Since foraging grasslands chimps began to transition into social beings, the aggression and dominance of the ego has curtailed efforts to build a balanced society. There have been utopian exceptions, but overall, the rich get richer.
ya man. big yikes my guy. lets put this in perspective....Spain 1936-1939. The Communist's and the Fascist's were at war, but not an ordinary war, you see they feared the anarchist's so much that they stoppped fighting eachother, and crushed the anarchist's. When that was done, they went back to fighting eachother. Im not sure what that means, but I vcan tell ya the good ole boys still put up a good fight, against two enemies. The fruit was picked, the children were reared, and there were lots of @ soldiers going to the front. They were not compelled to go, they just did. Unlike those two other regimes. Funny how that goes, all of a sudden authority didnt mean much and yet everyone was fed and had a great standard of living with plenty of free time to spare. hmmmmm

Anarchy is the dumbest idea for how a people should be governed. With no central Govt, who stops an invading army from taking your sh!t? Who makes it illegal to kill you for your belongings? Who appoints the organization that would chase down and bring to justice the people who just took your things? Who regulates large corporations from just dumping glowing sludge into the waterways? Why would those powerful companies even listen to a bunch of anarchists?
The military is a good example of why anarchy wouldn't work in that people on their own f'n program would cause an unsurmountable problem with logistics, readiness, and deployment of assets. Everyone has to be on the same path for the same goal for a government to be effective.

Cool story,
So the two sides feared a bunch of selfish dirt bags who wanted to end all government and just govern themselves? I doubt it, where's the proof either side said they feared a bunch of whiny anarchists? So, you make my point that anarchists are useless when an actual army is on the field. They cant govern anything larger than a sex cult without force.

i dont think you understand. ive been in a room full af @'s. Nothing sucks the air out of the room faster than saying F@G, eating meat, not pulling your weight, or any number ofwrongthink. Full of Aholes. But our assjoles show themselves, then the room tells them they are. You don't last long with pure, public srutiny. Thats a tough room.
come on....that story
now about that army. imagine a group of men trying to kill your nazis and communist's so that neither should win if it means they both win. Didnt they? Then call it democracy. Then go try and pull that # in that room.
if only we knew
