Does every person not wish for the betterment of their lives and that of their community? When people’s needs are universally met, for what purpose would someone act out of greed or malice? And why do you suppose that a robust and flexible societal structure couldn’t handle such hypothetical bad actors appropriately? The practice of anarchic principles isnt some fictive utopia, but a process by which people (actual, real, living people right now) actively work to improve the lives of those around them.
