    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.

        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?
