There’s theoretical anarchy, which is a utopian aspiration that most humans are not enlightened enough to partake, and there’s real-life anarchy that I interpret as chaos. There are definitely countries that are in a state of chaos where the man with the most guns controls all potable water, food resources and anything else a person needs to survive. I cite the majority of Liberia, Chad, Ghana and others.
These are places that have well-armed, competing factions roaming the countryside pillaging, raping, torturing and murdering innocent villagers. As a villager, at any time, a group of men with automatic long guns in the back of a pickup can come through your village and take all the live stock, all the young men and girls. Then, a couple of days later, the competing faction will come through and kill everyone for assisting the enemy.
This happens on a daily basis in many countries. A visit to one these places will make you realize how far our societies are from this, yet how dangerous are those within our societies that who wish for rapid, radical change in our governments. It really makes you appreciate what you have and makes you much more willing to work within the system to encourage change, encourage evolution rather than revolution. The countryside in Haiti was like that after the 2010 earthquake for awhile. I had a German aid worker tell me that if he had a house in Haiti and a house in Hell, he’d rent out the house in Haiti and live in Hell.
Are humans developed enough to live in enlightened, theoretical anarchy? I don’t think they’ll be ready for another thousand years.
