Can anyone give a coherent explanation as to why anarchy is apparently the solution to all the current systems?
I understand why anarchy might be attractive in that the individual is ultimately free of such thing as rule of law and therefore local as well as centralized government but there exists a major problem with anarchy: bandits. Bandits appear to be the downfall of anarchy in that they will fuck you in the ass until you get organized, delegate some duties to others in the organisation and form a... governing body of some kind with a branch that enforces good morals... and you see where the problem is.
And no, this thread is not an excuse to go on about why you think capitalism or socialism or communism has failed, I want to explore the possibility that there might actually be something I hadn't considered and anarchists aren't just in it because going smashy-smashy on private property is fun.
Anarchy in the practice is not a gobernment.
Is more like a tool. a tool of change.
And if anarchy seems to be the only solution. That means that we need a new gobernment stile. republics, kingdoms, states, dictators, empires, blablabla, etc... are all obsolete.
The world needs anarchy. ---> The world needs a new organization.
Anarchy and social networks will help a lot in the building of this new era.

So the klan decides to ride through anarchytown lynching dozens of black people. What do you do?

Well, I might shoot them but I realized that I have no bullets because bandits stole the harvest and I have nothing to trade with. And since there's no standardized currency backed by any authority and banks are so evil, I don't have any money to exchange goods and services with.
Well, the important thing is that we voted that we should really do something about the lynchers.

We would invite them over for patchouli and lentil stew and teach them the errors of their ways through the medium of interpretive dance.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Lenin did the same thing in 1917: everything about the current regime is evil and must be removed, and after you mindless idiots do that, we in the elite ruling class, who are the only ones qualified to rule, will take over and impose our vision of politics on you all. One thing about Americans: they don't give a rat's ass about anything outside their own neighborhood. If they did, they'd remember the lessons of the Soviet bloc and how every country rioted until they were free of socialism. Is there a lesson there? Oh yes....Obama's vision is the one that will work...I forgot.

We could put them on plantations and make them work for a living.

You either hire a sheriff or you pay protection to a gang of outlaws.
I don't like the evils of the world any more than you do, but anarchy is the intellectual equivalent of going "BAWWW WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE TAX WAAAAAHH BAAAWWW". You solve problems by accepting reality, not denying it.

We can reduce taxes a little by being looking at how our government works and trying to solve problems, trying to do away with it completely is just an absurd kierkegaardian leap of faith and will accomplish nothing. If you really care about these issues then you wouldn't entertain such nonsense.

imagine no rules man
Obviously the biggest problem are armed thugs taking who are far worse than the government.
Anarchists need to be more obvious what the solution to this is.
