Dawkins goes on to ramble about god later but the first few paragraphs illustrate an important point.

It seems I am being told to ignore logic because it proves that sitting around dreaming about how perfect the world would be if everyone would just become perfect morally righteous anarchists anarchists is pointless. I'm tired of paying attention to anarchism, I have as of yet never found a practical explanation of how an anarchist society would work.

If anarchy is just a value and really you'd have some kind of democracy (doesn't matter if you call it a worker's council or a commune) then the democracy will be a state so it won't be anarchy, anarchy won't be the only value and anarchism is more or less irrelevant.

Anarchism requires that people cooperate for mutual gain entirely through autonomy which is expecting too much.


The only way to salvage anarchism is the former option, to take it as a value, specifically the nature of the state as a monopoly over force and accept that while it is ethical to choose the lesser of evils because a perfect anarchist utopia is not a possibility that we should not ignore the state's flaws and keep up pressure to root out corruption, then leave it at that.
