Anarchy won't work for many reasons (at least not full blown anarchy). For starters, currency is non existent, meaning people won't work for other people, just individuals. This may not be a bad thing, but I'd say about 90 percent of the worlds population (at least more urban countries) would die off very soon due to starvation. Also, people would be killing everyone, as there's nothing negative about not doing it. You wouldn't want to have anything as people would just steal it. Like I said, this would happen for full blown Anarchism, not that market what ever... although, I don't think that would work either (assuming killing isn't punished in that system), as if you owned companies, the one that could kill the other quickest would win. However, if you can't kill without consequence, then I don't really consider it Anarchy. I don't mind private business though.
Personally, I have no idea why people are for anarchy. It would just lead to a lot of dieing... I guess if your slightly to moderately twisted in the head then you would be all for it.
Oh, and poor people would probably need to adapt less than those with more things, as there would be less of EVERYTHING. No one would work, so there would be no food. Homeless people would probably survive the longest in cities, as they're used to not having much food.
Yeah, I can't see this working out well...
By the way, let's not get communism mixed up with Mao-communism. They're very different. Regular communism is actually not a bad idea, but there's so much that wouldn't work with it that it will never happen (currency is needed for people to work at all). At least, I can't see it happening. I don't know everything about true communism, so my opinion isn't really valid here.

They're the same thing. In communism, if executed properly, the government becomes unnecessary and quickly fades, leading to anarcho-communism.stefanbertramlee said:
Anarchism will work for about a day before one very large group join together, get their hands on some guns and force the world into a giant oppressive Dictatorship. It just doesnt work. theres always someone who wants all thepower. And theres normally quite a lot of them to start with anyway.
Anarchism would just give everyone in the world a level field and those people could take there chance to strike.
Then again, looking at my name you can tell theres only one way i thnk the human race can go.
So im very biased.

So you say just let the starving children in Africa suffer and die? Look them in the eyes as they from an easily curable disease? Just don't care?george144 said:
As I recall, the original form of anarchism did not advocate permanent anarchy, but merely claimed that the governments of the world were so corrupt and entrenched that the only way to fix them would be to destroy all of them and hope something better would arise from the ashes. While there is a small chance that would work, more likely something even worse would result. The modern interpretation of anarchism would never work, though.
How exactly does that relate to Anarchism? But no I'm afraid I can't change anything in Africa and I can't help those people so I'm not going to delude myself that I can change it just to make myself feel like a better person.Akai Shizuku said:
No, you can change something. Everybody can. One person might not be able to do much (unless they're rich, but rich people are almost always fat lazy and off their rocker), but if we band together, we can do a lot. There's power in numbers.george144 said:
Anarchism actually working? I doubt that about as much as I doubt that the 3DO will make a comeback.
Not to troll, but honestly, anarchism, for the most part, just seems like some stupid idea started by some rebellious teens that have issues with authority and don't like to talk about politics, and is supported by people who want to sound cool.
Really, humanity has spent its whole existence creating order with government, and now somebody is going to say the answer to a utopia is to throw it all out the window, with the precious balance relying on people to be civil and good-hearted? Sorry, but that won't happen. Not when religions and cultures clash and create oppositions. Not when half the population of earth is a greedy son-of-a-*****. Put a bunch of people in a room with no rules and crazy things WILL happen.
And all these ways that people say anarchy could work? Guess what. They just made up a rule or system for order. Which makes it not an anarchy.
