Yeah but we can’t use it; it’s why lots of anarchists like wh40k but none of us can play it.

Just be Orks, its the closest to what a freshly developed anarchy would be… Power vacuum, warlords, etc

Nuh uh! They’re participating in lively debate through which all parties can come to a ruling by consensus! They’re just really good at it. Um, what’s a ruler again anyways? 🤔

Who enforces the rules if they exist? There is a difference between ruler and enforcer. The fact I have to point this out is sad.

The game itself only exists while its rules are being followed. They don’t need to be externally enforced, the collective agreement to play the game implies agreeing to its rules.

Everyone.

As opposed to disciplinary action carried out by a central authority, rule breakers just get slapped by every community member in a revolving door fashion.

Are there criminal records? Are they kept on decentralised ledgers like crypto?

How to be anarchist:

Step 1: follow the rules we all agree upon.

Step 2: don’t play (cohabitate) with people who refuse to follow the agreed upon rules.

Step 3: enjoy peaceful game (life) with people who don’t shit on their own activities just to win.

You’d be surprised at how difficult it is to find rules we can all agree on.

You can usually find them in the box with the rest of the game.

Those are the first thing that get lost, together with half the plastic tanks (probably eaten by the dog or your little cousin). So in the end, you make up some of the rules and use tinfoil instead of the tanks.

Btw, did you know you can get a loan from the Monopoly bank with interests at market rate? /s

People often confuse anarchists (those who don’t believe in having a political ruling class) with chaos.
