Anarchism - Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that seeks to abolish institutional authority, coercion, and social hierarchies—most notably the state and capitalism—replacing them with stateless societies based on voluntary association, mutual aid, and free cooperation.
Yes, in our NON-ANARCHIST society, anarchists are allowed to vote. If anarchists got what they wanted, then voting wouldn’t be a thing because the state wouldn’t be a thing.
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?)
Anarchists are allowed to vote. What are you talking about?

All of anarchism is technically voluntary. The community would come up with a way to emforce it.
Ah yes, the classic anarchist move. To simply state “we’d figure it out”, when presented with the difficult questions.
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?
Correct- but anarchists are either 15 year olds, or completely mentally fried druggies. They don’t think that far ahead.
Anarchism; it works until you start thinking about it.
Like any political ideology
