Interesting idea. I've heard that some anarchist can be violent but the dozens of anarchist I know are all some of the least violent people I have ever met. Of course, they are anarcho-capitalist (people who don't believe in the initiation of force).

One of the anarchists I know has a web comic, Anarchy in Your Head. He sometimes uses it to encourage people to not vote. I agree with him about that because the turn out for elections is sometimes below 10% and people still don't seem to question the results.

The Anarchy in Your Head guy even wrote an article,

If You Vote, You Can’t Complain
October 14th, 2008

We’re all familiar with the expression “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” I take issue with that. It’s 1984 double-speak to me. We, the peasants, are presented with this extremely infinitesimal chance to influence the choice from an extremely small selection of masters, the choices having essentially already been picked by the elite. We then play the game and we are permitted to complain about the results knowing full well the rules and the stakes beforehand. Excuse me? That sounds like very poor sportsmanship.

Are you an anarchist? Maybe you are not the anarcho-capitalist type I'm most familiar with.

Actually, I consider myself radical reformist. It has anarchy in the front, but a structured government in the end.

Basically, tear down the entire govt and all of its laws and restart from scratch. Kind of a cold reboot for the US, as it's crashed with the Blue screen of death.



you want to totally remake are countries goverment?

Just imagine the damage one could cause with six molotov cocktails. The possibilities are endless!

What is to stop the new government from being almost as bad, the same as, or worse than the current government?  Have you heard Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics by The Who?

Tearing down a government sounds like a complete waste of time if there isn't a plan to replace it with something.

The system of government has already completed changed once in the US.  The US used to be governed by the Articles of Confederation.  However, the rich and powerful complained that they didn't have enough central control so they replaced the extremely decentralized form of government where almost all power was local with the Constitution.  So, if you value freedom, you likely look at the completely new system of government enacted by the Constitution as a massive lose of freedom.  If the current system of government was replaced, how do you know history will not repeat?

Of course, if you don't have a plan to replace it, sure. But that's not the matter Im talking about here, and its way too long of a discussion to type out the full details of =)

History doesn't have much time to repeat itself, if the ancient mayans are on track. 3 1/2 years left.
