Anarchy is the philosophical rejection of authority and power. The word literally means 'no power', which is complete baloney because there is always power, and there is always authority. Someone or something will always be dominant over someone, or over something else.
The true reason why anarchy cannot work is that anarchy does not exist.
Anarchy is just another word for reversion to "might makes right" at the individual level. That is, until the first groups form...
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame. I still see anarchy as an ideal, albeit an almost inconceivable one. In a world where everyone does the right thing, anarchy is possible (or even inevitable).
