I guess similarly, how do you actually deal with the "Individual people are not actually naturally equal in their capacities", problem?

Are these even questions that people who are Anarchists care about, or what?

I'm genuinely not trying to start a "thing" here, these are just questions that I feel like I've honestly just never got substantive answers on regarding Left-Anarchist political philosophy.

    Anarchists recognise differences in knowledge, skills, capabilities, etc

    They recognize them, but what do they do about them? How do they seek to systematically limit the negative impacts of having lower-than-average social, or cognitive abilities, for example; especially without a formal State to redistribute resources & prescribe/enforce rights?

      a society built on anarchist principles is not free from rules, systems, organisation, etc .

      i assume you are an ML, your final destination is the same as us anarchists, so maybe you already have answers to these questions.

      i think this series of brief videos by noncompete can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEl5RIMp7M&list=PLCcemL_x8RtdtFuib1Wl6VwyuYOEDb5Wv

      You know as well as I do that this is not a problem with dependent people existing, but a problem with capitalism (or more generally, any stratified money-based economic model).

      A large fraction of the population is willing to assist those who are incapable of looking after themselves, and always has been. The difficulty is when they can't afford to do it. And that's pretty easily solved by expropriation.
