Anarchy... It's like being 18 forever!
What are you saying?

He's saying anarchists are immature (I suppose for not accepting pre-existing authority).

I see... I think.

jfruser - Tongue

Good ol' black block, there is a reason for what they are doing.

Any who..., I really like Gewehr98's Tacti-Kool picture. lol
I think what would make for a funny picture is the one of Michael Kalashnikov holding an AK and there are words under it that say something to the effect of Keep that crap off my gun. I have seen that picture somewhere, I think on ar15.com, but have been unable to find it so far.

New pictures that y'all love, Cheesy

A better version of the anarchy picture. When I was looking for a picture for the first one I was seeing if I could find one sort of like the Conservatism picture, a black bloc person in front of a black or red and black flag. But I couldn't find one and found the one I used. This one I think better represents anarchy, in that it isn't brought about by a single "hero", it is something brought about by the masses. Enjoy, Cheesy


Wasn't sure which one I liked more, so here are two different versions, Cheesy

This one is just a different take on the original anarchy picture.


And this one is in response to jfruser, Tongue


Thoughts? Criticisms?

I'm guessing the second and third posters are of a Native American encampment?  If they are examples of anarchy, I'll have some government please.  If you think they had it better, then you are naive. 

I prefer your pictures of wannabe revolutionaries in black.  Better that anarchism be represented for the adolescent daydream that it is.

American Indians had a tribal government.  They even had the first confederated government in North America.  (Iroquoian confederation). 

"The constituent tribes of the Iroquois confederation, the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca, constituted three tribal phratries, of which the Mohawk and Seneca formed the first, the Oneida and Cayuga the second, and the Onondaga the third; but in ceremonial and festal assemblies the last tribe affiliated with the Mohawk-Seneca phratry."

Source: http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tribes/history/indianconf.htm

The North American indians did not fare well against a better organized invading government.  I'll take my risks with a government... worts and all.

You beat me to it.  Where is the lack of Govt?  I don't see it. 

The idea that millions of people in city who depend on a system of trade and economics to live prosperously would be able to live that way without some sort of govt type organization is naive.  They don't seem to realize that if you tear down what exists, the historical odds are you won't like what replaces it at all.

The only fault that I can find with "anarchy" is that human nature abhors a vacuum.

If there were no government, within ten minutes a couple busybodies would get together to form one.  laugh

From what I understand, those anarchists who aren't merely looking for a good time throwing stones and acting rowdy believe that society can cooperate via voluntary contracts and "syndicates."  I was thinking about that today, and wondered if such anarcho-syndicalism wouldn't be like a million Home-Owner Associations dotting the landscape.  Ewww.

Show me a single historical example of a stable anarchy. Just one.

Actually, there are lots of examples of small groups of people cooperating relatively peacefully (Highland Clans for one - sure there was lots of fueding but nothing on the scale of WW1 or WW2).  Most people behave a certain way because of their culture/religion rather than from fear of govt.

The trouble comes when one group starts to want to run another one.
