| SamuelRSmith said: I always love that argument against anarchy. "The worst thing about anarchy is that we might end up with Governments", so the worst-case scenario is what we have today? Ok, cool. I can't really answer the points you raised in this post without delving too much into philosophy and we'll both be dealing with abstractions with no empirical evidence, I can't be arsed with all that, so I'm bailing on this one. |
I'd imagine the worst case scenario would be subjugation or annihilation at the hands of someone who is stronger and doesn't practice anarchy.

I don't think so. Government is far from blameless, of course. Politicians are all too glad to feed some of the worse human impulses: always telling you that you're selfish to want to keep what you have earned but never, ever telling you that you're selfish for wanting what someone else has earned. That sort of thing does tend to create a feedback loop, but it can only happen if a culture accepts the premise in the first place.
