Anarchy is a political structure where there’s basically no one in charge, right? But wouldn’t that just create a power vacuum that would filled by organized crime, corporations, etc.? Then, after that power vacuum is filled, we’re right back at square one, and someone is in charge.
Are there any political theorists that have come up with a solution to this problem?
I am not sure if I would call it Anarchism if it has explicit structures
anarchism isn’t against structure, it’s against a few people holding power.
I’d in fact argue the whole point of anarchy is to put structures into place that make sure no one person gains too much power.
Maybe you’re using some formal or narrow definition of “structure” but in my experience there are lots of things I would call structures in anarchist theory and practice, from meeting templates to the mental flowcharts of emergency medicine.
