsing. You get massive amounts of death and suffering.

    Also you do not get those things under an anarchy. I have yet to hear a sane person explain how communes are going to operate nuclear power plants and massive laboratories to create extremely precise medicine.

      The same way they operate now except the goal will be to help people instead of turning a profit.

      I’m literally an anarchist engineer who could be making twice as much money as I currently am if I worked for a weapons corp but instead I’m designing public water systems for rural communities because I’d rather help people have clean safe tap water than turn human remains into profits.

      This is an awful lot of defending the current capitalist system for a supposedly communist instance.
