  • Right. This idea is impossible, since the groups would not be able to be isolated from eachother to the point of not having any commonality, while also sharing infrastructure and resources.

    The teenagers would have parents. The sculptors need to eat, and would have relationships with producers and toolmakers and the rest of the town as a whole.

    Human experiences aren’t atomic, and can’t really be separated into a neat tableaux like the one you are positing.




  • I think this sort of question comes from a capitalist, scarcity sort of mindset, even while he’s asking about anarchism.

    In that system, it’s advantageous and encouraged to be selfish. There are a bunch of reasons for this, having wealth allows zero relationship transactions, theft or charity from you potentially deprive you of your means to live etc.

    The opposite is encouraged in systems with less or no ownership or hierarchy, as power is derived from participation and cooperation. Respect is going to get you what you want.
