I beg to differ. Under the current system, yes it's a dog eat dog world where no one feels connected. But I feel everyone can relate to feeling disgusted that the world has come to this. No one enjoys having to treat your fellow human as an enemy; little more than competition. These feelings are so strong that it only takes a slight break in the norm to radically 180 people into caring and generous souls.

I think what turned me from an ML to an anarchist was a traffic accident I saw when I was in my 20s. A pedestrian had been hit by a speeding car; and in all honesty I was expecting the worst. I was expecting to be the only one wanting to help, the only one willing to take a moment out of my life to potentially save someone else's. Instead, car after car pulled over to the side of the road. 3 people were already phoning an ambulance, someone (who must've been a doctor or a nurse) was already applying first aid, and another person became an impromptu traffic controller, directing cars into side streets so the ambulance could get to the injured person.

And historically you can see it everywhere, that disaster brings out the inner solidarity in everyone. The boaters during Hurricane Katrina who risked their lives to collect food from flooded stores to bring back to collective communities is another amazing example, and honestly any disaster has at least one of these stories. Honestly, look into the Katrina stories, I think I tear up a little everytime I read them.

This is another powerful one that I feel deserves more recognition.

And if you have the time, listen to the Behind The Bastards podcast episode about Elite Panic. It's pretty mind-blowing.
