Anarchism is not feasible on a large scale, most places in the world will tend towards hierarchy. There are certain necessary conditions for Anarchism to be sustainable long-term, such as the Zomia region in SE Asia due to geography. That’s assuming these tribes are non-hierarchical, I haven’t looked that far into it.
stateless societies like “Zomia” have successfully repelled states using location, specific production methods, and cultural resistance to states.
C’est quoi cette niaiserie? The exception does not make the rule. If you can’t accept human tendency to form hierarchies, it leads to fatal errors if attempting to create an egalitarian society. Can the majority of people live in isolated, mountainous regions living under pre-agrarian civilization conditions? No. It’s only possible small-scale under specific conditions, and even that region is slowly transforming into hierarchical structures on the fringes because of cultural transmission with the outside world.
Zomia is the biggest remaining area of earth whose inhabitants have not been completely absorbed by nation-states, although that time is coming to an end.
This feels like circular logic. There’s an innate tendency that humans can’t possibly avoid because stateless society is impossible on a large scale, and communism is impossible because of humanities fundamental need for hierarchies.

So it’s working, because of that area’s natural resistance to outside influence. Sounds like our experiment is going to be very enlightening
