Anarchy

'That's the point. Everyone makes their own rules, but no one else has to abide by them.' How does that work! Please explain to me how that works, give me an example, anything, because it doesn't make sense. If one of my rules is to not rob anyone, and someone robs me, what then? His rules could be 'you can rob anyone' What would happen then? If I say 'Hey, you broke my rule! I'm going to beat you up in revenge', then you aren't honouring a rule they can make saying 'It's ok to steal stuff'. And anyway, if you can only make rules for yourself, how are there any rules? if nobody has to follow your rules, that's just the same as having no rules. 'Once again, no one wants to be ruled for the sake of being ruled. It goes against out natural instinct.' I would say having sex with a corpse goes against our natural instinct as well. You seem to disregard people's views just because you don't like them. ' Everyone is free to create rules, but the rules only apply to the one who created them.' WELL HOW ARE THEY RULES THEN IF THEY ONLY APPLY TO YOURSELF? 'In an anarchist society there are no collective decisions to be made, as that would be government.' How can that be true when you said this: ' People would still organize themselves into groups that would be just as effective as what we have now.' How could a group be just as effective as they are now if everybody pitched in, no decisions could be made as one person would want one thing while the other wouldn't. There would be nobody to say 'This is the best decision and we're sticking with it' If there are no collective decisions to be made then how would the anarchist society be anywhere near as effective as what we have now? 'In the case of those who can"t figure it out, well, that"s called natural selection.' What do you mean natural selection? If someone is speeding and kills me with their car, because there are no rules, that doesn't mean he is unable to breed. Please expand on this point. ' Therefore, if the wages are too low, and all the prospective employees turn down the job, the owner of the establishment will either raise wages or go out of business.' That doesn't work if it's the only job available to you, and you can't turn down the job if you are starving and NEED money. The government is needed so that factories don't become slaving institutions again. 'There will always be people who will step in to defend those who can"t defend themselves. ' No, there won't. People are selfish. If people would always step in to help people who needed help, why is there a police force? Many times on the street people don't give to the homeless etc, so how can they be relied upon to protect others? ' Prison would not be necessary if the people who would want to commit the acts which are now called "crimes" were aware that their intended victim may very well be armed, and would probably not hesitate to cause them serious damage.' ??? In many countries people are armed, but crimes still happen. Murders, robberies etc. So your statement above is objectively untrue, as in the US robberies happen all the time, and people are armed. 'Why then should we all have to follow the same rules?' How could rules effectively be enforced if everyone made their own rules up. Answer me that question.
