    I’m not sure what you are clarifying for but I can at least make my point more explicit : I didn’t use anarchism in a derogatory manner, on the contrary. I was trying to highlight that anarchism, like democracy, is demanding because it demands of its participants to actually take part.

      anarchism, like democracy,

      ???

      Anarchism is democracy. Democracy is not only representative democracy, that’s probably the least democratic form behind the exclusionary types (men only, landowners only, nobles only, etc).

      I disagree with the assertion of a power vacuum because anarchists propose new power structures, not the chaotic capitalist strawman.

      And we aren’t dedicated or educated enough for representatives either - garbage in, garbage out. Representation isn’t a filter through which bad votes become good policy. We’re destroying the biosphere at maximum speed because voters are misinformed.
