    While your version of anarchy works on a micro level amongst friends, unfortunately, it would not work on a macro national level. Or even state level. Or even city level.

    You’re also basically describing voting. People come together and express their opinion and the opinion with the most support wins.

    So, not anarchism.

        They can vote to poll consensus but there is no mechanism to enforce a policy based on a vote; following the vote is voluntary. Not making a point here per se, just clarifying what we mean by “vote”. (Unless the above is wrong?)

          All of anarchism is technically voluntary. The community would come up with a way to emforce it.

            Wouldn’t having a decision enforced on you make following it not a voluntary choice?

            If the community can enforce involuntary decisions on someone as the result of a vote, isn’t that democracy, not anarchy?
