my question to other anarchists is, when we establish the widescale commune (be it based upon cities, counties, state or nation) how do we avoid mob rule and provide protection for the minority? it's simple to say that in an anarchist state that people would be taught that noone's needs are unimportant and not to place your own need in front of anothers. but even if this weren't a utopian pipe dream (albeit a necessary one) there will be the time before the generation who grew up in freedom. so what kinds of functions could we put in place to protect the few?
