In a society with equally distributed power of violence you wouldn't have laws, but mere loose agreements. It is the monopoly on violence that gives one the authority to impose laws.
given the way real world "monopolies" on violence work, i would contend that true law has never existed
What do you mean by "true law"?
mostly this is a joke about the phrase "true communism has never been tried": "true law", a state that fully enforces and abides by the law, has never been tried
Laws which are used to oppress the poor, and not the colonists extracting wealth from other nations.
Your statist propaganda machine worked so well, that you have people confusing anti oppression tools with oppression tools. Hurrah for European Neoliberalism, Hurrah!
What? Laws are whatever those in power make them. Oppressive vs anti-oppressive is a matter of perspective. Oppressive is what oppresses my side, anti-oppressive is what oppresses the opposing side.
Sure, any society will eventually degrade into the owning class squeezing the working class dry, and society as a whole has short memory leading to cycles of bloody oppression and bloody revolution.
How are bolt cutters oppression?
Okay you lost me. I have no idea what you're talking about.
You're dialecting me about oppression. I’m Q.E.D. how bolt cutters can be used to dialect oppression.
Your last sentence seems to be a fascist quote of some sort, because Anarchists reject the notion of “society” and murder.
God fucking damn dude, I'm generally on your side, but you're just one of the short-sighted morons playing right into the fash's hands giving this stuff a bad name. Just shut up, mate.
