[QUOTE="RushKing"] Anarchism is not utopian ask any anthropologist, in fact we were arguably anarchist for the majority of our history on this planet. If we value our lives, we would try to prevent nuclear disaster with or without a state.

Most people would argue that we're far better off today than we were for the majority of our history. Anarchy wherein people are fair and justice prevails is indeed a Utopian fantasy. The anarchy which existed through much of human history was not one of "peace, love, and equality", lol. Nomadic peoples were very peaceful and egalitarian. Technology came from science, not capitalism. How far do you suggest we regress as a society? The earliest paleolithic societies of Homo erectus were probably only able to avoid conflict because population density was absurdly small, and they naturally avoided rival populaces, settling in different regions, eventually giving way to the states for which you have so much disdain. In the later Paleolithic era, however, populations were more plentiful, and there is evidence of a shift toward organized warfare as evidenced as early as 15,000 years ago. Unless you have some grand scheme of wiping out 90% of the human race, it is impossible to peacefully live within some idealistic anarchist existence.
[QUOTE="Treflis"]That's far from anarchy, in anarchy everybody would be free to do whatever they wanted and in that case why would anyone do any hard work such as keep power plants running or provide any sort of service to help anyone but themselves except a few people? Why would anyone want that kind of life? There's also not a single people throughout history that has followed a anarcistic way, there's always someone who's appointed a leader if people band together and thus there is a "government". Anarchy is simply a fantasy that would completely and utterly fail if tried out.RushKing
