Ahem. Can someone seriously explain to me how ANARCHY works in the real
world ? Hmm ? I'm waiting ever so patiently and with bated breath. I know this could be in GD:Politics but, hey, I'm a damn redneck liberal rebel.

1. basically, you make your own law
so everyone leaves everyone else alone, because the repercussions of messing with someone are too high.

course, everytime it's ever been tried people bind themselves together into some form of society with rules and such.

If anarchy were a reality in this day and age, the BFEE would be in deep shit. We would have to restructure EVERYTHING from the ashes up.

5. It's a lot like "The Road Warrior"
Without the uplifting ending.

6. I dunno, but what has always troubled me about "anarchists"
is that they organize for protests. How exactly can you call yourself an anarchist if you all agreed in advance to go to a specific protest and carry out certain behaviors? For that matter how can anarchists ever work together? But they do.

a transition period steered by a cadre of decontrollers and facilitators.
