Isn't a problem with anarchism that after a while groups who are united with a leader will gain an advantage and you will end up with a monarchy?
Please aware me guerilla.
I like the idea of total liberty. But I would take a tiny little bit less liberty if it makes it sustainable. If such a thing is even possible...

The man who would allow others to rule him is the one displaying a dangerous excess of faith.
Adams' American experiment has failed precisely because he didn't recognize the contradiction inherent in his solution.
Fuck....
That was good.
There are so many different answers to Teggy's question floating around in my head fighting for me to pick right now... Oh which one to use?? Let's do a few, one for each of the different possible audiences:
For common trolls:
Because the GOP hasn't officially recognized Wickedfire as their overlords. Yet.
For serious people not aware of our process:
Libertarian Ron Paul is not losing any elections. He's won 12 so far and is currently in the lead for his 13th.
For serious ppl who are aware of our process, but simply think WF is the GOP target audience anyway:
Wickedfire is pretty much the opposite of mainstream america... The "Sheeple" mostly vote. WF is made up of the Wolves who sell to the sheeple.
For ppl who attempt pimp their married cousins on Wickedfire:
It must have something to do with how all women should be prostitutes, and Libertarians want to allow prostitution, amirite?

That has always been my thought as well. I do not think a society can be permanently in anarchy, because while there is anarchy there will be people who try to take that power for themselves. And eventually one of them will succeed in doing so.
I think anarchists would be far better served by pursuing a minarchist government, which is very close to anarchy and has the added benefit of not getting overthrown five years later by a rich man who wants to be a dictator.
The problem with this is that a society can not permanently be in a state of minarchy. US is a great example.
Minarchy --> Prosperity --> Massive Growth of the State --> Collapse
You could argue that we just need to tweak the terms of the social contract, and the constitution it supposedly binds you to. I don't have any faith that a single individual or group of people is capable of drafting such a flawless document. In fact, since value is subjective, it is quite impossible.
Plus, I'll take your 5 years, instead of voting in a rich man who wants to be dictator every 4.
^Yup, right on the head, pfgannon.
America is the biggest, most famous Minarchy ever created... Apparently we did it so well that it took over 200 years to become a socialist bloatfest, but we were lucky. A guy like FDR could have come along in the early 1800's just as well.
@Cardine: Perhaps if more exploration, and GASP! PRACTICE were done into a proper anarchy, then we may actually find ways of stopping the rich man who wants to be a dictator from taking over.

I am a libertarian. However as I watch politic all this time I see the inevitability of power. Just like selfish supply and demand create a "fair" market price, the same way evil creates "balanced" liveable political structure.
I saw evil as just balancing force. Opposes free market and you'll get screwed by corrupts and politicians.
For better or worse, a side effect of capitalism is indeed socialism. If everybody starves, it's natural to kill the thieves. If we grow prosper it make sense to appease the unproductive because it's cheaper to just feed them than killing them.
As for prostitution, prohibition of which is the mother of all trade restriction. Nobody will live on welfare if daddy is rich and anti prostitution laws and child support laws make producing babies expensive for the rich.
You want lower tax? Legalize prostitution and let women decide how much child support they want from the man before conception. You'll see your tax rate drop.

Basically telling government to be minimal is like telling businesses to make minimum profit.
Government will be small. However, the way it happen is not because libertarians insist that it's small. It'll be smaller out of competition.
Currently jobs are moving to china and minimum wage will be politically incorrect soon.
Jews didn't manage to eliminate anti semitism. They just move out to a place where anti semitism have no power. Then anti semitism having no benefit again for bigots simply disappear.
Now move all jobs to china and watch socialism crumble.
The same way, more and more people will move to countries where they are oppressed less.
If everybody oppress you, then something is wrong with you.

Liberal.
If my state polls with Romney within 5% of Obama, I'll vote Obama. If my vote won't matter, I'll vote for Jill Stein.
The problem with US politics is the first-past-the-pole voting system that inevitably leads to a vote for the lesser evil and will never allow a viable third party to emerge.
