Anarchism

[JefferyHale]

Contrary to popular belief, Somalia does in fact have a government. They have a parliament & a president. It is a democracy, just like the U.S., but different at the same time. I would have no interest in visiting because their culture differs from that in which I'm fond of & their climate isn't partial to redheaded individuals. The reason shit is so chaotic there, has nothing to do with government or lackthereof. Their civil unrest is due to their culture & most likely, religion(s).

Yes, Somalia has a government, that controls a few square miles of the country... That's it. Minus Somaliland (if Somalia looks like a number 7 on the map, Somaliland is the horizontal part), but no other country recognizes Somaliland as an independent state. However, Somaliland does have a functioning, central government. It's capital is Hergeisa.
Somalians have a clan-based culture. Each clan vying for control. Replace corporation for clan, and we get your ideal world. Though I do agree with you about the climate not suiting us pasty white folk (I got a nasty sunburn in Kenya after about 30 minutes in the sun).
As for roads, well I guess it's a good thing that America has them in time for the anarchy to begin. But roads have to be repaired regularly. Without a central government how would something this simple get accomplished?
I'd be happy with an admission/clarification of this being your ideal, fantasy, "if I were king of the world" world, not an actual world in which anyone would have to function. I can respect that, even if I don't agree with it. Because, pragmatically speaking, your plan sucks, especially if you aren't rich... or white (I can't overlook the racial undertones of social darwinism, sorry)

There are many successful & rich individuals who are quite wealthy & would most likely be advocates of such a system, who are not white. You're mistaking social Darwinism with ethnic cleansing I believe. I'm against Nationalism fully & find such abhorrent things utterly disgusting & contemptible. Though I'm guessing you're liberal, therefore, the race card being brought up does not shock me.

I'm far from rich. I do well, but even if I were poor (and I have been), I'd still be an advocate for the system. This isn't a system based on "well this would work great for me", but "this is what's truly fair".

Private business came first, then roads & bridges. They weren't originally developed by governments. To explain further as to how this would work in a stateless society, I will allow this video to capsulize on it.
