It's really best not to prejudge all anarchists based off a few. This is an old and respectable theory. There have been many anarchist movements throughout history, and just because right now serious anarchists are hard to find doesn't mean that they're all dead. Well, like I said, I can only base it on what I see before me. And what I see before me are a group of people who say they believe something without truely understanding it and only to look cool. Perhaps there are some real Anarchists out there - those who really do understand the concept of Anarchy and could actually make good points as to why it's a good idea. But, I've never met them. Though hopefully, someday I will. And I still think it's wrong to call Anarchists "losers". I may not agree with their points, but that doesn't mean I think any less of them. |

Okay I take back the calling Anarchists losers thing but I still don't agree with anything they say or do, even 'REAL' Anarchists. |

Communism is over-rated :/ Its fundamental principles have huge flaws in. We are not born equal - we are born inequal. Someone always has to be in power, and so be "above" someone else. Most people want better and better things in their life, never fully content with the norm. Out of curiosity, are familiar with the work of Friedrich Nietzsche? He wrote something called 'Der Wille zur Macht' (No, not the Xenosaga game) or 'The Will to Power'. He believed that living things had a need to dominate others. |

Regardless of how some people feel about governments... the fact of the matter is, people in general need to know that there is a power looming over them, that will punish them, if they fail to uphold the laws of the land. Otherwise, there will be no civilization. There will just be chaos.
