Would any form of anarchy ever work, short term or long term?

Anarchists tend to be uneducated youths so no.
Anarchy is about dismantling political systems.
Odds are, people will organize and in a few generations, it will involve into something similar we have right now.
Anarchists are delusional. It's a short term plan.
Anarchocapitalism.
Sure. It is human nature to cooperate and be nice to each other and help each other and not take any more than one needs.

It wouldn't.
I understand the arguments of Ancaps, and why they feel the way they do. It's by far the least edgy form of Anarchism. But it's still wrong.

That is what I have been thinking. Yet it baffles me how anarchism is popular, especially in internet communities
>>78809243
a surprising amount of things work if the constituents are motivated. Scale and organisation are the main obstacles to anarchism, but they are the same obstacles any political system will face
Nope. Inevitably a group or groups will form to gain advantage on resources, group expands and takes control of land, agriculture, essentially entire economy such as it is. Other groups form to pull down the group in power. War. Treaties. Government.
Anarcho-capitalism
Hoppe anarchism, to be precise

Wasn't ancapism rather known as rothbardianism? I still got to read Hoppe, though.

I'd say it probably wouldn't. Socialism (USSR) could be somewhat applied and made work back then in the 20th century but the division of labor has gone incredibly further to the point that centralized control of the economy is barely sustainable. In the same sense that socialism worked better back then and nowadays it quickly leads to famine government will no longer be feasible. I'd say that in the future only voluntary societies will be able to maintain a living standards further than those we have today. And by voluntary I don't mean "everyone-can-vote" "voluntary" tier.
The most probable future according to the current trend and economics is a world with thousands of small nation states that will be forced to keep taxation at a minimum, lest the productive people decide to vote with their feet, which will be way easier. The reduction of the size of jurisdictions and withering of state power is an already confirmed trend since the fall of the Berlin wall, Brexit is just another confirmation that the world is going into such direction.
