| Oct 28, 2021 at 10:15 | comment | added | Paul Johnson | The iron law of oligarchy (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy) states that "who says organisation, says oligarchy". As soon as a group of people decide that they need to act collectively then they need to organise themselves, and as soon as you have organisation you have people doing the organising. These people are an embryonic government, and pretty soon they evolve into a real government by excluding people they don't like from the collective endeavour. | |

Ruling other living/not-living things is a desire we all share. Just look at the anarchy minecraft server 2b2t, there wasn't a defined power structure at the start, but then people started to create one | |

| Feb 22, 2015 at 6:54 | comment | added | Tyler | Not at all an answer, but if you'd like two examples of leaders doing the exact opposite of your examples, refusing to use/abuse the state apparatus: archive.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard107.html. In short, Pennsylvania spent 14 years in a relatively anarchistic state during the colonial period. | |
| Feb 21, 2015 at 5:18 | comment | added | Tyler | You may get a better answer if you specify what school of anarchism you're interested in knowing about. I don't know enough about other schools to say for sure, but I doubt the anarcho-capitalists and, e.g., anarcho-socialists agree on this. | |
