Exactly, you advocate a different system, and all you provide is prove you wrong. When you say empty things like "Armed working class civilians with a watchful eye and a mind for self defense" that's true, but you aren't describing a system, just a neighborhood.
Come on mate, get back in your element.
This is an anti-system ideology.
The world should be ruled by people, not systems.
Gangs would provide that role in the hood.That's how we end up with Somalia
You just showed you do not understand philosophical anarchism at all.
Street gangs are states. The US government is no different than the mafia.
Anarchism rejects both gangs and states, because they are in essence the same exact thing.
Anarchism promotes organized insurrection and civilian volunteer militias. Any "system" would involve providing for the public and common defence void of subjugation.
