The video above illustrates children (natural anarchists) solving problems by grabbing and a parent teaching what most humans regard as civilized behavior.
What I Mean When I Say I’m An Anarchist
says Anna Austin Ronan.
My reaction is similar to Jordan’s. Humans are social animals. We are always in contact with others.
Anarchism is the natural psychology of two year old children.
You have a toy or a piece of candy I want. I take it away from you because I am stronger than you are. Might makes right.
Most of the time, parents or guardians teach children to share and and respect the rights of others, as shown in the video.
Either Anna Austin Ronan has led a very sheltered life or she is a natural bully.
The history of Homo sapiens is one of war, crime, stealing, murdering, etc.
Without rules, laws, and enforcement humans very easily fall into unrestrained selfishness and violence.
I have had a close relative murdered. My ancestors were all Eastern European Jews. The experienced the very real armed selfishness of people such as the followers of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.
I look forward to hearing from Anna whether she has experienced or engaged in violence or theft and if so, what she did about it, or what was done about it to her.
