Reply to comment by jeffroddit in Anarchism at the End of the World: A defence of the instinct that won’t go away by Sventipluk
Brutal inter-species dominance hierarchies pervade the natural world. E.g., the food chain. And brutal intra-species competition for resources and mates determines who eats, and who fucks.
The fact that I happen to be a human at the top of the food chain just makes me an exception that proves the rule. I dominate most of the rest of the natural world.
But even I don't dominate all of it. Bacteria are constantly attempting to dominate me and my fellow humans. And sometimes they win.
The author said that an anarchism without domination is natural. It is not.

I can see over a dozen animal species and hundreds of non-animal species at this very second. Guess how much brutality I see?
But by all means, keep anthropomorphizing nature and pretending you are better than people who do it slightly differently than you do.
