    Anarchists do believe in board game rules. Just that they think that using house rules everyone agrees on is a great idea.

      Kinda. The most important part is that if someone disagrees with the house rules, they can choose to disassociate from the house and go somewhere else. There’s no state to say “this open field that’s not utilized is mine, bitch!” and then taze you.

        There’s the state neighbouring anarchists who can’t form a state and so probably anarchists exist protected within the borders of some state unless some state respects not a state

        However a state cannot acknowledge existence of something that doesn’t exist and has no joint body of commonality. Hence genghis khan moment. A state conquers the ownerless land.

        Thus emergents from this Darwinian history are states. Squashing individuality in name of security against genghis khans.

        Anarchism remains a purely theoretical thought exercise or a relic of the far past tribes

          U r assuming that anarchists would be peaceful n just roll over on their backs to show their tummies to Genghis Khan.

          The goal of anarchism is freedom. The existence of a State means no freedom. Thus, anarchist militias unite to fight this threat. A stateless society doesn’t equate an unorganised society.

            Good luck being efficient and quick without central command and centralised power. There’s a reason anarchism didn’t survive evolutionary process.

            Our economic systems and governing method are direct outcome of evolution. If they will be unfit for the contemporary reality they will die as all things do in nature that we are part of. Strongest and most resilient emerge. So far it’s been liberal democracy but there’s nothing that says this is a permanent victor

              Who said there would be no centralised command? It would just be opt out. If an individual/community wanted to opt out of this, there would be noone forcing them to not do so.

              As for evolution of political systems due to natural selection, would you say the same about democracy? Stable democracy that we know about today has existed only for the past 300 years. Women got the right to vote this century. If u r living under a dictatorship, would you use the same argument of natural selection to not fight for a democracy?

                Who? Well maybe because if there are 1000 of communities all with different ideas then good luck agreeing to any basic thing like who is going to lead that command.

                I would like to see this 🤣

      Just that they think that using house rules everyone agrees on is a great idea.

      I can think of one or two times where house rules were appropriate, and a couple of dozen times where they broke the game. I think that you should only apply a house rule where 1) the game is already broken and 2) you’re reasonably sure that the house rule won’t break it further. It’s good for when an otherwise fun game is ruined by something that the game designers overlooked.

        Well, if you were someone playing a game with them, then you can incorporate this. The point is that it’s not obligatory and is based on the people participating
