Religion is a monstrous evil.

Yeah but letting old people drive is like letting blind people drive. Sometimes literally.

Exactly. That’s like saying firing a gun into crowded theater and killing people is “involuntary manslaughter.”

In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

Anarchy is the rejection of unjust hierarchies, not all hierarchies. Certainly a parent would have authority over a small child insofar as that’s reasonably justified. Similarly, some expert may be elected to a position where they’re democratically authorized to make specific decisions so we don’t have to vote a thousand times a day about specialized matters.

On the whole, anarchism just means a lot more democracy.
