how is anarchism linked to slavery? it's like the polar opposite!
Under anarchy, you can do whatever the fuck you want, including enslaving anyone weaker than you. Come to think of it, anarchy would almost certainly turn into a totalitarian hellhole within a matter of weeks, if not sooner.
pulled to its logical extreme? a la mad max? i see your point. still, this leaves you the opportunity to rebel. why do i hear states' rights activists furiously masturbating?
I wouldn't even say its an extreme example, just a likely outcome. Humans crave order. Eventually, one voice is going to win out over the others and take over, even if just locally. At that point, the local government stops being an anarchic one and shifts into despotic totalitarianism. Its kinda like what happened to Somalia: the central, country-wide government ceased to be and its basically now run by a bunch of warlords. Pure anarchy doesn't work...human nature and all that.
