I wonder what would happen if someone made a film series about libertarian vampires who can only truly love a woman that accept the Non-Aggression Principle. Maybe that would get their attention.

viva anarquia!

No no no. You got it all wrong. Somalia is a war zone, and a place of no co-operation. Stephan Molyneux at least, is very clear that an Anarchist society cannot exist when people are conditioned from childhood to be violent. When people beat their kids, and explain to them how Statism works etc, you create violent people. Peaceful parenting, over hundreds of years, is the only way that Anarchism could work, as then people would be in a "state" of freedom and think in terms of voluntary activity.

I would love to find a freedom loving girl.

I like the idea of anarchy, my only issue with it is whether or not it's possible to maintain it. It seems coercion always finds a way. People like to mention Somalia as an example of anarchy but Somalia isn't anarchy; it's a low form of government. ............also, Megan is super cute.

Just make sure he's not a John Galt style "Mary Sue."

Atlas Shrugged was a great political treatise, but let's be honest, John Galt was a laughably one-dimensional cardboard character!

I believe it is. Yes.

Anything/Everything is not possible. But some things are to be considered possible and IF they happen to repeat themselves in many different situations, all over the world and throughout history, then I would suggest that it is realistic to think that it could happen again.

[jeffiek]

It was realistic THEN and THERE, that's not the point. Is it realistic in SWEDEN, NOW?

[ToxinalX]

It seemed pretty realistic back in Scotland, when I believe there was in fact close to Anarchy/Anarchism.

If all you seek is a mad man *motivated by* collectivist ideas outside the state, there are plenty to choose from.

They of course always used the state to enforce them, but further into our time, just look at Somalia and Somaliland.

I do believe it is realistic. In the same sense that the creation of any State that ended up suppressing its people, in the first place, was realistic.

[jeffiek]

Anything is possible, but is it realistic?

That would depend on when and where. The present? In Sweden? I don't think so, your opinion may differ.

Deciding what to defend against, and how much to spend is critical. State controlled defense will always spend too much ( they spend as much as the populace will put up with - a fragile limitation ). The US is an excellent example of this flaw.

Research the US involvement in Mid East affairs - you'll find the 2nd flaw.

[ToxinalX]

Could not a religious motive be enough for an attack? And if that was not enough, perhaps some kind of psychopathic or narcissistic leader controlling others who are religious?
