Don't think about it like faith in fellow humans, think about it like everyone realizing we're all capable of being dicks so we need to keep each other in line. Otherwise you could have one person in charge who is just the worst.

@clooo Well it's not about people just realizing things it's about organizing and building capacity in small ways that can grow.
I'm less about changing the world than I am about changing my workplace or town - small things I can affect. Otherwise it's too big and awful to think about. I can apply anarchist principles in how I live my life and I think that makes me happier and gives me goals. And importantly - they do work. But because it's such a different way of thinking thre's a lot of effort to get there.
You don't have to agree though, my wife is super left but not really an anarchist for the same reasons as you.
