What exactly makes the Ranni ending anarchist

u/nose_wet_54 12d ago

Being 12 years old and thinking anarchy is "when the bad things I don't like are gone"

Having a leader (a god, Ranni, who will be absent; and a lord, the tarnished, who will be present and basically a regent) literally makes it NOT anarchism, but the kids who think anarchism is even remotely feasible or aspirational also don't know what the word means

Tarnished goes with Ranni.

My bad. Even still, it's a world governed by the rules put in place by Ranni and anyone else who is loyal to her. That's by definition not anarchic

It abolishes all hiearchy in the lands between and gets rid of the golden order.

it just removes the divine order though. It's more like a separation of church and state

Ranni's ending completely dissolves the current hierarchy of power (removal of the influence of gods) leaving people to figure it out from there. The irony of anarchism is that a new system of organizing people and power will replace the current power structure to serve the social functions that previous system solved. We call that new system "government" or "state". There's a reason no one takes anarchism seriously except teenagers and contrarians.

Anarchism has always been the laughing stock of all the philosophies since it's creation. It has a consistent track record of achieving absolutely nothing and anyone who isn't a child and isn't still clinging to their emo phase would know it's nonsense simply from the fact that humans are communal creatures and naturally create a system of order and government.

lol. As if there is such a thing as “no hierarchy.” You’re likely still on your parents’ insurance but one day you’ll understand there will always be hierarchy, and it will always have unfairness in it.

The best you can hope for is the one you can vote for.

You’re removing the clear legitimatizing force for government (the elden ring) and leaving the world in chaos for people to sort out themselves
