Anarchism. We used it for most of human history

Total horseshit.

Name one society based on Anarchism

Instead of just one, here's a whole Wikipedia article on the subject.

Those do not meet the criteria of what was asked.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Examples of intentional anarchical societies don't meet the criteria of anarchical societies?

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

This was the actual original request

Can you give one example of a long-term, large scale, non-hierarchical system in human society?

Nothing on that page is an example of this

I spent 5 seconds during my morning routine to look this up. Would you rather I spend 3 hours writing a dissertation on all of the indigenous communities that have existed since prehistory that are structured in an egalitarian and anarchical way? You're also allowed to look this shit up. I recommend Andrewism on youtube, he pulls a lot of examples from anarchical indigenous societies

I'd rather you not post dumb pro-anarchy takes. That requires 0 seconds out of your day.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Got it, we're not allowed to question bourgeois democracy or capitalism. Good to know. I've officially stopped being an anarcho-syndicalist because you don't like it.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I don't care what you do because no percent of the population is suddenly going to rise up in an anarchist wave, ever

Go start a commune. I don't care. I genuinely wish you and your (149 or fewer, ideally) friends well.

The fact that you think anyone who isn't an anarchist must be a capitalist shows you understand politics at the level of a toddler.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't think that, stop prescribing my beliefs. Most people aren't capitalists. To be a capitalist, you must own means of production. That person essentially said "I don't want to critically think about your positions, so stop talking". I treated that response with the appropriate amount of seriousness it deserved.

And where are they today?

Can you give one example of a long-term, large scale, non-hierarchical system in human society?

[-] kenopsik@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Long-term =/= Permanent

Humans have existed much, MUCH longer than our current structure of civilization.

The title of the article actually disproves your assertion.
