It sounds like the dialogue of Monty Python:
“We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We’re taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week, but all the decisions *of* that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs - but by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major issues.”
“Help! Help! We’re being repressed!!”
I’m a limited government Conservative. I like the US Constitution very much because it was intended to sharply constrain the federal government.
In my younger days, I pushed the concept of limited government a lot farther and I supported philosophical anarchism. Specifically anarcho-syndicalism. The Monty Python bit always amused me. As far as theory goes, syndicalism can have some appeal because it puts people directly in charge of their own situation. They have real “skin in the game” and would be unlikely to tolerate scams and corruption that only benefit some distant political class.
However, as I grew up and recognized the truth of Human Nature, I realized that Anarchism — avoidance of all government — isn’t a workable idea. You need some kind of government. Some degree of authorized force in order to maintain a civil society. Without rules, you have nothing.
These kids in Seattle may never grow up. They may switch from anarcho-syndicalism to full-blown Communist Dictatorship. Hey! Let’s all be like North Korea! Everyone seems happy there!
