# The problem with being an anarchist, I've realised,
is that the most brutal arseholes with the best access to hefty weaponry would end up on top, after a prolonged agony of starvation, misery and grief.

So we can't just withdraw, howevermuch loathing we feel.

It ain't easy.

# do you get a good dental plan?

# Oddly enough, yes.
I have free access to the same dental miracle-worker who caters for Tony Blair and Robbie Savage.

And I still get to throw Molotov Cocktails.

# you can still have police, welfare and general organisation in anarchy
there just aren't the individual points of accountability that form in a hierarchical system. but on the flip side- ever tried to get something done by consensus?

# Do the policemen ad lib it, and enforce laws they make up themselves?
You'd think they'd arrest each other a lot, for kidnapping people.
Alternatively they could just ask people nicely to stop doing things, in which case a policeman would be anybody who likes whinging.

# given how hard it is to get consensus on anything, very probably
i once met a guy who had done security at buddhafield. the job basically involves hugging miscreants until they repent

# That's a problem with being an anarchist surrounded by brutal arseholes.
It's alright if you're surrounded by kittens, anarchy works quite well then.

# Well yes. This is exactly it.
I tried to be an anarchist for a while, until I realised how unutterably ridiculous it is.

But I will own that it's a great way to shag hippy chicks.
