People Behave Socially and 'Well' Even Without Rules

It is the domain of the strong man.

It doesnt mean that...and like i said, I put that definition up as an example of how it is being mis defined and demonized. Anarchy does have an order in it. The community comes together and decides what its rules are:

"No theft"
"No violence"

Its usually very simple rules. A thief who is caught will be quickly escorted out of the community. Anyone who beats the shit out of the thief will also be kicked out of the community. The community enforces the rules, not some jack booted thugs working for corrupt politicians.

We have laws right now against theivery. Has that stopped theivery? Nope. Greed and profit are glorified in our lawful community. Anarchism puts people before profits. Anarchism puts the individual before the masses.

I argue that if people are treated as individuals, instead of a means to make profit, then theivery and violence would be lessened considerably.
