Traditional Vs Stereotyped - Anarchists
The Anarchy that I refer to is this one:
c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government
Ultimately, sure - this would be great. Reality is that I have control over only very individual aspects of my life. I have to work to pay bills, I have to work to pay for a home and I'm not ready to go that far into"anarchism". I have control over the products we use, the foods we eat, the cars we drive, the things we do for recreation and how I work to get money.
Imagine if someone opened up their home of 25 acres to let people form an"Utopian Society".... It would be considered terrorism and/or a cult. Considering the age-old stereotype of the word "Anarchy"or Anarchist" - you wouldn't want to use those terms to the public, so you'd have to use something a little more traditional like a "Co-Op of Families" that share resources, food and their water supply. Hopefully that Society never gets large enough nor attracts any media coverage by fire or tragedy.
One day, as this world breaks down, we may be forced to live life this way. Sharing resources within a very confined area of neighborhoods and small towns. We may have to supply our own food and electricity. We may have to find our own water. We may barter some of our tools for 2head of cattle and horse. These things are a reality as our world in America quickly comes apart at the seams.Will we be able to hold it together as we sit in our comfy leased homes and as we drive our leased vehicles to work covered in full coverage insurance? Will our jobs maintain and our sources of income suffice in the years to come? I can't answer that, can you?
