Anarchism

[Unitaristic Regions]

Just like capitalism has worked well where communism hasn't?

That's economy that's different. If we implement communism the worlds won't turn into some lawless mad maxx shithole.

And it would if we implement anarchy? People need to drop the idea that anarchy implies a lack of organisation and contract.

[Arkolon]

A society that functions governed, or administered, from a decentralised authority that is not a technical state is anarchy. Hierarchy is natural, we should all accept that. Where there is some sort of pure equality without any hierarchy or governing body, well, that's a dream.

Not a dream, a nightmare!

Why would it be a nightmare?

Anarchism could work if everyone wasn't an inherent asshole.

StatistFallacies/FreedomRequiresAngels

Here's a good idea. Flesh out your argument.

Well law has worked successfully for thousands of years where as anarchy hasn't.

States have existed for 0.2% of humanity's existence.

[Ucropi]

Yeah, where would we get that idea.

You came on with the definition of chaos=anarchy, while the definition of anarchy=ideology is very different.

Anarchism is a label used by movements and ideologies which generally have in common the rejection of authority which does not regularly justify itself.

Anarchism is "The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished."

and here's the Free Dictionary:

an•ar•chy (ˈæn ər ki)

n.
1. a state of society without government or law.
2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control.
3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.
4. confusion; chaos; disorder.

Note that 1. is ambiguous, since law refers back to government Definition 3. therefore, is different than 1. Also, note that 3. says, explicitly, organised society. Plus, anarchists like something called "pluralistic law".

[Jumalariik]

I personally am an anarchist, but I don't have one particular branch that I subscribe to.
Why?
-My anarchist views are influenced by my Christian ones in a great way, making me close to Christian anarchism.
-My communist economic views point me to Anarcho-communism.
-My nationalist/anti-imperialist views set me apart from most other anarchists.
I guess I would be a Muntzerist

Do people think that nationalism can blend into anarchism without being national anarchism?

I know I shouldn't trollname, but you're raising doubts now in my opinion.

Wow I'm a troll for proving anarchy doesn't work?^{[citation needed]}

Anarchy has never been tried?
Anarchy is chaos?
But we're all going to DIIEEEE?
Anarchy is utopian?

Come on, Ucropi. You haven't proved anything. You walked in here, insulted everyone, pretended that a Google search can replace academic study, and now you're upset because we think you're just trying to piss us off.

I personally am an anarchist, but I don't have one particular branch that I subscribe to.
Why?
-My anarchist views are influenced by my Christian ones in a great way, making me close to Christian anarchism.
-My communist economic views point me to Anarcho-communism.
-My nationalist/anti-imperialist views set me apart from most other anarchists.

If Anarchy worked we would be using it now. It doesn't, we don't.

Anarchy worked for 99.8% of humanity's history. Your argument is also pretty invalid, because it assumes that the political elite always wants what's best for the whole society and that bureaucrats never ever make mistakes.

Sure, before the rise of industrialism, property, and pretty much all of civilization.

"For 99.8 percent of human history people lived exclusively in autonomous bands and villages. At the beginning of the Paleolithic [i.e. the stone age], the number of these autonomous political units must have been small, but by 1000 BC it had increased to some 600,000. Then supra-village aggregation began in earnest, and in barely three millennia the autonomous political units of the world dropped from 600,000 to 157." (Carneiro, Robert L. (1978).
