Quoted:
99.8787% of Arfcom isn't bad-ass enough to live in an anarchy. I am included in that number. +1 here. We dont need anarchy, and we sure as shit dont need communism. People need to become more self reliant, accept personal responsibility and the .gov need to shrink considerably. |

Quoted:
I am in a sense, but I doubt any are fully. I do sometimes wish that it could return to the days of the strongest and smartest being the only ones living long enough to reproduce, but anarchy is usually quickly corrupted by the weak bandying together. So no different then government then? |

As someone who isn't the strongest physically, I don't see that as a bad thing. I carry a gun because of people who think "might makes right." |

It's not foolish to believe in institutionalized violence, theft, and coercion?  Quoted:
Quoted:
I don't think anyone is foolish enough to believe in 0 government. It's not foolish to believe in institutionalized violence, theft, and coercion? So you have zero government or that huh, no in between? |

Arguing with them can be like talking to an angry five year old. |

So no different then government then? That is the origin of government. As the strong pushed forward and succeeded, the weak banded together in cities. As the weak were forced to live in larger groups to survive they needed rules. Government is nothing more than the bloated enforcer of those rules. |

Quoted: I (and I assume most of ARFCOM), would love that too. It's far from anarchy though. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm a civil law/Constitutional law type. That's never going to happen let alone anarchy. I (and I assume most of ARFCOM), would love that too. It's far from anarchy though. |

Quoted:
I don't think anyone is foolish enough to believe in 0 government. I would be happy with a government that only did the minimal things like provide for defense, fund police, build roads and a few other necessary things. When it gets out of control is when tries to regulate everything in the world and then takes money from one person and gives it to another like in welfare, subsidizes and bailouts. |

The free market does all of those things more efficiently anyway. No need for a government to muck things up. |

Quoted:
Nope. Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Tolstoy was a christian anarchist. Quoted:
Quoted:
"Anarcho-Christian" I dont want any laws except these 10?  Nope. Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Tolstoy was a christian anarchist. Oddly enough, that passage in context shows that this was a terrible time in Israel's history, and it's not considered by the writer to have been the right state of affairs. Kind of an odd passage to use as your underpinning (not you OP, but whoever takes that passage and applies it there). |
