And then someone else starts controlling society from the top down, or does human nature just disappear overnight?

Top down control only works if the public agrees to subordinate, and go along with whatever is being "ordered".

Anarchism is a process of intellectual self-growth within a society.

No one rules your life, and you shouldn't seek to rule over the lives of others.

you shouldn't seek to rule over the lives of others.

But what if someone does anyway. I mean it's inevitable. How do you protect yourselves from the people who are trying to control everyone

what if someone does anyway.

Anarchism is a process of societal growth. When a population becomes increasingly independent and refuses to be governed.

Rulers cease to rule is no one takes their orders.

How do you protect yourselves from the people who are trying to control everyone

It's not possible to control everyone; without their consent to behave according to the demands of a few.

That's the point.

Start living as if you are already free.

It's a step that is along similar likes lines of the public's general understanding of "civil disobedience".

Okay so let's say you're in a group fighting for anarchy, and together all of you, overcoming adversaries, win. There is no more government. How would you treat the people who fought under the opposite side? Would they get the same treatment as the people who fought for what you believed in?
How would you sway them to believe the same things that you believe without making your OG group appear as the new upper class? How would you help these people without making them feel like they were part of the "group of people," or "class," that needed help? And How would you keep your own group from feeling as though they were the ones in the position of helping those beneath them?

Basically, step one. How do you stop classes from forming?
