Anarchism - is a political philosophy that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary institutions. These are often described as stateless societies, although several authors have defined them more specifically as institutions based on non-hierarchical or free associations.

The description itself sounds so chaotic. Evil people will definitely take advantage of anarchism. We might go back to "the strong will live and the weak shall die" era. Nobody wants that to happen.

my opinion of anarchism is that people can do things freely there are no rules and ideals can coexist peacefully with all other people in a social system and then maximize individual freedom and equality among individuals based on voluntary cooperation between individuals or groups in society. naive indeed and like me, like a peace-themed film this is probably not going to happen because on the basis of its human being is a selfish creature.
 then if the world can walk with system or anarchism thinking, the world will be chaotic because human beings on the basis of its selfishness unless we can put aside individual interests as possible world will happen peace, anarchism is not free freedom. that's just my way of thinking

Tv series like walking dead etc. have nothing to do with anarchy and anti-authoritarian self governance.

Just watch 'The Walking Dead', anarchism is not sustainable, it is in itself self depreciating. It can only become a living example of the saying 'Survival of the Fittest', and this leads to the conclusion that the fittest become leaders, by whatever means. Anarchism has it's dubious short-term benefits, but as a societal solution, not so much.

I'm an anarchist. I'm proud of it, but very, very few people are willing to live the way I do.
Anarchism means no income tax, but also no welfare and no national health insurance.
Most people nowadays couldn't live outside of their nanny state's umbrella. I think it's very sad but that the way it is, and it's only getting worse. With each new government, countries only get mightier and mightier while individuals are turning into sheep.

Well, my country has been in the state of anarchy before and it did not offer anything good to the country. Evolution is a component of every developed country which i think is achieved through laid down rules and regulations. Leaders are needed to formulate plans and policies which lead to the development of every society or country. Anarchism can not bring any development to any country.

It is true that the leaders are needed, but to prevent anarchism must begin with education so that all understands the law and wants to obey it. Because usually anarchist action is mostly done by people who are less educated and do not understand the law, so act alone without considering the existing law.

I would just add that people always need a leader, someone who will take a responsibility for their decisions. Besides, our brain is made up in such a way that we strive for organized structure.
People who support anarchism are just tired of the existing government.

People don't need a single leader. There were societies governed by elders and they functioned pretty well.


Anarchism wouldn't be able to sustain itself. At least that's how I see it. At some point people would start to organize themselves into groups because it would be easier for them to steal from others in a large group. At the same time others who would prefer a peaceful life would organize enclosed societies that would be able to defend better against those attacks. At some point the society would grow so much that it wouldn't be possible to rely information and coordinate everything without people who would dedicate their whole time to this task. That's how local governments would emerge.

I don't think so, too much freedom will absolutely bring chaos. Even though some of the governments control our moves, we still need them to keep the society more livable.

The thing about it is, the world would still function, it just wouldn't be as organized. There would be a ton of chaos, and anarchism isn't exactly sustainable, it's in human nature to form societies so over time you'd see governments form again.

Depends on the type of anarchism, the world can work with any type of political or social society the main question is what it would look like, I highly doubt many people would be living enjoyably.

I'm wondering what are people's thoughts on anarchism, could the world function if anarchism became a standard and what would it look like?
