We live by control, or at least the illusion of it. When control is gone, there is only the abyss.
Or so some would have it.

Anarchy is where all the institutions have failed. In itself, it can be like a pressure release system before another institution is put in place.

I remember using the bathroom in a small bistro in a local university town. On the wall, in very neat block capitals, was the slogan,
"RESIST ALL AUTHORITY!"
It was written so neatly and regularly that I was tempted to add, "By Order".

people have too much invested in the status quo
they cannot imagine another way
they don't want the responsibility of freedom
humanity is too selfish for true anarchy
take your pick.

I'd begin with this--it is also often proferred as the reason why socialism/communism are "impossible".
Errico Malatesta, an old-time Italian anarchist, starts off his manifesto by explaining that anarchy doesn't mean chaos. It isn't lawlessness and orgiastic blundering about (that's the vision of a Christian society at the End of the Days). But it builds on decentralisation and constant shifting of power.

Everything I have ever feared rationally was a function of order. Anarchy is one of the most pleasant words in my lexicon.

Therein lies the rub. Because with those things nothing else would ever get done. Who would work in the factories?

Anyone who believes decentralization to anarchy will bring about some form of Utopia is an idealist at best and stupid at worst. Government exists for a reason. But why expect people to learn from history?

I am stupid at worst and an idealist at best. I have learned a lot from history, though, and find that accretions of obscenity bury hope; yet hope is the thing with a light on its ass.

The Green Party in England and Wales did actually try anarchy, in the strict sense of not having a single person identified as the "leader" of the party. The problem with this was that the media needed a consistently identifiable spokesperson, and it had a negative impact on any campaigning they did, so they eventually capitulated and elected a leader.

Couldn't they just elect a "spokesperson"? :)

Will do, because you say so.
