Thread: Is anarchy a good idea? How could it work?

The reason Iraq 3.5 was so hellacious is because we had restraint still.

They could use nukes to wipe us out in a hurry, but then they wouldn't be able to settle here if they did. A poisoned water supply would catch on in a hurry, and there are lots of water supplies. An invading army would be able to take over this land if we didn't have a government, but they would have a Hell of a backlash to deal with.

If people think the attack was unjustified, they attack the attackers. The next thing you know, a war has started.
