Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default Anarchy is impossible!

I know there are other topics on anarchy posers and the like, but I've come to the conclusion that anarchy is impossible.

Think about it...since the beginning of human civilization, people have ALWAYS needed a ruling body...I say needed because there has never been a group of people with no ruler/s.

Post your opinions on the matter.

Aarchy is imposible when a society is ruled by its instincs.

As a more inteligent and socialy aware society develops, people will start to see things slightly differently.

Anyone seen a beautiful mind? Captalism works when everman goes after whats best for himself. A truly perfect society would be when everone does what is best for himself and society.

Then and only then, anarchy could and would work.

Anarchy is a goal to strive towards. Something which will only be achived when we reach a near perfect social moral code. We are far from it, but this dosnt mean we should hold it as an ideal.

Oh christ, not again.

Can we stop discussing why anarchy will and will not work, and just admit it fucking SHOULD NOT? I dunno about you, but Im kinda fond of looking my woman in the eye and knowing she will eat this winter.

BLAH

four letters work under this subject line...there are dozens of topics restating this, and having good arguments in them

anarchy has evoloved into a state of mind, and more frequently, a misguided label for (often teen) rebellion. I carved an A into my hand because I have that mindset.

I am my own
