Humans were never meant to be “Everyman for himself”. Utter chaotic anarchy is unlikely because we are still social pack-animals who rely on groups for survival.

Heh, I wish. The way citizens are being treated in America today, there is virtually no way to overthrow our government. We technically have the “right” to overthrow our government, but the militarization of the police, the Patriot Act, and the “free speech zones” make it impossible now.

I like my free speech. Democracy for the win.

I like being able to say Bush is a dumbass and have nothing but applause.

Sadly Canada lacks free speech. My mom was slaughtered for speaking out against farmers.

Anarchism does not necessarily equal manic chaos where people run around on killing sprees. The majority of humans can and will judge between right and wrong and are capable and willing to enforce justice and protect themselves and each other if need be.

Though I support Anarchy, I don’t believe it’s the only way. I actually agree with a lot of what that guy’s videos Gplex posted.


thats a horrible idea. Eventualy somones going to see a opprotunity to gain power by offering people “security” or extort people and they will gain power and more people would start up eventualy making a sorta government but a more violent and thugish type.

Plus I don’t think anyone living in america in there right mind would want to overthrow the US government when it treats them so well.

They would have security... Anarchy does not equal lawlessness, and I’m not just talking about social laws, there could be official laws, referendums and all that sort of stuff, it’s just that we’re not handing over all our power to a small, powerful, privelaged minority. It belongs to everyone. And I’m talking about power, NOT wealth or property such as in Communism, where less than 2% of the population has total control over the rest and a doctor gets paid the same wages as a janitor.

No, you blithering idiot. You don’t need a master controller to have security, if every good citizen got together and co-operated to look out for another it would be secure as a police force, perhaps even more so, because the majority of citizens are good and the number of good citizens usually outnumbers the number of police in government based societies. They’d be less likely to be corrupt enforcers also, because if one person was out of place the huge numbers of the others would make it far less likely for him to be able to get away with being corrupt. That’s all anarchy is, co-operation instead of submission.

Now I’m not sure which form of government I actually like but I want to hear what you think.


Democrazy leads you to anarchy
Oligarchy leads to aristocrahy
Monarchy leads you to Tyranny
