this is a very common objection i hear and i was wondering if could get an answer.

how will we enforce communal ownership in a large society without a centralized super government to moderate those exchanges?

Or Autonomist Marxism, I heard that there are also Anarchists who identify as Autonomists, so I chose to ask this there

Anarchy and religion.

9 Upvotes

How would anarchy and religion coexist with one another is a theoretical anarchist system (or lack thereof) took hold? People aren’t going to easily give up on their beliefs, and it wouldn’t be very wise to try and force them to do so.

How would a religion such as Catholicism exist? It is by nature a hierarchical religion, and requires the hierarchy to exist. You couldn’t just say “we’ll remove the hierarchy and it would be fine” since without the hierarchy there would be Catholicism. No priests to administer sacraments, no bishops to ordain priests, no pope to pick new bishops.

I’m a Catholic and interested in your views on this. I have been curious about this for awhile.

How easy is it to live on the outside and be ungoverned?

So I've got this idea that's been stuck in my head forever now , of just living off a bicycle traveling up and down the east Coast to avoid shitty temperatures and living on side to society, have nice set of clothes in my pack to blend in when not traveling, shop lifting from mega corps when I need something, maybe do a performance act whenever I wanna get money. And hang out at libraries and colleges for the WiFi and access to media

I've lived without a phone plan for about 2 years now , don't own a car and ride an ebike in rural area , sleep in a hammock in the house, and shoplift 60% of my grocery bill . I'm 20 something and live with my partner which is the only reason I haven't gone off and done it yet because they wanna live a normal life , I'm gonna get a job at Wally world grabbing carts cause I just wanna listen to audio books all day and use my body

And my main question is , would doing it be all that much of jump for me or is probably just day dreaming for me ?
