    Well, that’s the whole point of anarchism, really… dismantling the power structures that is enabling all the exploitation in the first place.

      But when police is abolished what is stopping a person or a group from simply taking whatever they like from others? Or force them to do whatever for them? Exploitation doesn’t just happen between corporations and “the people”.

        When was the last time you saw police stopping the rich from stealing everything that isn’t nailed down?

          If there were no laws and no police someone like Elon Musk could (and perhaps) would just bulldozer down whatever buildings are in his way when he wanted to build his production there.

          Without laws and police I certainly wouldn’t be safe on the street or even in my own home.

            Do you really think the police would stop a billionaire from doing whatever they felt like? Really?

            I guess you don’t know why they invented police in the first place?

              Why do you think billionaires aren’t currently just doing whatever they like? Or are you really think they are already doing that? Quite naive.
