Saying anarchy will never be possible in the future is like saying that the human civilization made absolutely no progress in its entire history. And I know, from the chatbox discussions that most of you think humans have indeed made some progress.

Thus I'm raising my eyebrow on this one, cause I don't understand how a bunch of atheists (you) don't believe that "man" can attain a level when anarchism will be indeed possible. By saying so you're really denying Darwin's evolution theory. Now, I'll try to predict your thoughts and say that I'm not talking about the necessity for humanity to adopt anarchism in order to prove its superiority, its ability to evolve progressively, I'm saying that if the human has indeed made some progress and is capable to maintain the same tempo, then it's clear that it will be possible at some point in the future to implement and thus this theory is not impossible or impractical.

You can complain that what's the use of a theory if you can't implement it now, in the present. I'm going to say that not a single system is practical or possible if we judge it by its definition: that includes democracy, monarchy, communism, liberalism etc etc Nobody has succeeded to fully implement them.

But this is not important. What's important is humanity's willingness to tend toward this goal, trying to achieve it. It was always this way, "man" never accomplished a thing without trials and errors.

Enlightenment that leads to anarchy is the denial of Darwin's evolution theory. Socialism is the opposite of the survival of the fittest. Even though you predicted these thoughts, you don't need to call Darwin in just to show how much nature can change - that can do all the "mutations" that didn't survive because of the evolution.

How about we shut up and start talking about games instead of something we don't know squat about?

Why do you assume no one here knows about anarchy?


Also, is a well documented feature of the Civilization series

So why should I be willing to tend toward this goal? What can anarchy give me that I don't already have under my current governmental system? In fewer words, what's in it for me?

Whoah, I don't care about what you want and what it can give you. I just said that nothing comes without effort. If humanity will tend towards this goal, then surely it has a chance to attain it. I don't want to talk about anarchy's advantage, my own beliefs remain with me and yours with you. My opinion on this matter (this is the least I can say) is that trying to convince other people at our current leevel is useless.

This thread may be about Anarchy and anachronisms, but spare a thought for Anarchy's younger, slightly bossier and ever-so-slightly revolutionist brother: Communism.

May be an entirely different idea... But here in the propaganda dissemination bureau, so long as there are at least enough smashed Faberge eggs to make an omelette (fitting only for the porcelain platter, of course), any propaganda is good propagandhi.

Besides. Every website should have it's own Cold War: Counterpart - Against the Wall, IV:

Abandonia, under Communist regime

1) Socialism is not only a technical term, but also simply a state where people are social.
2) I referred to the way to anarchy, and socialism is in some theories at least a part of it.
3) The anarchy we talk about here is socialistic. (I would go as far as saying that that's the only anarchy since in a non-social anarchy there will always develop some form of authority.)

I shouldn't have written something anyway. I'm still not able to understand why we can't simply be nice to each other, instead of abstractly discussing it, what mostly leads to just more bad blood.
