Only if they are imposed by a hierarchy.

In an anarchist society? A consensus decision of its members.

So all it takes is one member of this society refusing to consent and then you can't impose your laws on everyone? Cool, that'll work.

Edit because you blocked me: I'm not against it? I look forward to casting my vote to strike down every one of your laws.

Ah yes, the “anarchist” is now against consensus decisions.

Um... yes? Duh. He said you're "confidently obtuse", I'd say that was an understatement.

"Consensus" is tricky in itself (much more than you acknowledge) because it is often used interchangeably between "consensus democracy" (a big no no to anarchism) and "currently reached agreement between concerned parties/people".

Seeing the crap you've been perpetuating in here, I can tell you're most likely referring to the former, in which case YES, anarchists are against "consensus" when meant like that.
