It's kind of annoying when trying to explain anarchy to people who have been misled into believing it's something it isn't... and so they make comments or have tangents about it.


If you ignore tyranny and create your own life, there is peace. Anarchism is just like that true peace.


When I'm talking to people who are misinformed about anarchy or have misunderstood it, I tell them to really look into it if they want to stop feeling black-pilled and terrible toward the world today, with all the existential angst that political BS and doomscrolling can bring about.


I start by explaining that the stuff they show on TV news of people destroying things is NOT anarchy. Anarchy means no RULERS, not no rules, because anarchists are peaceful people who are not governed by anyone and especially not usually each other (except we may often decide on things by taking polls, using sociocracy, and people volunteering their leadership and expertise in certain areas) but only act voluntarily, practice good morals/manners, know how (or share how) to do things for ourselves, as well as help others without being taxed to or forced to (i.e., mutual aid).


These are obviously just examples in my own words. What do YOU say to people when you would like them to understand anarchy better?

PS - I'm not asking for tips, I am asking people what they usually say about it in discussions with others.
