    an·ar·chy noun 1. a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority or other controlling systems. 2. the organization of society on the basis of voluntary cooperation, without political institutions or hierarchical government; anarchism.

    Want to enlighten me? Because based on the raw definition, what I said is consistent. But please do explain to me how anarchy is supposed to work for 350 million people

      That second definition is really weird. An organization on the basis of voluntary cooperation is a government.

      Really this just highlights the absurdity of anarchy. It’s more of a libertarian myth than anything else.

        Dictatorships are a form of government that isn’t based on voluntary cooperation. In fact almost no government has 100% support of it’s citizens. That’s why we have things like the police and military. You’ve just shown you don’t see any of the threats or violence involved in state craft, or are pretending not to.

        What kind of libertarian are you talking about specifically? The word has become very muddied and represents very different groups and ideologies.
