          If literally everyone’s needs are met, why would anyone side with a warlord?

          Hmm I can participate in society with basically zero obligations other than “mind my own business”, or I can give up all my power to a strongman.

          Obviously communes are able to defend themselves, I don’t know why you seem to think they wouldn’t.

          Go read some theory and get back to me. Theanarchistlibrary.org is right there

            Im not looking for a fight, so no worries.

            I feel like its really easy to poke holes in anarchy but maybe we should just try to be good people so that the state is rendered useless.

            Because everyone’s needs being met =/= everyone’s desires being met.

              Authoritarians create crisis then claim power. It doesnt matter if everyone’s needs are being met. They will create chaos and then become the savior, being, “the only one who can fix it” ignoring the fact they created the problem in the first place.
