    Which societies active today are considered examples of anarchism? As far as I’m aware there was only one in post-aasad Syria and they got decimated by other regional factions.

      Anarchism poses the ultimate threat to the ruling class, and so they are obviously incentivized to destroy it. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying!

      The Zapatistas are a modern anarchist society existing today, but you are right that many historical examples such as the Spanish Commune have been ruthlessly repressed, by fascists and communists alike.
