Context: a broken step is someone or something within your community which only the locals know to avoid.

Suppose we have a confederation, and someone within the confederation is accused of being dangerous to others in some way. If we kick them out then what stops them from going somewhere else and repeating the pattern? Or coming back for revenge? Or, Stirner Forbid, they’re innocent? And even if they are dangerous, is that any reason to turn them away? We make considerations when it comes to wolves and cacti but draw the line at cousins? But they could hurt the community… you see my dilemma.

Edit: this is not a hypothetical, but I don’t want to get into details. We’re not going to beat anyone up because we can’t confirm anything actually happened.

    There have been various cases which eventually came to be well-known of people (all men iirc) were were exiled out of anarchist-type regional communities. Those people moved to a different town and started fresh, til they were eventually exiled again after causing a great deal of harm.

    Revenge I’ve never heard of at least to any effect. Maybe someone had a fantasy.

    Or, Stirner Forbid, they’re innocent?

    Stirner? what the actual shit is wrong with you. I’d write more about the question posed but with this additional context I can’t really know what you mean by “anarchist” but it could be any twisted up right libertarian shit. Impossible to properly respond with dearth of shared context. I suggest you do whatever feels good, what else even is there. I don’t even know how someone who invokes max sterner can complain about the actions of others. Probably he was just living his full self. Pairing this with the idea of “innocent” only serves to muddy things.

    Long story short, to full deal you need to properly understand the context + your limitations as individual and collective. If your collective is full of people who think max sterner is cool, then you should probably push for exile because nothing more sophisticated will be possible. And you’ll be lucky if you can even accomplish that. More likely the aggressor gets elected chair of the events committee.
