I think you're conflating community with government. You can have community without government, and government without community. You can be someone who hates government and rejects their authority, who also loves their community and readily admits dependence on them, and this is not contradictory. Voluntary communities and governments exist all the time
- Eisenstein 3y agoWhat happens when the community wants to build a road, or stop a member from assaulting others, or provide defense against invaders? What would you call the coalition of people who come together in the community and are given the authority to provide such actions?
- deterministic 3y agoAll communities have some form of government. It is just called “the elders” or “the council” or whatever instead. All humans are a mix of good and evil. So you need a system in place to minimise the negative impact of this. This is BTW the reason why utopian societies always fail.
