But anarchists oppose authority. In an anarchist utopia, there is no authority. Here's an explanation of the distinctions anarchists make

You didn't answer my question, but the thing you linked me suggests you don't think industrialized civilization should exist?

I didn't answer, because the question didn't make any sense.

you don't think industrialized civilization should exist?

Another term that you're probably misunderstanding in bad faith.

I described a scenario where ordinarily we would use someone with a position of authority to deal with a problem. I asked you what the anarchist solution is.

All you've done is accuse me of bad faith and tell me I'm not using definitions correctly without telling me what the correct one would be in these contexts or telling me literally anything about anarchy. Oh and linked a paper where a person says they don't believe children should be required to go to school and that Industrial civilization is simply unfit to nurture human life and then told me I must be misunderstanding what is meant by "industrial civilization".

I am trying my best here, but you're not giving me much to work with.

I asked you what the anarchist solution is.

"The anarchist answer"™️ probably looks like a militia of delegates, woven into a process of restorative justice.

Tap for spoiler

And now you're probably gonna pull an Engels and claim that that's authority.

without telling me what the correct one would be in these contexts or telling me literally anything about anarchy.

That's not true. I shared an article explaining why your definition doesn't fit what we're talking about.

Oh and linked a paper

It's an essay.

where a person says they don't believe children should be required to go to school and that Industrial civilization is simply unfit to nurture human life

Called it!

School is an institution that was introduced to prepare the children of the proletariat to work in industry. That's why going to school is mandatory in (most) capitalist countries.

You better read up on what havoc industrialization reeked on family condition. The natural urge of children to play and learn being surpressed in order to prepare them for capitalistic exploitation and sort them into the financial caste they're supposed to be in is something you condone?
