So, you have the absence of, or nonrecognition of authority ?
Can the anarchist exist in the absence of authority ?
There is either authority or there is not.
My definition of anarchy is a battle against authority and, ultimately a state of disorder and confusion due to absence of authority.
It’s either an action or a noun.
In my world, the anarchist is, and will always be, fighting authority.
But, Anarchy is their goal, which would logically, once achieved, leave the “Anarchist” with nothing left to fight for.
Let me try to clarify.
The Anarchist is ALWAYS in a battle against authority.
It is an action.
Anarchy, is the state in which there is no authority.
Therefore, in, or under, Anarchy, the Anarchist CAN NOT EXIST.
