RE: The Precarity of Anarchy: A Reason to Doubt
A lot of the older market anarchist thinkers don't spend much time describing in detail what their anarchist society would look like.

I don't know how much that is actually true. I mean, when I think of classical market-anarchism, I think of Josiah Warren, Gustave de Molinari, Benjamin Tucker, and Lysander Spooner, and all of them spent time addressing how to organize a stateless society and what such a society would look like.
It may sound strange but that is part of the point. No single person is smart enough to design a system that has no exploitable weak points. So we can think about what would happen, but we are most likely wrong. In order to understand how anarchism works out given modern day technologies we have to try it and see what innovations people find.
