Response: Anarchy isn't chaos. It's order without rulers. The most common lie about anarchism is that it's about Molotov cocktails and lawless streets—no, that's just capitalism on a bad day. Anarchy is the radical notion that people can organize themselves without some blood-soaked bureaucracy dictating terms at gunpoint.
We already live in anarchy—just the worst kind. The kind where a handful of psychopaths hoard power and resources while the rest of us beg for scraps. The state isn’t the opposite of chaos; it’s the cause of it. Every war, every economic collapse, every engineered crisis is brought to you by the same people who claim we *need* them to prevent disorder.
They say anarchy is unrealistic. Meanwhile, they’ve convinced us that a system where billionaires exist alongside starving children is the *only* possible reality. The propaganda is so thick you could choke on it.
The empire managers want you to believe hierarchy is natural, inevitable. It’s not. It’s enforced. And it requires your consent. Withdraw it.
(Also, if you think anarchy means "no rules," ask yourself who wrote the rules you live under now—and whose interests they serve.)

The most obvious beat down our kids get is public education.
Designed in the mid-1800s to provide workers for factories, it's a conveyor belt,
an assembly line.
Children enter school as whole humans.
They leave as people who have learned to survive an environment that wasn’t built for them.
Not because kids fail.
Because the system fails them.
Bottom line: The adults in the community fund public education to harm our children.
Then we wonder why suicide is the number two cause of death for that age category.
there are many anarchist Sci-Fi writers, e.g. Octavia Butler, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11245-026-10410-9
Amazing. So very well said.
This is the last in my anarchism series for a while. Previous articles on this subject have included:
What Is Anarchism? - https://peacefulrevolutionary.substack.com/p/what-is-anarchism?r=25vj2b
Love Is Anarchism - https://peacefulrevolutionary.substack.com/p/love-is-anarchist
& Misunderstanding Anarchism - https://peacefulrevolutionary.substack.com/p/misunderstanding-anarchism?r=25vj2b
In a couple weeks I’m moving on to other subjects such as anti-capitalism, radical fiction and moral philosophy for the rest of the year.
