The people who generally want to destroy a system and rebuild anew are usually clueless or have an ulterior motive.
It's worth noting that "destroy and rebuild anew" is a point of contention among anarchists. Some of us favor a revolutionary approach, but some (myself included) favor an "evolutionary" approach instead. Same end goal, just achieved through steady incremental change, rather than a big upheaval.
In practice though, success likely wouldn't fall cleanly into either category. There'd be incremental change punctuated by occasional (smaller) upheavals. But I guess all social change happens like that, really.
The difference is than in an ideal anarchist polity, the minority can secede, even down to the individual. "Majority rule" only happens to the extent that the minority doesn't find secession to be a worthwhile option. Whereas under democracy, the land and resources of the minority, and even the people themselves are considered to rightfully belong to the state. Any serious attempt at secession is met with violence.
Actually-existing "anarchistic" societies may not completely live up to this ideal, but it is what we strive for. Anarchists consider freedom of association and freedom of disassociation to be paramount.

It looks like you've only posted it to @MagHub, which is relatively small. There's other places to post new communities, @newcommunities being the largest one.
Your posts are actually going through, even though it may look like they're not. I can see 4 of them so far.
Updated, thank you. :)
Sure thing. I was a bit miffed to be mistaken for an "altcoin proponent", but I get it. 😅
For anyone missing the pun, in Japanese "tenki" means "weather", and another name for a numpad keyboard is "tenkey".
Well, it's not infinite. The individual can't be divided, by definition. But also I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that more land would be required? It doesn't mean no more high-density housing. You just shouldn't be forced into an undesirable political association with your neighbors, beyond the practical minimum coordination involved in living in the same building.
