But people arent like that. If anarchy, if I see it properly, was imposed, rival groups would rise up and oppress the weak. Now thats progress!

I have thought about that myself, and i figure that in an anarchist system, rivals could co-exist peacefully. That is, after all, the point of anarchism. I acually read an story about after the "the revolution", syndicalists and primitivsts war against each other. it's quite a sticking point, but i think it can be worked out.

Oh its not bad at all......except for the part about me (and everybody else for that matter) being forced to share their paychecks with anybody who can claim a "need."

Now don't get me wrong. I have no problem with helping the poor, sick, disabled or otherwise disadvantaged people of the world. As a Libertarian I believe its necessary for indivduals to help eachother and act as a community rather than just a bunch of selfish bastards, but I think this whole "mutual aid" thing should be completely voluntary.

Anarcho-capitalism has no such problem with violating people's property rights. In an anarcho-capitalist world individuals could do whatever they like as long as they don't initiate force or fraud against another individual. No government. No taxes. Everything is handled by individuals or groups of individuals who come together to solve community problems.

I fear a leftist anarchist world, because my business (if I owned one) and property would be "up for grabs" by anyone who wanted it. Without property rights society would crumble.

I think an anarchist society can work. An anarcho-capitalistic society that is. Everything would be voluntary. No government would exist to take your money and spend it how they choose. No government could throw you in prison for smoking pot.

And for those businesses that get out of hand, individuals can just stop buying their products and those few (maybe many) businesses would implode.

Yes, I think humans are generally good and if they aren't its all the more reason to fear humans who hold government positions.

If people were like that cali, communism would flourish but it doesnt.
