Hello,

My brother and I had a fight about Zed being an anarchist (like Kropotkin, Bakunin, Proudhorn...).

I found no clue that he indeed is an anarchist. Nor in quotes, nor in the lore. Thats why I am looking forward for official statement or a very good explanation what he is (political-society-thinking).

If either one of you can tell me why he is an anarchist and provide useful information or a rioter could tell me if they inteded him to be an anarchist or not would be really helpful!

Else: What do you think about the lol world? Who are democrats? Who are not? What do you think where in lol is upmost freedom?

Thanks for helping :)

An anarchist is usually defined as a person who doesn't believe that any form of government is needed.

And while Zed disagrees with some ideals of the kinkou and likely with the current leadership of ionia,there isn't really anything that makes it look like he believes in anarchy.

No. He is, if anything, a hardline nationalist and federalist.

So far as the lore has shown us, Ionia has no government or ruling class. People respect the authority of the Kinkou order concerning matters of magic and the spirit world, but for the most part the humans and Vastaya live peaceful lives guided by their cultural philosophies. The reason Ionia is not a state of chaos is because everyone there is so invested in harmony and balance.

In this way, isn't Ionia already an anarchy? Well I just did a quick Wikipedia search on those names you mentioned (I hadn't heard of them before so I am by no means an expert), and their philosophies seem to match the way of life in Ionia as I understand it.

So Zed would be an anarchist I suppose, but saying that is meaningless because everyone else in Ionia is technically an anarchist already.

Can you actually link Zed's philosophy to those dudes? That would be genuinely interesting.
