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

Yes, his scenario was poor, I admit, but his question remains valid.

I would like to know more about anarchism. Maybe I sounded ignorant by humoring hopes for a future utopia. Maybe that sounds like innocent babbles from the perspective of well-read anarchists. But, I have a genuine hope that I could gain some type of enlightenment on the subject from this thread.

(And hopefully, this thread won't turn into a suggestion against anarchy.)

Thanks, although I think my scenario provides an ideal ground for discussing what would and would not happen without a government/state. I didn't create this thread just for me. I figured that there would be people who want to understand anarchy better and would read the thread. Original Poster and Descensus both claim that they are anarchists, but I have never been able to get them to explain the detailed mechanics of their ideas of anarchy. They get pissed off at me on a personal level for trying to understand their ideas (not just about anarchy), and they don't explain them, even for the other people reading the threads. It makes it look like they have doubts and lack answers.

Original Poster says he is an anarcho-socialist, and Descensus says he is an anarcho-capitalist. They could be discussing a lot with each other and giving perspectives to everybody reading the thread. However, I am their only topic, and that is typical.

This thread is not supposed to be about me or primarily for me. It is supposed to be about anarchy and for people who want to learn about it.
