    I do not think laws are incompatible with anarchic society, as long as these laws are democratically created and there is free association with the society as a whole.

    how do you “democratically” create laws? Will people vote to create those laws and what’s going to happen to people who disagree with those “democratically created laws”?

      Their vision of anarchy is just democracy that agrees with them because they don’t want to participate in the democracy they already have.

        Direct democracy is not the same as representative democracy. We have a ruling class that we elect. A direct democracy doesn’t. There are other options to solve the issue too.

      even assuming that a group of free people without classes or coercion would choose to make a law, it can’t possibly apply to people who didn’t consent to it.

      so it’s no law at all. and such a law dies when one of the last two agreed people die.

      it simply makes no sense for a system of consent and consensus to implement laws.
