Topic: Where can I find an anarchy? - page 2. (Read 2820 times)
If it is anarchy you want, then join the CIA. It is their stock in trade. They will teach you marketing skills, weapons and bomb making, interrogation, and any other skill that can be used to be disruptive and overthrow governments (including in the US). Their goal is hell on earth.
And, strangely, they are getting the benefits of anarchy along with the, umm, slight inconveniences.

Yep, business is thriving in Somalia, but they still "need" a government for "stability". Though the article never mentions what the instability is. Perhaps stability is just a synonym for government? Never mind that the previous Government destroyed the country. Lots of opinion, no sources or justification.
I hope Somalia continues it's course toward a free society and rejects the attempts by the UN to install a democracy.
to the guy saying the Internet is anarchy, stop being silly. The Internet is a government creation and if the government wanted, the Internet as we know it can be turned off by ICANN, a body whose members are government appointed and whose very existence depends on the government.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, ICANN has this big red button with key switches on either side of it, which has the magical ability to force arbitrary network operators (even those outside the US) to do whatever ICANN wants (most are already doing what ICANN wants, but only because ICANN doesn't want to "turn off" the Internet). Though it was never fully explained to me just how it works exactly...
Seriously though, the power that ICANN and other governing bodies have over the Internet is purely voluntary. If their decisions prove unpopular, network operators can and will simply ignore them, except where required by local laws (and sometimes even then).
Exactly. ICANN can told to stop DNS working and local ISPs can be told to close down. The Internet is not in a state of anarchy - its regulated.

You can't - humans always gang up and appoint leaders. There never had been nor will there every be a society without a publicly enforced government or violently enforced political authority.

Right here. It's called the Internet. It seems to work pretty well all things considered.
