Democracy is government. Anarchism and democracy are mutually exclusive.

ok, so it looks like you need to learn some political theory before we continue.

the general lack of prosecution or other penalties

Yes. This is probably the actual biggest injustice or outrage of this period in history.

This is definitely Obama's fault, too. 100%. I'm not being sarcastic.

Actually, I believe I would trade the killing (or capture*) of Osama bin Laden for a house cleaning of Wall Street in the aftermath of 2008.








*by capture, I don't mean that he is secretly captured or something... I'm comparing the alternate scenarios, not making a claim to its legitimacy.

It's not my fault or problem if you don't know what words mean.

Anarchism is the absence of political structure.

A democratic political process is a political structure.

If that didn't help, might I suggest the dictionary.

The tabula rasa doesn't really exist. If you were to take a sentient, intelligent alien species and put it in the exact same environment as us, the aliens would react differently because, despite plasticity, their genetics are going to give them different brains. Thus, there is a biological component to human nature that cannot be neglected.

hence my use of the word mostly. there are some aspects which are inate, but most are learned and shaped by our environments (i don't just mean our immediate environments, but also the wider context of economic systems, social and cultural norms and political ideas).

anyway, it's been interesting to talk about this subject, but i'm going away for the weekend, so won't be able to respond for while.

Do you think more people will commit theft, murder and rape if there are no cops to arrest them and no prison for them to go to?

There's no laws, so that's not illegal.

not even wrong.

i'm not trying to be rude, but you've shown here that you understand neither democracy (or rather the various meanings and conceptions of that word) nor anarchism, yet you're making assertions about them, and expecting some kind of response.

[Sava]

What I've demonstrated is that I can cite the meaning of pretty straight forward political terms.

Correctly. I might add.

The only response, if any, that I'd like to see is, "oh hey. i looked those words up. maybe i should do that more often lol"

... or something to that effect.

If this is a troll, that's fine. I'd rate your effort 0.2/10.

If you need me to get mad, write in all caps, ANDMAKE EXTENSIVE USE OF

I can.

What do they do once the detective solves the case? Vigilante justice?

A quaint trial by peers. Haven't you watched enough TV?

in MURICA, lynching would be the norm

[pchang]

It's kind of cute to see idealists like C0ckney. We should probably just rob him and take all his stuff now. He won't survive the winter anyway.

[Felch]

I've run sophisticated computer simulations and found that anarchy is not a good thing.

God, Civ2 was great.

[Kidlicious]

No laws = no criminals.

Hmmm... very good.
