Why isn't Anarchism more popular?

Cause some people are too ignorant to even know what it is let alone live that way of life.

Although those who wish to live that way should be able to live that way in my opinion.

Total self-sufficiency is idealism. It's hard enough for one person, let alone everybody. People are going to want to help each other out, and BAM you've got a society of people.

I think what we need is for people to call each other out on their bullcrap more often to enforce honesty. I think the situation is far from dire.

Okay, lets have total anarchy. Thousands will be robbed, they will be raped and murdered in their own homes with their children watching, those who survive will die due to lack of food and clean water and waste would take over.

I don't understand how people think anarchy is the way forward, if you hate how society is run for parliament and change all the laws completely.

Because real anarchism actually requires effort and self-sufficiency.

History has proven that the majority of people (especially urban folks) really don't like that sort of thing.

Because most people, even the dumb ones, can spot a political following that isnt progressive at all.
