They can use non-violent methods all right when both sides are armed, but when one is not, anarchy says that it will do what the armed one wants.

- psychoslave 3y agoHmm, that’s probably true for some form of anarchy, more in the flavour of an individualist like Max Stirner than a socialist like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon or a communist one like Peter Kropotkin. Which enlighten the fact that probably anarchism is a far too large umbrella to say very specific things about it without giving more details about it. Which is also certainly about most political system that was ever proposed out there.
- Ancapistani 3y agoInteresting. In addition to describing myself as an anarchist, I'm also a strident proponent of the individual's right to own and carry weapons. I wonder just how much of my stance on that topic are a natural outgrowth of my belief in non-coercion. I have some thinking to do :)
