Organized anarchy? You must be joking. That type of thing would only work on a very small-scale. Once a disagreement rears its head, the strongest wins.

Not neccesarilly. Numbers > Strength. 50 guys with sticks beat 1 guy with a shotgun. As long as the majority is good at heart, the few evil ones will never win.

And we could always try City States again. i once again ask you, what about Athens?

Some people do not like the idea of being rules by someone or a group of people being in charge. Some don't even like democracy, because either way, someones in charge, and you still lose out, especially when you have an opinion opposite of the majority.

Many countries in Africa DO NOT believe in the same things Americans do. In a country, there are smaller communities who believe in things like Hrae mentioned. There are little tribes/villages who have come together and made up their own laws, rules, etc, because they are just a small group of people who believe in similar stuff. Many tribes are ENEMIES. If you do not believe in what they do, or you come trying to change their views, they probably wouldn't like you or even consider anything you say. Hell, some might even chase you out or kill you. But I'm not going to stereotype.

People just have different beliefs =/ some would rather starve to death then have to listen to some authority figure. And some just aren't developing or believe in democracy, equality and rights like America and other developed countries do. I mean sheesh, the apartheid wasn't that long ago, and the Berlin wall went down the year I was born.

I believe that ideal was acctually expressed by aesop... either him or another one of the early writers... i believe it was said in the moral "Better to starve free than to live as a well fed slave". But i wonder, why not have the best of both? why not live well-fed and free? i dont see why anarcho socialism, once in place, wouldnt work :/
