    Mandatory “there’s more than one version”. You might think anarchism is also bullshit but it’s not North Korea.

      Yet somehow every version is a totalitarian clusterfuck.

            Off the top of my head, 2. One with no UN seat and one long gone, to be fair, but they still exist and are/were sovereign. You can’t say either turned into totalitarianism.

            Maybe you could say they would have or will, but that’s just your guess. I could say the same thing about liberal democracy and be equally as well supported.

                Republican Spain and the “Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria” AKA Rojava.

                Republican Spain had some communist factions too, but Rojava is explicitly built around a specific strain of anarchism, and is an “administration” instead of a government. I doubt it looks very anarchist in practice, but that’s neither here nor there, and they’re democratic enough the US has endorsed them in the past to Turkey’s great displeasure.

                  Republican Spain was a military faction in a Spanish Civil War, not a country.

                  Rojava is Kurdish separatist group, not a country.

                    Bullshit. They have flags, bureaucracies and a monopoly on the use of force within their territory. I will not argue semantics with you.
