I think we should give anarchy a try.

@Hawaii_Jake Anarchist, sounds like Anti-Christ.

In my apartment I usually have anarchy.
That’s why I stay at home often.
I am king of my bedroom.

Almost a haiku. Completely accidental, and random.

Anarchy is the childish belief that absent any governing bodies, society would just automatically self-organise into harmony, when in reality what would happen is that after a period of absolute chaos, power hungry despots would form local fiefdoms, which would then inevitably go to war with each other as warlords, vying for control of more and more territory.
Those who crave power, will seek it, and will ultimately achieve it, because there are plenty enough peoply longing for authority figures and leaders.

@ragingloli Thanks. Fascinating answer. Please go on. I’m captivated. GA! Where How did you come up with the answer? Can you recommend a book?

@ragingloli That’s a pretty bad caricatured summary of anarchy.

Yeah @ragingloli writes as if the utopian notion of anarchy were an actual “childish belief”.

Also anarchy is not anarchism. ( Anarchism is a political theory that is skeptical of the justification of authority and power. )
