I’m trying to point out the flaw here. If you give the social worker the power to do that, suddenly you’re creating power hierarchies, which goes against the whole idea.
no it doesn’t. not necessarily, anyway. authorities don’t need to automatically vanish in an anarchy. instead they may need to prove the purpose of their existence. there is literature on non-state justice systems. communism and anarchism comes from thinkers, economists and philosophers. it’s not like they didn’t just think of crime at all.
If you have power hierarchies and authorities, it is no longer anarcho-syndicalism. So I think you’re proving my point. Also, when would these social workers with this authority ever vanish? After some sort of eugenics program to eliminate all dangerous mental illnesses from humanity?
No, I think an anarchist society won’t work on a large scale because mentally ill people commit murders and you will have to have a power structure to deal with them. And then suddenly you have classes of people with different levels of power.
Anarchism is unavoidable? Where are you seeing that? Because I’m seeing the world spinning into an ultracapitalist death-spiral which will end with the deaths of billions of people.
Require how? How would this be enforced?
i don’t know man, some sort of social worker takes them away. you’re asking me specifics like I’m going to build my own society right now.

so you think murder is or should be free in an anarchist society?

yeah. anarchy doesn’t mean lawlessness.
I never said it did. I’m talking about power structures and hierarchies. You keep putting words in my mouth.
And from what I’ve seen in my lifetime and in the history of the world it’s almost unavoidable.
