 This is why I said it’s a meme ideology. It’s like communism. Great in theory. Horrible in practice. 
 Communism is not even great in theory. Its flawed as an ideology as its built on an incorrect theory of value and suffers from the economic calculatiom problem. An anarchist society may be difficult to achieve but its not ignoring human nature. Its basically just a moral framework IMO.  
 It’s a moral framework for autistic people. Nuero typical people don’t understand the non aggression principle and never will. 
 thanks for bringing this to light for me. I was very confused about why bitcoiners seemed to believe that voting is a moral failure, but I guess it makes sense if they come from an anarchist background, and while we can agree that bitcoin solves the biggest problem of our time, just because anarchists understood bitcoin earlier doesn’t mean that anarchy is the solution to our current political situation (and actually, as you mentioned, it cannot exist in the real world at any meaningful scale)
