As for anarchism itself, there is one key question I've asked anarchists that I have never gotten a good answer for: If anarchism is such a great thing, why have there never been anarchistic societies that were good enough for others to emulate them?
It is because anarchy is inherently unstable, and instantly there are struggles for power. Just imagine there being no government, and what that would mean when your neighbor wants to take a loaf of bread from you.
The idea that everyone will get along and sing "Kumbaya" without a government is amazingly stupid.
Anarchists are idiots. They make Christians seem like rocket scientists.
