now, in terms of government, yes, i know, we obviously aren't anarchist.

but in terms of physical ability.. aren't we?

anarchy is basically complete freedom, lack of rule, individuality. but.. technically everyone's able to do whatever they want!! everyone can live completely for themselves. so though on the surface society is, whatever it appears to be. .. but beneth the surface lies an individually centred power that few are aware of.

SODOWHATYOUWANTEVERONE! IIIIIIIT'SANARCHY!!

every sopciety has a bit of order to stem chaos. the best of societies have a nice mix of order and freedom. without order you could not go to the store and buy much, the road ways would have no rules, no police to give incentive not to kill people by driving.

but that's not what i'm saying. i'm not talking on a societal level. as a world of individuals, we are capable of doing absolutely anything. doesn't this therefore constitute a worldwide anarchy?

no, everyone can't do what they want. we have rules and laws to keep people in bounds. where i live racism is a problem, and the law stops violence from happening, while society trys to heal the wounds.

again you're not understanding. i'm not using the phrase is able to, i'm using the word can. the fact is taht you can do anything. laws and surface order don't prevent people from doing whatever they want.

actually what you are directly speaking of is a close relative to anarchism called objectivism.

its actually ayn rands' philosophy, where a person is self-sufficient and self-policing.

to say objectivism is just a sugar coated anarchy, but it sparks less of the blindly ignorant statements, such as:

Quote:
anarchy is dumb, it will never work, people will kill each other because there is no law, there will be no peace, there...


but yes, anarchy is a good emotional/spiritual base.

it sort of brings fourth an absolute power to onesself. .. funny because if everyone realized this power, it would definitely affect the world very substantially.. probably for the better.

the ego has been recognized by several individuals throughout history, but those people were mostly fascist and their self indulged power got to their head.

then there is the polar opposite with choses the collective and self-sacrifice, they call it a noble cause, but rarely ever is the person fulfilled through sacrifice.

If you're interested in knowing what anarchy actually is, I suggest you read this and this.

Well, I'm a communist anarchist (actually more along the lines of democratic progressive socialist/liberal), so I chose "agree". We all have the "no chains at all" feeling inside of us. However, for the greater good, we refrain from doing some things, not only to protect others but to protect ourselves.

Despite the ignorant critics, I believe anarchy will one day be the accepted form of government. Then again, I follow the Marxist (I think) chart, where we start out at anarchy and end at anarchy.

This whole topic seems pointless. First, anarchy is a governmental/societal structure (or lack of one). Second, I cannot do anything I want. I'm a male, I can't give birth. I can't lift 500 pounds over my head. I can't, as much as I'd like to, give everyone on earth even one meal or one drink of water.

Personal empowerment is fine but a little realism doesn't hurt either.

No, because capability is not the same as being free to do something.

no, everyone can't do what they want. we have rules and laws to keep people in bounds. where i live racism is a problem, and the law stops violence from happening, while society trys to heal the wounds.

Some form of chaos will always exist within a society. Under the right circumstances chaos will be created. But as for the governmental form it is not societally possible. But i just dont see why people even would want it, but thats just me I guess.

This topic is absoloutely ridiculous. You CAN kill as many people as you want to- until you get caught and punished.
You CAN beat the s**t out of someone with a bat.
Actually NOT being able to do something seems impossible

Not unless a free spirit can break the chains of physical realities, no.
