It seems like anarchism is the trendy replacement for capitalism these days. It fits better with the Western ideal of individualism. And I get it, it would be great if we could all just do whatever we want and not have anyone tell us what to do, but it's not practical. Like government is gonna be around for the foreseeable future and insisting on anarchism kinda prevents working on a better government

'All do whatever and no one tell us what to do,' there is a lot more to anarchism than that though. You can work on a better government currently while still striving for the ultimate removal of the state.

yeah, I know there is more to it, but doesn't it still ultimately boil down to that? even if "we" is small communities rather than individuals
