    What would make the world less futile if anarchy was the prevailing 'system'.

    I think the problem is that under anarchy, the powerful and well armed will always dominate.
    In fact, what we have now isn't very far from anarchy IMO. a small 'elite' who hold most of the wealth and control means of superior violence run the world, mainly for their own perceived advantage.

    Seems like with anarchy comes a lot of violence. Are you really ready to fight for your life?

    i disagree. sure there will be initial violence, but not like the blood running in the streets like the lemmings want you to believe.
    i imagine it'll be like releasing all the animals in the zoo all at once; initially everyone will be very confused, maybe fight a bit, but eventually everyone will find their niche, their corner, and settle.

    Anarchy doesnt exist. If everyone agrees to abide to anarchy, then it is no longer anarchy.

    Its a very paradoxical concept.

    What's so hard to comprehend about chaos? Do you know how many people there are nowadays? Do you really expect them to live all peacefully if the current system with all it's laws would be abandoned?

    But imagine if we couldn't trust the food we ate in restaurants. We could get around it by demanding the waitress to pass instructions to the cook on what we exactly want for the meal.

    Than we the whole of society could reintroduce a more religious form for Responsibility. Money by itself has no intrinsic value. Yes?

    We can't separate value from evaluation and evaluation is a relative abstraction. The intrinsic values in any particular substance are absorption reflection and polarity. The monetary system is based on relative interest. Fortunes then are elusive.

    We maintain however an abiding interest that is most frequently undetermined, we have not because we ask not. We want something but we don't know what it is. No meal anyone has ever ordered has ended their hunger albeit feeding the body for a time.

    The human analogue for absorption reflection and polarity are attraction repulsion and intent. The mind is the throttle of polarity and in pressing the pedal we find where our own value lies. The intrinsic exchange rate is the measure you give is the measure you receive pressed down and overflowing we give thew world all the value it has for us.

    Some people will find other peoples niches and take them.

    Other people will put together so many niches that they become little states.

    Then the wars start.

    Happy new year btw.

    Obviously, you have a very slanted concept of anarchism.

    Anarchism....It's a poison term, like atheism. So demonized and misinterpreted, every one seems to have a different definition.

    Punk rock and skinheads co-opting the term certainly didn't help.

    My generation were programmed to see images of a guy throwing a firebomb when they hear the word anarchy. Burn baby burn!

    And when some people hear the word Atheist they are programmed to conjer images like this...
