Imagine the mainstream to be whatever a reasonably informed person that don't think anarchism could work thinks.

I ask this casually, I don't expect you to back all claims with citations or anything. I'm interested in learning what you think. I don't have the knowledge for it to turn into a debate.

I guess you hear a lot of the same arguments/questions, do you have a FAQ or something? (sometimes I think there should exist some wiki with FAQs about all political views, these discussions tend to cycle into the same)

We are anarchists with our friends, our families. We are anarchists when disaster strikes and we need to solve a problem, we are anarchists when we work on things a lot of the time, when we learn a task with peers we are anarchists while we study or practice.

When we interact with strangers and resolve disputes we are usually anarchists, the law basically only becomes involved in peoples' lives when things are seriously fucked up and it's usually a horrible experience.

Why can't we just be anarchists a bit more? and then after that and so on? where does it suddenly not work and why is that so?
