You don't have a bad point, but there's no way humans could live peacefully with one another in society without law.
i was totally agreeing with you untill anarchy came up. we just need genuinely good people to be pulling the strings in governments(like thats ever gonna happen). whos to blame for the cockroaches who are in power now? we are(in most cases). although anarchy was probably a good idea at one point in time for humans, its definatly not a good one anymore.Quote:

It's because we're smarter than a squirrel with a brain the size of a peanut.

well if we are animals, then why do we have so many laws, i mean, ive never seen a squirle smokin a joint, and he a 5-o squirle come up and say"your busted" and put the squirle in the back of the squirle 5-o car.
Zephyrinne is right, I was going to mention this but she beat me to it. Even ants and bees have a fairly defined "social structure". Humans are more advanced so we naturally have a more advanced social structure.Quote:

think about it: why do people steal others' belongings? because those belongings cost money that the stealers don't have. if everyone got only what they needed there would be no need to steal. almost all of this "human nature" concept is manipulating others for personal gain, and personal gain is what capitalism is all about...
BUT another thing to consider is that in an anarchist and equal society, there would be a complete lack of motivation. people don't want to do something if it does not better themselves, and we could not move forward in any sort of technology or invention or service or anything like that because there would be no point in doing anything if there is no reward. unfortunately this is just how most people think.
basically what i'm saying is that you're right on paper, but anarchy or communism just does not work in real life. it's too late for something so radical in a frighteningly conservative world.
