It’s a good goal, but not in a competitive world where you can be occupied/exploited… We had a series of small successful small societies all around the world and they were crushed by colonialism.
Eh, the smaller European nations are extremely competitive (BENELUX, Scandinavia, Switzerland), no risk of being conquered by neighbours because a good common foundation has been built.
I agree. That’s why I think anarchism would only work if everyone in the world share the similar values and culture, in others words “like minded” enough to trust each other. But that will take a really long time to happen.
The most successful anarchist society I’ve seen in media is the Fremen in Dune. They all get along despite having local quirks from their own immediate community on both southern and northern halves of Arrakis. But this then runs into trouble of being vulnerable to interplanetary invasion. Which then leads the requirement for a universe-wide cultural harmony to allow for a universal anarchism.

We don’t really have a choice since the alternative is planetary destruction.
You can hope to opt-out your society at best, but then the rewards for remaining societies to go full-bore capitalist are greater.
You can’t beat the system and the human race is doomed. Cephalopods are the future.
