A. I'm a Socialist, not a Capitalist(although I use the 19th century definition of Socialism, not the modern definition)

B. We use different definitions of ''the State'', as I said earlier

C. And I want to abolish ''the State''(taxes, the DEA, etc.)

Besides, anarchists have been calling themselves libertarians for FAR longer than the recent capitalist libertarian movement; you stole our word and we'd really like it back.

I have found a better definition of Anarchism.

Anarchism, in the words of Benjamin Tucker, may be described as the doctrine that "all affairs of men should be managed by individuals and voluntary associations, and that the State should be abolished."

The State is "the embodiment of the principle of invasion in an individual, or a band of individuals, assuming to act as representatives or masters of the entire people within a given area."

Government is "the subjection of a non-invasive individual to an external will."

Anarchy= A high value on canned goods and ammunition.

Anarchy would not produce a 'polite' society even if everyone had a submachine gun. You have to sleep sometime. To avoid being killed in your sleep you could get a group of like-minded people and share the responsibility of keeping watch over your life and your stuff.

Of course a larger group will get together to take your stuff and overwhelm your guards. You will need a larger group. Might need a few rules to make sure that no one is falling asleep on guard duty or anything.

Hmmm....walls would help to defend us. Who should build them and who should practice with the guns? Let's have one group practice and one group build. That way each will be specialized in what they do and we will get done faster and we will be better protected.....

....I dub thee Sir Rad Monkey of the Punked out Hair. You are charged with defending these lands and the commoners who work them for me. Swear Alliegence to the king and arrise, Knight.
