I would urge you to seriously look at anarchism and explain to me how it could ever possibly work... Just my little input, sorry I don't have the time to read up on all of your posts.
That's a common misconception, Anarchy means abolition of the state - some level of Chaos is I freely admit a likely result but it is not explicit, but if the government ended tomorrow things would largely continue as normal - Belgium hasn't had a government for over two years so they could be considered an anarchy.
I suppose it is a misconception.
I'm a capitalist, a left wing capitalist if you will. I'm going to admit, whether it be out of my ignorance or not, anarchy scares me. I feel secure with big brother as long as big brother is kind and caring. Democracy is nice because it let's you change and pick your big brother. Libertarianism takes the assumption that big brother is not necessary, or as necessary as people like myself think he is which from what I can pull together is completely false. That's how I make my assertion.
For me, as long as a democracy is in place, regulated capitalism is the way to go.
