Got something that works better?

Anarchy is fascinating. I put it to you that it will never exist in a true form. The Hobbesian "War of all against all" is a fallacy, as men will do what they've always done and contract with one another to provide mutual protection, make fair trades etc.

The attraction of anarchy as an idea is that it imagines you can destroy the current political system and reset all the presumptions about rights, property and status to 0.

I don't like the idea of living without the rule of law. Not one bit! But the law will always be there: in the mind of man. We know instinctively what the law is...

Superior type - GODS LAW. We are all created equal. No one has the right to tell me what to do.

Inferior type - MANS LAW, A.K.A. CONTRACT LAW. You scratch my back.

I think to become free it'd be easier to get there from a state of anarchy. Once you've subjugated yourself to the mighty it's very difficult to assert your rights again.

Am I right?
