Anarchy is better than communism

Just to start this off, I apologize for having misspelled the word "you", sometimes I type faster than I should and things get misspelled and my eyes pass over them in re-reading. Now, onto the point. I would have to disagree first of all with your statement, "Government is necessary for co-operation" in fact government isn't necessary for cooperation at all. Does it take government to come to an agreement with someone about something? I think not, and that is the essence of cooperation. Another point I feel is necessary to make here is that a government isn't required for there to be "laws", laws in essence are just rules which we as a society see fit to not break. If people can make rules for themselves and keep them, whether those rules are based on morals or opinions or whatnot, then it is completely possible that people can uphold rules as a whole if there is a sense of camaraderie and understanding amongst those in a society. If there are rules in a society without a government it doesn't mean they won't be upheld, in fact I'm sure there are plenty of people who would give punishment to anyone who goes and "kills their neighbor" in a society where anarchy is present. Do you think everyone is just going to give up their morals and ethics because there's no government to withhold them? The next statement made: "Government is crucial for human existence, anarchism is only crucial for the downfall of the human race" is completely based on opinion. I also happened to do some research on places which in history have not had government. You'd never guess what I found, a list on UN's (United Nations) website of 16 countries which are non-self-governing. Meaning they don't have their own government. It's no wonder the places making the list are part of deserts or are in the middle of no where, but the point is they do exist. And in fact, there is life there. Which definitely proves you wrong that human existence requires government, because the people which are alive there don't have government. And about that whole, "Anarchism is only crucial for the downfall of the human race" thing... If no society has existed without government how do we know it's going to be the downfall of everyone without it? Just to clarify against the next major point made: We don't need government to live. We need water, air, and food to live. Now, to clarify my previous point that in a communist society there is no room for individuality. The definition of individuality is something which distinguishes someone from someone else. Don't get me wrong here, there's definitely individuality required in choosing who you marry or what career you have, but you can't tell the difference between two people based just on that. Individuality is based on much more than two simple decisions. It's based on a lot of things, like what music you like, what shows you watch or books you read, what religion you are, etc. Without those things we're all pretty much the same person. Now I realize how much of an exaggeration calling people in a communist government robots is, but it proves a point. Without individuality, without characteristics which differentiate us from one another, we are all just like one another. Isn't that the same as being a robot? Not being able to think for yourself, or to make your own decisions, or to come up with your own opinions? I hate to bring up fiction here but haven't you ever read the book 1984? Or Fahrenheit 451? Where they live in a communist government so controlling they all act the same. Would you really rather live in a world like that than in a world where it takes trust and friendship understanding to live? Is it really that hard for people to get along with each other? There's no real evidence that every single society which takes on anarchy is going to be chaotic. I'm not saying anarchy has a good history by any means, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible for there to be anarchy without chaos. Referencing the only book I know which has history from "the beginning of time", The Bible, I would like to point out that in the beginning Adam and Eve had no government. They didn't kill each other did they? I realize this reference makes it seem kind of religious, but it's not about religion at all. It's about the simple fact that people don't need someone telling them what they can and can't do every single second of every day just to live. The argument here isn't whether the world needs government to survive. The argument is whether anarchy is better than communism. And many of the points made by my opponent are simply referencing that we need government. The simple fact is, that's not the real argument. As you can see, the only real point made which said anything close to being good about communism specifically is "There are several negatives to a communist society, but it is no doubt better then anarchism." The question I would like to ask is, Can you really come up with an argument, not based on any other form of government than communism which proves that communism specifically is better than anarchy? Communism as it turns out is one of those things that sounds good in theory and is bad in practice. Has anything good ever come out of it? Have you heard of any government which withholds communism for longer than a century? I haven't. You know why? Because as it turns out people don't like being controlled all the time. Every fiber of our beings longs for complete freedom. Now to come to a conclusion: First: Communism isn't necessary for life (That also is a bad use of exaggeration) Second: Government isn't required for cooperation Third: Individuality isn't just picking who you get to marry, it consists of much more. Individuality is nearly non-existent in a communist society, while in a society of anarchy there is room for any kind of individuality Fourth: Just because there is no government doesn't mean there would be now law. You don't need government for people to hold to rules as long as there is common-ground (Like the moral that killing your neighbor is a terrible thing to do) Lastly: A quote, "Are laws not dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear." -Marquis de Sade
