  • Anarchists can organize just fine.

    Organized anarchism isn’t anarchism anymore.

    Now if what you want to argue is that detached highly concentrated power is capable of ordering atrocities and enforcing people to commit the atrocities in their name? Then yes they absolutely have the advantage.

    I’m not talking about just the atrocities. I’m talking bare economic efficiency - bunch of organized people are doing things faster and with lower amount of effort - and they will inevitably use that advantage to increase their standards of living. Suddenly you have an inequality.

    Of course this issue encompasses also efficiency of criminal activity - organized crime pays more than not organized crime.

    But the end result in both cases is the same - some people are better off than others

    In short I strictly disagree with the statement:

    in terms of actually doing the business of the people and governing. No there is no advantage.


  • I think it’s possible to get very close

    My problem with this, is that organized groups have always advantage over disorganized groups, whether in crime or in legit manufacturing/services. You have neverending growth of these groups into social classes. The closer you want to get to classless society, the harder and more oppressive you have to go against that social phenomena. And I’ve never seen a good explanation who would enforce the laws keeping the society close to that “classless” state
