Anarchy is very cool, until someone has the wrong opinion.

      That doesn’t actually answer the question. You make some very good points about the futility of our current mode of criminal punishment. I very much agree. But you offer no solutions that would require anarchy or benefit from it.

      A centralized institution to implement all the changes that you mentioned is absolutely something a government would be more capable of.

        Start building what works now, where you are.

        Every reform you like started as people organizing. The second the state touches it, it turns care into control. Prisons, cops, “rehab”, all began as community ideas. Now they’re cages.

        Anarchy isn’t “no system.” It’s systems we control. Local, adaptable, replaceable. The state just standardizes failure.

          And what I’m saying is “local” systems will lead to “local” pedophile cults. Which absolutely has happened in America already, and which I think any society should have a mechanism to stop.
