you have to have moderators though

Anarchist group with moderators, great paradox you got there.

Governments are full of hacks, they steal our money and call it a tax, I wonder if this country is worth a coin, called land of the free, yet I cant smoke a joint! lol Long Live Liberty!!

quite well until Franco got help from Germany.

how did spain work?

Nice saying. I say "no".

Why must authority bring retribution? If we do not fear retribution from, for example, the Police then we will still have to fear retribution from those we have wronged.

While i agree the current system we have does not work, i simply cant understand how someone could think anarchism on a global scale would not be absolute chaos. As much as the powers that be would like us to believe, we are not all the same. Remove any fear of authority, we remove the fear of retribution and those who are not interested in the well being of the collective will take full advantage.

I'm open minded to this though and i will admit to knowing little about this topic so please feel free to debate this with me

please show some awareness of this exploitation....

thankyou.

Thing is guys (this is owain baker by the way) its not so much an argument or debate, we know we're right, so arguing is just a plea for correction. Anarchism has worked, and is working, AND WILL WORK!

to Arser - yeah thats exactly what happened, warlords didnt take over tribes in ancient tribes.
Some people tried to stop warlordism with democracy and communism and everything inbetween, but it failed and warlordism is still the system for most countries today, exept warlords are called CEOs. There was one system called anarchy which has worked in the past even when the country supposedly 'fell' into it, they have still improved. Why is there debate against it, all those who desire power can attempt to gather followers, although most will realise the truth about anarchy.

wtf has someone done to the background?
We did'nt have an anarchist debate about this?

"people can be organized by themselves, the people know whats best for the people!"

Umm, they did, thats how we got governments in the first place...

We Are Anarchia

A Virtual nation on Bebo

We are a Marxist agent-state composed of Real Historical Individuals

Believing not in the arbitrary annexion of the Earth into "nations", we refute those same motives which compel any holy of holies within the Virtual

We especially stand against those static concepts imposed over-against the freedom of the Real Historical Individual

We reject the petrification of power into formations like the judiciary, the church, the police, and all legislature enacting statutory law over-against the Freedom of the Real Individual


Property is theft

Stelios -'it's yet to be exercised in the modern world'
Chiapas
Anarchist Catolonia
Somalia (which has improved from when it was a dictatorship)
Even the co-op is actually a co-op - which is how all businesses would be operated in an anarchist society.

Oh and to Dan, anarchism can and has worked, don't speak in a matter you are clearly not educated on. Oh and for the fire and water thing, it's simple, freeze a big block of the water, and make an excellent ice sculpture which looks like a flame.

And Theo, why wouldn't we set up a website? I guess you haven't heard of Subcommandante Marcos?

The Commentary, a place for political debate and thought in a light hearted manner.

Nobody is in a position to say whether or not anarchism would "work" - which is obviously not a concern for human beings, since what we have at present certainly does not "work" anyway. Why is nobody in a position to pass such judgement? Because it's yet to be exercised in the modern world.

Anarchism is not some highly-construed system; it's basis is in core human principles, systems and nature.

Nothin is impossible mo chairde everyting is possible if 1 is committed nd determined to his/her's ideals
