Context
The world experiences catastrophes and problems all the time. In 1939, World War 2 took place. September 11, 2001, America suffered major casualties from a terrorist attack. Currently, there’s a worldwide protest about human rights and racial and gender equality. People point their frustrations at the government because the government is the highest form of power in the land.
The Argument
The world is already in anarchy. Civilians hate how their government is functioning. Therefore, they express their thoughts on social media. Economies are unfair; therefore, people complain to the government. There are protests in all areas of the world.
There aren’t any true higher authorities. Just because there are presidents, governors, kings, and queens, they are aware of other countries around them. The world is increasingly becoming one giant society. Soon kings and presidents won’t matter anymore. All that really matters is the people of the countries.
The world isn’t as isolated as it used to be, and people are growing tired of their unfair government systems. Some don’t even know how their governments work because they’re so disconnected from. Although no one’s setting fire to buildings or hacking secret files, it doesn’t mean the world isn’t in anarchy. Anarchy is subtle.
Counter arguments
Anarchy is a bit more complicated than protesting a government. Anarchy includes a communal mentality as well as believing that government is unnecessary. The communal mentality means that everyone would give up their property and share it amongst each other equally.[1] Only a few countries in the world do this. That proves that not all the world is in anarchy.
Anarchy also has no hierarchy. The whole point of an anarchist community is for everyone to be equal. But that doesn’t exist in the world because there are still government powers. Even the Rojava community, a current anarchist community, has a government system, making them not a true anarchist community.
The world is not in anarchy. Governments are still in place and capitalism exists. If there was an idea for the world to be in total anarchy, people would have to give up a lot of comforts. Worldwide anarchy will not be happening anytime soon.
