Okay, so you're talking about an antisocial group that is attempting to prefigure a society of domination within the existing anarchist society.

Well, assuming they've established themselves as a continuing threat, the short answer is: violence. We use defensive violence against their encroachment until their group crumbles, which shouldn't be hard since by definition most of their members are living a way worse life than they would without their oppressors, and they're surrounded by examples of people living free.

Hierarchies are fragile. Also, in order to exist, an anarchist society must already solve the problem of how to keep hierarchies from forming.

The voluntary prison idea is a way of dealing with individuals, not organised groups. That's an entirely different situation.

Ok, I'm only really having issue with the "which shouldn't be hard" part. What makes you think that violent response from an anarchist society would be more effective than the police/justice system in a modern state?

These groups exist today, and it turns out that making them crumble by arresting (or, in some countries, executing) their members is a significantly non-trivial task. That's when you have an organised force opposing them, which doesn't need to deal with internal disputes the way an anarchistic force would need to.

There are so many assumptions in what you said that I don't know where to start dealing with them. You've packed so many common misconceptions in such a short comment it's kind of overwhelming. Let me know if you want to hear what I have to say, it's a lot of work if you're just trying to tell me I'm wrong.

But just quickly:

It's well documented that decentralised autonomous cells are extremely effective. Special forces take a large portion of their tactics from guerilla fighters that operate the same way.

There are examples of decentralised societies today that are incredibly effective fighters. Rojava and the Zapatistas are two excellent examples, plus numerous small regions that have held off vastly superior state forces without centralised leadership. Community self defense is a powerful method that works even within overarching state oppression.

I'm not quite sure what assumptions you're talking about, but I do want to hear what you have to say.

What you're answering to is about opposing external hostile forces, that wasn't what I was talking about. I'm talking about internal criminal environments that are dispersed in the population and make a living off anything from fabricating documents or scamming people to trafficking or smuggling. Just like modern organised criminal environments, these are not groups you can "wage war" against.

My question is related to how these will be dealt with if not by involuntary imprisonment/re-education/some other involuntary and enforced way of preventing them from exploiting society?
