We already live in anarchy at an international level. If there weren't national organizations stealing from everyone to force people into wars we would probably have much less global conflict & much more trade without unnecessary disruption.

Yes, actually it's true. I work in international trade and right there already no recourse in case of need for formal conflict resolution methods, so we all just operate under the principle of caution and, if you someone fucks you over, perhaps peer pressure mechanisms (denouncing them on public forums and shaming them).

There will always be fucking over. What matters is how many entities that matter find out and choose their futures and perhaps retaliations based on that knowledge. When fucking someone over more reliably leads to fucking oneself over on a relevant time frame, then the incentive to play nice is stabilised. It's a game theory thing. Mutualism is a naturally occurring phenomenon stabilised by shared interests in prosperity

The term anarchy has been broken from loose usage suffering redefinition to 'chaotic' with connotations of disorder, violence and decay Decentralised as a term is functionally descriptive, apolitical and underwrites the philosophy of decentralism. Decentralism can be organically promoted as a public good to any audience. The processes of nature are decentralised, as is evolution. The digital revolution has put the power to form decentralised collectives with economic capabilities in our an pockets. To grow successfully it must grow amid the competition of government corruption by offering new capabilities for uncensored organising of voting blocks and candidature in local election. More apps and integrations focussed on direct democracy.. Democracy was originally intended to decentralised power to mass interest by representation. It needs rebuilding so that it can't be bought Decentralisms first goal is true consent democracy, that allows further decentralisation.
