Anarchism is the perfect way to live, but sadly, falls into the same catergory as communism in the eyes of the US and other capitalist world powers. We are told to belive that anarchism is a bad thing, but most do not know what it means. It has been assigned it's negative connotation (pure chaos) by governments worldwide, in order to preserve the system. The system of discrimination and hatred, which is leading you deeper and deeper down the dark road of oppression and subjugation.

If it were a perfect world, anarchism might work. But then again, if it were a perfect world, most other governments (like communism for example) would work just as well. As we all know, it's not a perfect world, and won't ever be a perfect world.
anarchy shows somewhat resemblence to communism in the sense that it believes in the complete equality of thoughts in all our heads. the thing is we're not the same and this inequality creates the realization that someone other than me can be out to kill me, so i need to protect myself as efficient as possible.
anarchy in the positive way is an ideal, but we see no way to realize it. we have to deal with the fact that we're different and that the state contract is the best resolution for peace for some at this period in time.
