Kolektiva is an anti-colonial anarchist collective that offers federated social media to anarchist collectives and individuals in the fediverse. For the social movements and liberation!
In mid-May 2023, the home of one of Kolektiva.social's admins was raided, and all their electronics were seized by the FBI. The raid was part of an investigation into a local protest. Kolektiva was neither a subject nor target of this investigation. Today, that admin was charged in relation to their alleged participation in this protest.
Unfortunately, at the time of the raid, our admin was troubleshooting an issue and working with a backup copy of the Kolektiva.social database. This backup, dated from the first week of May 2023, was in an unencrypted state when the raid occurred and it was seized, along with everything else.
The database is the heart of a Mastodon server. A database copy such as the one seized may include any of the following user data, in this case up to date as of early May 2023:
- User account information like the e-mail address associated with your account, your followers and follows, etc.
- All your posts: public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct ("DMs").
- Possibly IP addresses associated with your account - IP addresses on Kolektiva.social are logged for 3 days and then deleted, so IP addresses from any logins in the 3 days prior to the database backup date would be included.
- A hashed ("encrypted") version of your password.

Technically, he's right. "Anarchy" refers to a state of Statelessness (no State has a monopoly on the 'legitimate' use of force over some specified area). For example, in International Relations they'll say that the world is in a state of anarchy (because there's no one world government with that special monopoly on 'legitimate' violence).
Other than the global scale, there are some examples like Scandinavia which had a network of political factions that controlled that region.
The problem with anarcho-socialists is that they prescribe a set of rules ( socialism) but over some area, but not everyone agrees with that system, so the next step for the commies is to simply impose their de facto State on others. "Anarchy" never holds up for them because they don't like to recognize the private property rights of others.

Threat and capacity of violence helps. That and private courts, private security, and basic social norms about keeping your hands to yourself. Maritime law has a long tradition of operating by private courts. It was also one of the beginnings of insurance and international financial transactions, all working at the detriment of kingdoms and other crappy governments.
You're kind of begging the question since States don't automatically enforce private property rights. Today, they regularly infringe upon private property rights by taxing around half of your income or outright taking all of it, as shittier States tend to behave (and against others during times of war).
Anarchy and the Law is a fun collection of real world examples about this.

No, I'm a spontaneous order enthusiast who dabbled 'too heavily' in Public Choice. Arguably, about 20% of a liberal democracy's government budget is necessary. The rest is due to self-centered and/or uninformed politicians, bureaucrats, and especially voters.
People really underestimate markets and voluntary aid, while overestimating the efficacy of government spending and its intentions.

Some kind of military and subsidies for roads and other actual public goods that markets or voluntary donations cannot sufficiently supply (the current supporters of government involvement generally have yet to prove that standard). Regulation to some degree. Blah blah blah.
Basically, people will jostle for power, so a state having a monopoly on 'legitimate' violence seems necessary. Government should simply tax or subsidize the 'bad' and 'good' things, in order to minimize its direct involvement like with convoluted regulations that number millions of pages.

War obviously. Pointless question anyways, there’s no such thing as a stateless society in reality. Everything anarkiddies point to IRL is just a de-facto state that is renamed to sound stateless.
