The issue people tend to have with anarchism tends to be some desire to control and define every facet of governance and life in some utopian ideal, despite no system that does involves government ever actually operating along some robotic algorithm in this manner.

I don't have a utopian idea to strive to. I have a principle of non-aggression which I aim to see implemented when it can, where it can, and how it can be. As with most things in life, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

There will always be places where someone exercises power in a way that will not be perfectly justified, either because there is a need to act more quickly than communication will allow, because of heated emotions, or other circumstances beyond our control. What matters is how we bring things back to harmony after the fact, and look to improve moving forward.

A community is like a marriage, but with a lot more people. Force is not the best medicine.
