As a kind of moral North on my moral compass I also rely on anarchism. But there is a huge difference between knowing where the North pole is at all times, and actually living on the North pole.
Everyone who puts faith in technology has lost the struggle for freedom. What freedom inside convention is about is a new and better way to relate to other humans. The tech isn't going to help us with that. If anything it will alienate us even more, and turn everything we do into an analyzable data stream. There will not be people anymore, just meat-based data streams. And data streams are something computers can control.
Not me. I would first want to know what kind of entities they are. The label "private" isn't at all enough to govern my preference.
That's just delusion.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Without the technology to make it a reality anarchism is a fantasy.
