The ultimate anarchist dream is a world that effectively functions as a single organism, since it will, if we continue down the path of exploitation of everything that can be exploited for profit, ultimately collapse. An organism at war with itself is doomed.

The liberals want to continue down the path of destruction. They believe that what they call "The Free Market" is the best option for humanity (or that nothing else is possible, because it, according to them, is human nature to abuse the environment and all beings that live in it if it results in profit).

The liberals also accept private property as a universal truth. Everyone should be able to own institutions and tools that enable them to gather more profit, by exploiting the workforce of those less fortunate than he who privatized the property. Anarchists aren't left-wing, or at least not what most people think of when they think left-wing. They don't believe in private property - the means of production should be owned by the community, and the same goes for the resources that our earth offers us. The fact that somebody can own these resources, make it theirs, so that nobody else can benefit from them, is absolutely sick and is the cause of the insane wealth inequality we see today, as well as large-scale wars, hunger and poverty.

The matter of fact is, there's plenty for everyone on this earth. We have the power to create abundancy, to make sure that everyone is well-fed and safe from threats that they can do nothing about, such as killer drones bombing their country every other night, while the countries that sent out the killer drones is refusing their immigration.

The cherry on top is, liberals never have a way to argue against anarchism. They simply refuse to see the truth it holds, ignoring it completely and often resorting to the propaganda of the state that's been sitting with them all their lives, that tells them anarchism is terror, chaos, barbaric slaughter where only the strong and those recruited into gangs survive. It's not, and it never will be.

If you consider yourself a liberal, it's high time that you reconsider your opinions and values. Think about your beloved private property, capital and currency and free market again, truly think. Try to look at it from a human perspective, and not according to your liberal rulebook or what your ideology tells you. Anarchism is not an ideology, but an idea, and it is fundamentally different from everything you've ever known (mostly because it doesn't have a centralized author; it's nothing but an idea that lies in everyones nature, an idea of a life without hierarchy), and this is exactly what makes it so difficult to figure out for many coming from liberalism (resulting in the ignorant behavior i talked about earlier).

Good luck on your journey, i really hope for you that you'll be able to see the world, society and yourself in a different light, put aside your condemning ideas of what anarchism and human nature is, and create some original thoughts. Something that rings true with you, not because you read somewhere that it's the best solution, but because you feel that it's the right thing.
