Anarchist theory almost exclusively talks about political motivated crime they propose will stop when the state and all it's structures are abolished.

Non-political crime they mostly only brush over and suggest the communities will handle it themselves.

So no, they don't have a concept of how people are supposed to protect themselve from crimes that aren't politically motivated.

That's because you can't over-generalize these things without gausing great injustice in the process.

The communities on a ground level know best how to handle crimes in the community. If you want laws encompassing everyone in every facet of life: go read a bible or something.

You are advocating for exactly that to happen. Many bible communities would rejoice in anarchy bevause then they can enforce all their fucked up rules again and kids who are born into these communities.... Well, tough luck I guess. Your community on the ground level decided it's okay to burn people as witches who have red hair.

Lol no. Absolutely not! Anarchists would be 100% against these kinds of structures, so they wouldn't be allowed to exist.

How would anarchists enforce that these communities "wouldn't be allowed to exist"? Seems a lot like power and authority to me.

You haven't actually read any anarchist theory, have you? This is a fucking joke.

No, it's actually one of the most problematic points in anarchist theory. How to handle people who are cruel or who do not respect social contracts. The fact that many anarchists want to abolish police but than want to build a structure similar to police or do not discuss the topic at all is showing they don't have a solution.

Stirner for example basically ignores the topic. Kropotkin only addresses crimes which have the state as basis (property and political crime).

Please share which Anarchist theoretist formulated a concrete plan on how to deal with non-political crime in practice.

Again, you haven't read any theory, have you? Have you really never heard of diffuse sanctions? Stop embarrassing yourself.
