I was merely debating the revolution V. reformism arguments - I wasn't saying I endorse anarchy (I don't). Honestly, I don't feel comfortable debating anarchy and saying right away it is entirely stupid without reading the books first - I made that mistake many times and I've been defeated (and mocked) by people who know better than me.
One of the things that confuses me is that anarchists frequently say that laws can still exist without a government to prevent chaos - But my question is - If authority is a requirement of any law (otherwise no one needs to follow it), how can there be laws?
Pyrrho - I think that's a very simplistic counter-argument - If your State abolished the government, would your first reaction be stealing from the guy next door?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
