I do not exactly label myself an adherent of #anarchism, but I am intellectually curious: I would very much like to know if social harmony might not require Law.

That is what we are taught, as Americans raised and schooled and entertained with conventional American values: society is impossible without Law, without obedience.

I remember to this day having a liberal political science teacher in high school, a fellow I appreciated because he assigned an entertaining variety of texts (including a somewhat goofy 1970s environmentalist tract, Ernest Callenbach's Ecotopia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia) who told a story of an animatronic Abraham Lincoln at a Disney park, programmed to tell visitors to obey the law.

@mxchara Any other better way to have humans live together can't work because it requires a huge majority of people to engaged with it and most people are not willing to do that. That's why we end up with systems that are ruled by a minority who set the parameters within which we must all live.

@Rick_d_card
The question is whether this would also be true if people actually felt like them engaging with it actually made a difference rather than just bring grief of being ignored and disposed over and over (Politikverdrossenheit).

Naturally, I do not know the answer to this.

@curiousicae @mxchara Kind of a chicken and egg scenario; people don't get involved because they don't believe it will change things and things don't change because people don't get involved. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!
