Why would anyone want to be an Anarchist? What would be different in an anarchic society?
If you're dreaming about living as a highwayman and wasting your time with pillaging and raping, I got bad news for you: there'd still be the law and people who enforce it. NOTHING that's illegal now would be any more legal under anarchy.
If you choose anarcho-communism, the first thing to do is to kill and loot rich people. After that, in theory, you'd be so happy you wouldn't want to commit any crimes. However, in case you're not: you gonna get raped by the Invisible Dictatorship. Those are people who make sure everything works as intended by killing citizens whom they see as not anarchistic enough - without giving an official statement because they don't want to be the government of course.
And then there's anarcho-capitalism. Those who want laws would pay the others to obey them and pay a private police agency to enforce it. You'd walk into a police office and go "I want to sign up for the following laws: 1.Don't take heroin. 2.Drive on the right side of the road. 3.Don't rape kids." At some point the citizen would be so pissed of by free rides, they'd either go back and start paying taxes or do the same shit the anarcho-commies do.
Either way you haven't gained any more freedums BUT since there's no government you lost something EXTREMELY FUCKING IMPORTANT: your country couldn't participate in international politics.
Second, NO ONE WANTS INTERNATIONAL POLITICS. Anarchists don't want wars, "free trade" agreements, United Nations observers, peacekeepers or inspectors, or any other bullshit that limits their freedoms.

ISOLATING ONESELF SURE IS A SMART THING TO DO
Dumbass Anarchists.

Isolationism can only exist under a government. How's that you fucking retard? Couldn't figure that one out on your own?

Oh god, you're such a dumbass.
Since you like equasions I'll put it like this for you:
not participating in international politics = isolation
→ other countries are invited to fuck you over
So much for "l2Anarchism", you fucknig furfag. With so little political education your version of Anarchism only exists in the vacuum that you call head.

Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military policy and a political policy of economic nationalism (protectionism).
But, Palin is an anarchist. Just because she's McCain's VP pick, doesn't mean that went away.

I don't belong to any subculture or group yet I'm more unique than any of them.
I see so many ungrateful and ignorant people many belonging to the emo and scene subcultures talk about how "Anarchy is cool" when at the same time they're wearing mass-produced clothing imported from China, Pakistan, and Malaysia, cosmetics, hair coloring, jewelry, piercings, and of course they're using iPods with hundreds of iTunes, mobile cellular phones, and computers with Internet access which are all a result of global trade and the existence of governments. They wouldn't last a day in the wilderness with no access to running water or electricity.
As for the ones wearing Che Guevara T-shirts who talk about how "Communism is cool", none of them have ever held a shovel or done a day of manual labor in their lives. They don't know anything about the struggle of workers and peasants.

Thank you for sharing your pathinc life story with us. Would you kindly GTFO now?
The fucking retarded leftist teenage fashion phase some people go through makes me sick to my stomach. How so much retardation can be put in such a small thing (i.e. their brain) begers belief.

2, 6, 8, etc were me, fuck face, but 23 was someone else. You come into an anarchy thread with horrible arguments and offer nothing to support your position. Of course someone is going to tell you that you lost. You got fucking owned, now go cry somewhere else, faggot.
>>29
Government isn't responsible for anything of the things that you listed, dumbass. Government just gets in the way of these things. Government doesn't provide you with running water or electricity either. l2anarchy. None of you fucking govfags have any idea what you're talking about.

By the way, why did you bother to come back again? Spent the last night reading Wikipedia and now you feel like you're ready get your ass handed to you a second time, or what?

Maybe I had shit to do yesterday and didn't want to waste my time with someone that can't put together a logically consistent argument.

Well then, here's your chance to make up for your miserable performance last evening.

Actually, we left off with you requiring justification for your claim that anarchist communities are "isolated."

No, we already established that you fail at semantics.
What's left is you have to explain how your personal version of anarchism would be different for Bakunin's or Rothbard's in which your anarchist country had a seat in the UN and was able to negotiate treaties with its neighbors.

No, sorry. I'm guessing you can't justify your claim. Your point is defeated. In other words, YOU LOSE.

Hoho, and here he runs again!
You sure are luck that only like 3 people visit this board. Losing your face like that - your parents would probably disown you if they'd seen that.
