/anarcho/ - Anarchism Board

I don't like your picture so fuck your thread

Same way russia does.

"those aren't OUR men, anyone can buy a uniform in a store and then go shoot ukrainians."

Anarchists don't abide by laws. Anarchists abide by reason and mutual consent.

>>8254
But the outside world does abide by them.

>>8255
>because most people do something means we should too

Laws are social handicaps, they are proof that a society is unable to get along without chaining itself down to certain parameters, the social contract is a contract of inadequacy. OP is being silly cause anarchists wouldn't have a 'country.'

>>8262
Im saying an anarchy would or might be punished for breaking the laws, how would the society deal with the punishment?

Depends on the law, which party is in breach of the law, and how badly the international community is coming after us.

To be honest, this kind of situation is unlikely, but should it come up… say, a person spends a lot of time in the Free Land and works as an arms dealer, well, as the Free Land is not a state and does not have the responsibility to manage the affairs of any individual within it, the individual alone is responsible for the violation of that law. If the international community would address any parties in the Free Land which are prominent vocal anarchists or community leaders, (community leaders being those who participate in dealing with issues such as infrastructure, agriculture, local rules, organizing public meetings, and other small but essential tasks, and whom obviously seek the input and assistance of their communities,) it is easy for those persons to distance themselves from the individual responsible without condoning the international community's use of Law. If a party was to use this individual's actions to justify the invasion of the Free Land, in addition to the guerrilla warfare tactics they now have to compete against, they are also opening themselves up to being victims of damning propaganda campaigns.

Basically this guy's got the right idea, although the Statist parties might not necessarily buy our tactic of distancing ourselves from any guy that tries to make trouble with people outside of the Free Land.

Also, I think the OP might be more talking about what would happen if the remaining statist powers still insisted on trying to bring us to court for engaging in revolution. Obviously, we would drive them out if it came to that. But the question is how would a decentralized area choose the people that would represent it, and logistically get them to where they needed to be and have them be in agreement with each other, in a peace settlement with a statist power.

Probably it would similar to the process you've already described in regards to people in anarchist territories going to statist areas and getting in to trouble.

>>8250
Is "anarchism in one country" even possible as opposed to some sort of global revolution?

>>8277
Perfectly possible, if Kurdistan as it is currently is any indicator. Sure, it is young, but Democratic Confederalism seems to be showing promise.

well not to trot out somalia as an example of anarchism or anything since of course it isn't really.

but regarding the fact that somalia does not in truth have any sort of a functioning state. i will use it as an example of dealing with international law without a state.

basically. anrchia would get invaded an bombed pretty regularly. most of the international relations would bein the form of attacks on anarchia's banking systems (if there were any) and actual attempts to grab territory and set up a puppet state in the country to be controlled by imperialist nations like the US.

any actual negotiations howver concernign international law would probably mostly be done by either pirates who seize and hold ships for ransom. and those would deal mostly with insurance companies instead of any sort of international courts or anything. or it would be various militia's negotiating terms with foreign invaders.

which is to say international law hasn't got shit to do with a country that doesn't have a state. since of court there is in fact no state with which to negotiate.
