I thought anarchists wanted no system at all.

Tell me you know nothing about anarchism without telling me you know nothing about anarchism

Sorry I could have been nicer about it. Anarchists advocates for societies that are highly structured in many ways. For example federalism, direct democracy, voluntary association. Anarchist groups and societies (like Makhnovshchina, Spain during the civil war etc.) model themselves after these principles. Here is some more info about it.

Isn’t anarchy all about there being no government and everybody just cooperates?

Think of it more like a series of local councils and trade unions where everyone votes and has an equal voice.

No that’s a different ideology. Not sure what it’s called.

True anar is no system at all period. Everything that happens happens and there’s no rhyme or reason for it. A bit like the ass backwards Murphy’s law people talk about. Like war without rules kind of.

What you are talking about is a collective source of responsibility that is shared amongst a community. You decide where your taxes go and what it funds, how it affects your life, and what the ruling body does with it.

I have no answers but I feel like that is a proper explanation.

That’s not what the ideology is about. That’s actually not even possible, since in a structureless society, some system of hierarchies would emerge. This is called the “hierarchy of structurelessness” and what anarchists actually work against.

In anarchist ideology, there is no “ruling body”. Or rather: The ruling body is the people.
