Anarchy

Name: Anonymous 2011-10-15 14:46

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.

An armed group with a democratically elected leader sounds like the foundation of a democratic government whether thats what its intended to be or not.  Also, the militia/military would have to be full time and professional.  It has to be full-time because the group would have to have people on guard all the time and could not wait until already being attacked to get volunteers and elect a leader.  It has to be professional in order to survive in a world where another more aggressive group might form and use a professional force against it(I'm using the term "professional" to denote a full time force that dedicates its time to training to fight and fighting).
