I occasionally come across the following objection to anarchism:
“We’ve already seen what life is like in places like Somalia where the state has collapsed, and it’s very bad, so we should have states instead of anarchism.”
You’ve probably seen some variation of this argument; maybe the place cited wasn’t Somalia but it almost certainly was a country populated by brown people whom, the critic implies, cannot govern themselves.
The problem with this argument is that it conflates #StateCollapse and #StateFailure with #anarchism, but I would argue that these are very different phenomena.
