if you take time to look up the defention you will so how good it is and how it can help this country. It's not all about chaoes.
shareYes it is a good thing. But in the show these guys were so obsessed with 'leadership' that makes them a total opposite of anarchist ideals.
shareMerriam Webster Definition: "Anarchy - a situation of confusion and wild behavior in which the people in a country, group, organization, etc., are not controlled by rules or laws"
How is anarchy a good situation for the country? Without government and laws you end up with a society ruled by warlords who take power by force, and everyone else just spends all their time trying to survive. Those arent the elements of a productive society.
you need to do research before you make comments
shareWhat definition of anarchy are you going by? Your whole thread is super vague. If you want to make points about why anarchy is good, why dont you list them instead of expecting people to mind read what you are thinking.
shareThanks for posting specifics. That said though, I don't agree with this article.
5.) It Would Create Compassionate, Humble, but Courageous Leadership
“When individuals try to balance self-interest with a consideration of the bigger picture, they discover, as Socrates did, that deep self-interest actually includes concern for the good of the whole.”
Anarchism isn't one singular philosophy. There is a lot of ideas and movements which even contradict each other -- from revolutionary radicals to grassroots movements. But the main principle is to reject the need for leadership and authority.

I've been involved in several anarchist community projects, and yes, on a smaller scale a lot of things are possible. It is what it is -- free grouping individuals, co-operation, collective responsibility, mutual respect, and there is no need for any sort of formal leader.
As for 'quality of life' better than a caveman's, just look at American elections. Is that clownshow the leadership and authority that the modern society needs? Really?
yes Julia, plus look at the canidates and there plans for this country it horryfing, but as long as everything goes to plan nobody panics.
shareWhat is an anarchist community project? Resodding the local soccer field? Picking up trash down by the lake?

Ignorance is strength.
shareI looked at your "definitions" at that link, and they are a collection of bogus BS crack pipe dreams.
There's a 100% effective acid test for every political principle or theory: has it EVER been implemented properly (at the scale you suggest, meaning at a national level)?
If the answer is no, then such principle is simply non viable, plain and simple.
Every socialist/communist theorist (whom couldn't applaud the U.S.S.R., China and other communist states enough until their destruction became too embarrassing and indefensible) when confronted with the reality of these communist states have always fell back on the "well those were not 'true' communist societies or states" mantra.
The obvious follow-up question is, has there EVER been such a society (not a hippy commune, but an actual country) in history?
The answer is NO.
Otherwise, if you accept such apology for communism, then you must also accept the same from neo nazis whom fault Hitler for "perverting" national socialism with his racism and hunger for power (which is absolute 100% BS).
Which proves that Marxism and other commi variants simply cannot deliver their promises of rainbows and unicorns to the masses no matter how it is packaged or presented.
And I include there modern conservatism (the kind that cannot fail but only be failed).
Unless you can point to a successful implementation of anarchist society/country, you cannot advocate for its implementation and at the same time excuse its failed results in Somalia like societies (now THAT is anarchy) as "improper implementation".
Nobody ever had a chance to do it on a national level. And please dont bring communism into this -- that is a sick cult, total control and enslavement.
shareBoth are political philosophies at their cores.
So I think it's perfectly within bounds to bring up for an example of such political movements/philosophies/theories that when actually implemented it delivers anything but what was supposed to.
The animal kingdom is a perfectly clear anarchist system: everyone self governs and group up voluntarily.
Anarchism isn't a singular philosophy -- there are very many ideas which often contradict each other.
