Re: Politics: Debate

OH YOU ARE SO RADICAL!!*sarcasm*

You are actually a libertarian and should identify yourself as such. There are many out there like youself such as Congressman Ron Paul. He runs under the Republican banner or he wouldn't get taken seriously at all.

Anarchy, even limited anarchy sill implies some chaotic lawlessness. Anarchy itself is a transitional form of government because some "strong man" inevitably takes over and rules by force.

I will be completely honest in saying that I have no idea of anything in the politics world, but I would assume the US's is okay.

are you sure about that? need i remind you that at one point in time anarchy was a real form of government. Before Cesar was named Tyrant of the Roman Republic the form of government they used was Anarchy. Crimes were still punished although the crime rate was extremely high then add that to the fact that they were constantly at war it's understandable how people can believe that.

Re: Politics: Debate

I am positive. Even you stated about the high crime rate until the Caesars took over hence the strongman that brings "stability".

Re: Politics: Debate

There is no such thing as anarchy.
Even whenever there was supposedly no people around (the dinosaur ages) there was this thing called survival of the fittest. People always have rules that oppress them, even if they are the rules of nature. If I'm bigger than you, I'm going to take your stuff. Savvy?

LOL!!
I like how you deny the existence of Anarchy then define and give a perfect example of it " If I'm bigger than you, I'm going to take your stuff" LOL!!

Like I was saying, under those conditions someone always rises above the rest to provide security be it a great warrior or a sheriff whatever. Anarchy usually leads to Despotism because the person providing security ends up making the rules and gaining power above everyone else.

Any way you slice it, anarchy exists and it is transitional; end of story.

Re: Politics: Debate

What about in all those zombie movies? The people who are still alive join up and work things out and make a plan. That's a form of government because they are governing. :D Even though there are no laws, is this anarchy? I think not.

Re: Politics: Debate

In the Zombie example that you have given you are describing people temporarily banding together to oppose a common threat, such as with a type of militia, posse or even a lynch mob to cite extreme examples. It's hardly a government though it may be well organized, because once the threat is gone the group dissolves when people return to life as usual, whatever that may have been.

Right. If you look at my statement, I said, "if/when." Meaning that people may or may not disband.Thy could stay together.
