Anarchy

1A: ‘Who is going to implement the system of no systems?’ The only way an anarchist society could be implemented is by the people deciding they want it to be implemented. At the very least the vast majority of the population would have to want an anarchist society. Otherwise, as you say, it would be impossible to implement. ‘What about the people who like rules?’ I’ve never met someone who doesn't. The problem is that everyone likes different rules. Anarchism addresses this problem by allowing everyone to make their own rules. ‘…where's their freedom to be ruled over?’ You claim a system of anarchy is an oxymoron, but here you say ‘freedom to be ruled’ as if that's not? No one wants to be ruled for the sake of being ruled. People want a government because of what they think it will do for them. Remember that, as I’ll come back to it in a moment. 1B: ‘…people, no matter the situation, will always create rules and/or rulers.’ There’s no reason people shouldn't create rules in an anarchist system. Everyone can and should create their own rules. Rulers are the problem. As I stated, anarchy will only work if almost everyone wants it. If almost everyone is trying to create an anarchist society, any attempt to establish oneself or someone else as a ruler would be nullified by the general populace refusing to obey said person. A ruler has to have subjects. If everyone refuses to be a subject, there will be no ruler. ‘…nobody wants anarchist countries.’ This is obviously not true, since there are anarchists. ‘Why do you feel you are being oppressed in the current system? I'm guessing for you it would be your desire to practice your sexual preferences,’ That’s definitely part of it, but it’s more than that. The way I see it, everyone is oppressed in the current system. There are laws to govern how fast you can drive your car and how much you have to pay your employees. Wouldn't any sensible person think that's a bit too much? As for the rest of this argument, you were spot on when you said people want security. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that security doesn't have to mean the sacrifice of freedom. Acts of theft, rape and murder wouldn't be issues if the intended victims could defend themselves. Humans are an intelligent species. It wouldn't be so difficult to provide security for ourselves without a government. 2: It seems you have a misconception about anarchy. You assume that, because there would be no government, there would be no organization at all. That's simply not the case. People would still organize themselves into groups that would be just as effective as what we have now. The only difference would be that the groups wouldn’t have leaders. Everyone would be equal.__________________________________________________________________________________ Now I'm going to expound upon what I said above: people want a government because of what they think it will do for them. Based on my observations, the government rarely delivers. Why, then, do the people put up with the government? Because they’re afraid of what the world would look like without it. People are instinctively afraid of change. That's why it takes so long to get anything major accomplished. If you disagree, tell me what the government does for society that society couldn't do for itself.
