Good morning from here,
If the law is incapable of addressing philosophy, is it anything but arbitrary threats of violence?
It's difficult to answer that, I find. First of all, I connote anarchy as something positive, not, as it is generally understood, as "chaos and disorderly coexistence where everyone practices vigilante justice".
But for anarchic communities, I think, smaller groups are needed that are in close and direct relationship with each other and where violations of the natural rules are dealt with responsibly by those involved. I don't think modern people are capable of that at.
The blessing of modernity and technical progress of course carries a curse at the same time.
Modern man has not learned to feel the deep responsibility that perhaps tribal members naturally mustered as they were in immediate dependent relationship with each other. As a modern human being, it is exceedingly difficult to give oneself an identity because direct dependence on other human beings is much less pronounced and less able to be lived.
Governments or proxies have emerged over the centuries and it seems to me that there are certain cycles that mark failure and re-emergence. Within the happenings of these vast societies there must inevitably be disruptions, I think. The alienation of the people's representatives from the people a kind of logical consequence of the way we live together (division of labour, money system, etc.).
The present time seems to me to be very frightening. Perhaps it is much more difficult to have to live with "modern" fear than with the fear of being killed in nature, being the victim of an animal attack or the dangers of nature can cost you your life. Today's fears are much more difficult to confront and the impression that those in power are turning against those they govern is quickly achieved. It is a tragedy in my eyes that trust has been severely damaged here. I have no answers or solutions. But loss of trust in fellow human beings and especially democratic bodies is very bad.
As for myself, ostracism seems like the most effective tool in communities that might share my core principles. I want to encourage repentance and reformation, not punishment and legalism.
I agree on that.
Thank you also for your reply, I appreciate it very much when people treat each other with respect.
