Hi,

Anarchism is a generic term describing various political philosophies and social movements that advocate the elimination of all forms of social hierarchy. In place of centralized political structures, private ownership of the means of production, and exploitative economic institutions such as rent and profit, these movements favor social relations based upon voluntary interaction and self-management, and aspire to a society characterised by autonomy and freedom. These philosophies use anarchy to mean a society based on voluntary interaction of free individuals, and the idea that communities and individuals have a say in decisions to the degree that they are affected by their outcomes.

"All animals are created equal . . .





BUT





. . . some animals are created more equal than others."

You've got a great political ideology -- for ants and bees. For intelligent beings, it is a passing phase from moros to sophos usually occurring shortly after puberty.

Anarchy? Sure. But remember that, "Anarchy only works as long as everybody follows the rules." There's always going to be someone who is (or thinks he is) smarter, faster, and other -ter's that aren't coming to mind, than the norm. And that person (let's call him the Wolf) sees the rest of society as his prey (let's not call them "The Sheep" -- that's been done and overdone). So for protection, the weak will find a Wolf to follow, and competing Wolves will fight, and ranks and tiers of Wolves will be generated, and lo-and-behold, the Anarchy will give way to Feudalism. For the rest of this story (so far -- we've not yet exhausted that road), find a good Western History book that covers the twelfth to twentieth centuries.

Oh, and by the by, the USA is not a democracy. Democracies only work for groups up to a few thousand. The USA is a republic, a much more sensible form of government.

You remind me of the Welsh and Scots separatists. A desire to return to a perfect time that only existed in romantic imagination. Your opinion is your opinion, but it would hold more weight with me (and many others, I'd guess) if it were based on facts from this universe, this era, and this species.
