    your ideal society has a mechanism for depersoning a certain group of people to the point that they can be sent to die in the wilderness?

      I’m open to alternatives, that’s the whole point. I don’t think imprisonment is right, and it doesn’t work regardless. Obviously this isn’t a first transgression punishment, but how would you deal with a person that refuses to contribute and only takes, despite being fully able to? This is a good discussion

        i do not have any big ideas for the justice system of your anarchist society, i’m not the anarchist. i don’t have anarchist solutions. being ‘open to alternatives’ isn’t particularly comforting given that you seem perfectly willing to default back to ritual murder by exile if you don’t find something you like. i’m not interested in a society that has a built-in death toll for a particular group of people.

          You’re looking for problems instead of solutions.

          Is it against the ethos to exclude anybody? Sure.

          Is reality a bitch and does a line need to be drawn somewhere? Also yes.

          You’re obviously being disingenuous but if anybody else is interested in the concept I’d welcome your critiques.

            i like a lot of anarchism, it was the first political ideology i really identified with. this is the thing that turned me off of it - both the casting of a certain group of people (people who i have known) as unworthy of society and the ever-frustrating lie that someone must be left behind. i would be thrilled if anarchism had a solution not motivated or executed cruelly. i have not found one in anarchism, and i don’t think it’s disingenuous for me ask you for one or to say that i find your acceptance callous.
