Those were some good points and like I said I know that it could never ever work. And those are the reasons we dont have vigilantism today. Because it doesn't work unless your BatmanTheNarrator said:-snip-

I've read that Hobbes. I don't like it but I agree. "Nasty Brutish And Short" etc. However, your definition of Anarchy is still wrong. Anarchy is not "just rebelling for the sake of rebelling." As I said, go back over the thread and you'll find better definitions. I'm afraid "those people" describing Anarchy aren't wrong, even if Anarchy can't and won't work any more.mechanixis said:And read over some Thomas Hobbes and you'll find why they're all wrong. At the end of the day, in an anarchist society, the strong have nothing to lose from preying on the weak. Morality is something that comes with civilization and the social contract.Jamous said:No. No it is not.

Which is why they typically grow out of it as soon as their hormones start settling down.
Oh, of course I don't literally mean it's rebelling for the sake of rebelling. No one deliberately thinks that they are going to rebel simply to rebel; they always believe it's in pursuit of some kind of truth. But Anarchy is an idea that only a young, impulsive, and independence-hungry mind could find in any way viable or preferable to any other form of government; it's based on a lot of assumptions about human nature that don't hold up to any serious scrutiny.Jamous said:I've read that Hobbes.

Completely irrelevant. It's like Communism, you can say how great it is in a eprfect society, but guess what? We ain't perfect, so it ain't gonna work.Megacherv said:That is what happened, but not necesserily what was meant to happen.ToxinArrow said:It's not confusing it for something else if that's what actually happens :/Megacherv said:Again, that's not the definition of anarchy. It's meant to be a political ideology, not slaughtering people for being different. It's like how people confuse communism with tyrany and gemocide.ToxinArrow said:You want anarchy? Go to Africa, where your wife gets gang-raped while they hack your head off and conscript your children, because your grandmother's tribe has a different name.
Anarchy is a horrible joke that teenagers cling to because "the man like, puts them down, and stuff."

Yes, but still, that doesn't not make it the main idea.ToxinArrow said:Completely irrelevant. It's like Communism, you can say how great it is in a eprfect society, but guess what?

But that's what it is when applied in real life. It doesn't matter what the idea is when it turns entire populations into corpses.Megacherv said:Yes, but still, that doesn't not make it the main idea.ToxinArrow said:Completely irrelevant.

And it's not ENTIRE populations, the people who abuse the trust of the others to get their way (the reason why anarchy fucks up) still live.
