It sounds like you had a heated discussion on TikTok Live, which can be frustrating when you feel someone is misrepresenting concepts.
To address your point about anarchism being synonymous with democracy, it's essential to note that the term "anarchism" has been co-opted and distorted by some individuals. In reality, anarchy refers to a political philosophy that advocates for the abolition of all forms of government and authority. Anarchists believe in the absence of coercive power structures, such as states, and instead advocate for voluntary associations, community decision-making, and mutual aid.
Anarchism is not equivalent to democracy, which implies representation, voting, and governance through elected officials. In contrast, anarchic societies are often characterized by decentralized decision-making, direct action, and the absence of hierarchical power structures.
Regarding your interlocutor's claim that you didn't understand what anarchy was, it's possible they were trying to dismiss your perspective or create a false sense of authority. Some individuals might use this approach to silence others or assert their own perceived knowledge.
If you'd like to engage with the concept of anarchism further, I'm here to help facilitate a respectful and informative discussion. Would you like me to provide more context or clarify some key aspects of anarchic thought?
