Capitalism is a more primitive form of human interaction than Anarchism.
Anarchism is a step forward in freedom and morality.
Capitalism is immoral. A dictatorship unless proven to be needed is immoral.
But the power of capitalists may destroy everything before any progress from it can take place.
Ok, fine but anarchism is a utopian pipe dream. It's based on Rosseau's noble savage theory, which was wrong. Also, it's part of an utopian movement 1840 - 1940 which is pretty much dead today. Every anarchist experiment all went badly.
I think you're in a headspace where you can only be bitter about the world. Anarchism is never going to happen again.
The word anarchism today is commonly used for a state of affairs where everybody is raping and robbing each other left and right. It's a "might makes right" society. It's the inevitable result of trying to put anarchism into practice. Since it seems to happen each time, how about stopping with trying to put it into practice?
Saying that anarchists all failed because of a conspiracy of capitalists, monarchists and fascists, just won't cut it. Whatever system you have has to be strong enough to fight off any other system. And anarchism isn't. It's an inherrently extremely unstable system. That will most likely implode all by itself if left to it's own devices. Because humans are morons. It requires very little opposing force to fold like a house of cards.
The systems we have in place today exist because they are robust. That's why they still exist. Monarchy is a horrendous system. Yet, still popular around the world. Because it's robust as fuck. Robustness matters.
So Untermensch, how about getting real for a moment?
