But what I think they’re trying to describe is a dual-power relationship between the state and labor

They didn't mention labor, they are talking about power as in the power the government or a president has

But the promise of an immaculate statutory framework that denies any individual or coalition power is a false one.

I don't picture anarchism as a system where a statutory framework is put in place

Power is a consequence of social relationships and control of physical capital by individuals.

I don't like much this generalization, you are describing the power over control of physical capital, in our scenario the power is granted through law and established through police

There is no established structure that can prevent a cartel of insiders from seizing control of critical infrastructure.

Something we can be sure neither established or non-established structure can't change is the truth, nobody can change the fact that 1+1=2, they can only lie about it for some time

Civil Rights can only ever be aspirational in a world where a local monopoly on violence undoes in days what a community spent generations building.

It took humans millions or years to learn how to hold a stick, perhaps it just take more time and effort

You were never taught that corruption is bad? I was. I was also told not to lie, cheat, steal, harm others, etc.

I personally don't recall being taught about corruption specifically. I was teach about being a good boy in elementary school but after that i don't recall any class about how to be kind and good.

and yet people still use drugs.

People are taught that drugs are bad but not much is explained about the underlying problems that make people do drugs, such as trying to cope with high competitive standards since childhood.

How do you prevent people from promoting corruption and making role models of the corrupt?

We live in a corrupted society, i think the starting point would be to fix education (which is already "enforced") in such a way that it doesn't promote corruption of any sort

I don't know much about croatia but i'm sure mass media are rigged there just like in any other european country

Which country? was the referendum fair or rigged?

There's a precondition for a democracy to work which is a fair voting process, this includes free and non monopolized access to information. I don't think it's hard to write a constitution that is not fixed and that still grant essential rights to people.

You don't have to enforce it, you should not promote it and not making rolemodels out of corrupted people. Have you ever heard of kids being teach in school that corruption is bad? Me personally never

How do you build such a system though?

With a constitution that's can't be modified without a referendum

How do you construct a system which has the authority to prevent corrupt individuals from oppressing others, but doesn’t oppress people itself?

By fighting corruption instead of building a society on top of it

A call for human rights that can't be taken away by the first idiot is not anarchism, it's the most basic common sense and logic upon which a good society should be built.

I will never understand the hypocritical surveillance state apologism when it comes to China or Russia on this site.

People get brainwashed to conform, when they don't like a side they urge to pick another

Chinese government is not trying to oppress their citizens

yes they are

In this case we should indeed report on them because it is not much clear to the public what palantir does and they have ties and contracts with the government

"A surveillance state is needed to beat china who is evil because it's a surveillance state"

They won elections a year ago, the chance is indeed 50%
