    The fact that they’re considering denying access to basic human necessities like food indicates that they aren’t anarchists. That would constitute a form of hierarchical authority, which is not permissable.

    Unless of course they’re all anarcho-primitivists and don’t believe in large-scale agriculture, without which you couldn’t feed everyone. In that case, they’re just stupid :P

      Help me out here.

      Adam grows enough food for himself, eats said food, then spends the rest of his time watching movies. Bob and Charlie don’t grow any food, Bob spends his time keeping the reactor from melting down, and Charlie spends all his time at the movies.

      Who exactly is exercising “hierarchal authority” over who? Is Adam exercising hierarchal authority over Bob and Charlie for not growing enough food for them? Are Bob and Charlie exercising hierarchal authority over each other by not providing each other with food? How does this work exactly?

      Would it be exerting heirarchal authority for me to go out right now and plant some potatoes in my backyard and then eat them once they’re grown? Am I exerting heirarchal authority right now by posting, rather than spending this time growing food to give to the hungry?
