  • Well I think the real question is what are your ethics if you encounter another human being when you have retreated into the woods?

    Do you avoid them? If so that’s just being a political which is fine. Nothing wrong with a person living alone in the woods

    Do you try to dominate or exploit them? If so that is libertarianism.

    Do you work toward partnership and mutual aid? If so that’s anarchism.

    That’s on an individual level. If you scale it up we can find all sorts of tribalistic tendencies within these two models. Exploiting the out group and trying to partner with the in group. As our government likes to do with the global south and well, historically the West.

    And you can also extend this model into other species, like if you are peaceful person toward animals then maybe you see them as your friends or partners instead of as being that you can exploit. Or, like in our culture’s case, we apply that selectively to certain animals. We exploit some and partner with others .
