Anarchy? Why the Fuck Would You Do That?

by Belisarius

Anarchy seems to be all the craze these days. Being a rebel is considered the single most important thing to some teenagers, and even lonely single adults. I do not know why the hell someone would devote themselves to such an unworthy cause as Anarchy, but then again I'm suprised some people even know how to breath. Anarchy is, and I quote "a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority". Now, the "absence of governmental authority" should catch your eye.

The lack of government would completely absolve you of any unlawful doings because the government no longer exists. Simple enough right? Your correct. This aspect is completely truthful. The government no longer exists so you can rape, murder, and pillage whatever the hell you want. But your forgeting one of the more important tasks assigned to government: import, export, and employment (mostly). Without an appropriate import/export system a government, any of them, would not be able to properly supply their civilians. But who gives a fuck right? No one, and that would be the problem.

Countries as large as the U.S. would cease to operate properly if it lacked the necessary food import from other countries. On a larger scale than that is if your not getting paid to farm, why the hell would you do it? A food shortage would occur because everyone is doing everything mentioned above, raping, murdering, and pillaging, hence destroying the infrastructure that keeps the US from becoming a third world country. Complete Anarchy would create such an uproar that within 1 year almost the entire US would be destroyed, people included. Because no one is farming food, sewwing clothes, or producing any thing neccesary for survival, this includes Electricity. Without technicans how could a power plant work?

When Anarchists (The ones that spraypaint the A on cars and buildings)destroy property and burn stuff down to show your rebellion, your sowing the seeds of your own demise. Without the government you pubeless kids wouldn't have food to eat, clean water to drink, or clothes to wear. Your too busy trying to be cool and rebelling to notice it. Government is a neccesary part of life, like it or not. But there is one way that Anarchy would work.

Provided everyone, and I really mean everyone, decided to work for the good of the people, than Anarchy could technically work because no one is abusing the system (or the lack there of). The flaw there is that you can't force everyone to agree to work for the common good. Ergo complete Anarchy cannot exist because either A) Everyone would do there own thing or B) No one would work for the common good. Now after that speech, does Anarchy seem so rockin anymore?
