You're discussing the technical side, while the parent comment is pointing out the main issue lies largely on the social / organizational side, which the article just conveniently handwaves away.

Sorry, but you seem to fail to understand the argument, both me and the article make regarding the "social / organizational side": There is no technical reason why an "anarchist community" couldn't produce insulin in sufficient quantities and everything else can't be known at this point in time and is moot to speculate about.

Ok, let's clarify.

We both agree that the technical aspect is not an issue. So let's drop that point.

The question that usually comes up is, how might the community / organisation be structured in such a way that complex and critical goods can be reliably manufactured?

I'm interested in theories and proposals, methods by which this could believably be implemented. Nothing will happen without at least a proposal or blueprint to base discussion or action upon. Proposing to tear down the current system without a single idea of how we would replace critical functions is utter foolishness.

Finally, someone who at least speaks (if not thinks) in a true libertarian way!

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
