Currently watching The Diamond Heist on Netflix, and it makes me realise that the vast majority of anarchic activists seem completely ignorant of the role intelligence agencies play and the government’s responsibility to protect its citizens during times of uncertainty. Despite their calls for anarchy, it’s evident that no matter how strongly some wish to eradicate government, structures of governance—or at least organised authority—are both inevitable and essential. This isn’t just true in the context of the show; it’s a broader reflection of how human societies function. Even in the absence of formal government, some form of leadership, order, and enforcement would naturally emerge. The desire for total freedom often overlooks the reality that safety, stability, and even basic cooperation require structure—something that pure anarchy can rarely sustain.
