also the dude who is all pro anarchism has no clue how the world works......he is probably 15 years old and still lives with mommy.....if you want no government move to the third world and enjoy all the bullshit that comes with having no government......if our govt failed you would just be takin orders from the next guy who takes charge.

Umm I'm 21 and living in my own apartment, if you must know. Also, the Third World has some of the most oppressive governments on earth, you know. You obviously have no clue what anarchy even means if you think the Third World is a picture of what a society without rulers looks like.

which 3rd world country doesnt have a government

ok, I got ya I think. Bascially what you're saying is take us back to the villiage style environment with town hall, just exit the religion. It seems as far as I can tell that generally the local gov't is run from the local church or temple. Just like the romans, myans, muslims, etc...
I'm down with this idea to an extent. I would much rather meet with everyone in my area and take a local vote than let someone in DC decide for me. The only downer to this is every little issue would have to be debated with the whole community, but I'm sure there's a way around that. It's been my understanding until now that pure anarchy just meant go hog wild. No resrictions. Maybe this view of thinking about it should be called something else to keep from getting people confused such as myself.

One more question (I think). How would an anarchist community handle meeting new culture and groups? Would there be an elected rep to speak for all, or would everyone just sit in on the 1st meeting. Don't know why I thought of that, but I did.

You shouldn't feel the need to defend or explain your beliefs to
such people that make ignorant statements and degrade you as
the person you made this reply for. Just let them be bitter and
ill mannered and move on to someone that is willing to debate
in a reasonable and intelligent way. People that do not know
what anarchy truly is are going to have preconceptions and
believe what they have herd about it thru media and other
mind numbing mediums.
