Upon further reflection I concede my original statement about anarchism .

Single best article I have read on the subject. because not only does it give examples of the government not being needed for something it gives real world examples of the anarchist solution working .

Expecting me to go read ten links is unrealistic. Even if I had that sort of time handy, devoting it only to your ten links is nonsense. If you cannot summarize your points intelligibly, why should anyone think that you actually understand what you're posting?
Regarding your link, it needs to be pointed out that the Spanish Revolution which he uses as an example didn't create a "new civilization". You may or may not know of the Caudillo, but he ruled for decades as a tyrant. Not quite anarchy, I'd say. This rather makes my point, that arguing by link doesn't demonstrate a grasp of the issue.

As Peter Gelderloos tries to point out in his article the difference between an anarchist model of decision making to an Government model .
They say that, but then they describe -how- they would achieve x and it sounds like government to me. It's been suggested, in this thread, that "anarchists" would band together to organize their labor and their rights. That's government. Maybe what anarchists really want is many smaller governments of which they are a greater part?
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
