Sounds fantastic. Let's do it. Hmm.... I'm not sure whether I'm an
anarchist or not. On the one hand, having multiple defense
organizations and different court systems to choose from has its
advantages, but I have some doubts about how well an anarchy will
stand up against other countries and other governments. How well would
it prevent a dictator from assembling an army and trying to take over
your anarchy? How long could anarchy exist before some people
establish governments?
