Let's talk about anarchy

So... go for it.
And I'm not talking about hoodlums who stir up shit at otherwise peaceful demonstrations. I'm talking about real anarchy: where people are in charge of themselves and their actions/choices. (as we all are anyway, whether we recognize it or not)
Are you an anarchist? Why, or why not?

I think it is possible but not directly. I believe the problem lies within the people themselves. Most people have never even imagined what it would be like if they took control of their own lives.

I think the anarchy might prevail someday not because of the actions of the anarchist, but because of the downfall of neoliberalism. I believe the series of crises has done more to promote anarchy than anarchists could ever imagine to achieve.

I live in Greece and we have a long history of anarchist struggles. I am really surprised to see old people turn to anarchy as a means to dissaprove of the corrupt political system. I have heard really extreme views from sweet old granies who had their pentions cut in order to pay for the massive public debt.

Therefore my conclusion is that an anarchistic society - although hard to imagine - is possible because of the failure of capitalism to provide stability. I see it more as a need than a choice.

I'm sure I sound like an idiot to many Americans, but that's only because the US is the only country in the world that has had continuous growth for such a long time. Still, those Americans that had their houses and property taken away for debts, those who were fired and those living under bridges might find my words somewhat different than those who have managed to maintain their standards of life.

In my opinion capitalism creates an imbalance that will bring it's downfall sooner or later. The rich get richer (and less in number), while the poor get even poorer(and rise in number). This imbalance is bound to make the world tip over at some point with terrible consequences. Anarchy is too far ahead for today's world. Still, the experience of today's anarchists might be really valuable in the future and in the absence of capitalism.

PS. May I return the question? Do you guys believe that capitalism and the globalized neoliberalism can provide a peacefull environment for the world to enjoy and prosper in the long run?
