This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In non anarchist countries they can be arrested and face trial, and there are many barriers in place to prevent them from taking total control in the first place.
In Anarchy it's literally handed to them and the only recourse is to abduct or kill that guy.
That's why nations last hundreds of years and Anarchies last days.
Give one historical example of this happening to an anarchist commune?
also anarchists have all of those legal frameworks in place as well, this is simply not true and has no historical basis.
In nearly every example I have read about they have been destroyed through military might of an external power, see revolutionary catalonia and the zapatistas as examples. It turns out rich capitalists don't want anarchism to work, and desperately try to destroy it.
