It shouldn't surprise me that you only think things are unacceptable once there are riots and social unrest, but if we continue as we are that is an inevitability anyway, so it would be wise to change the system before we get to that point.
The reality of politics in the West is that people generally don't really have the time to read about it, or perhaps they just find it boring, beyond what they read in the mainstream media. I would be confident that the average person in the street wouldn't know what social anarchism is, let alone have an opinion on it. This is all fine, the world would be a boring place if everyone was a politician, however this is also why there is not more widespread activism.
I appreciate you have only just learned what social anarchism is yourself, by browsing the front page of wikipedia - but notice the distinction between "private" and "personal" property. A home would be considered personal property, so typically social anarchists would not expect ones home to become property of the public.
I was rather hoping you were going to provide me with a poll about a broken system -you intimated that there were lots, but when it comes to nitty gritty, you tend to ignore such inconvenient questions. I won't dignify the nonsense of your first para with a response to it. In fact, I did know what social anarchism is - I read about this a year ago, after a garden project wall here locally was grafitted by some prat advocating this! I included this for the reader's benefit, and also to give context to the points that I made. Yes, I did see that distinction and pondered this myself. Private property is what you own, and personal property is surely that -personal. Would you ever see a sign saying" Personal Property" in front of someone's house? Even if this remains unclear, if it is private, it is not for the state to collectivise. I notice that you do not reply to the idiocy of social equality, as we have agreed that this is ludicrous, given human nature.
