Have you actually read the communist manifesto, or any of Marx's other political writings?

It's quite clear to me that he DID believe that big government--and an incredibly oppressive one--was enough to secure his ends, his "utopia." In essence, this was a fascist scheme, whatever else you'd like to call it.

It's true that a lot of so-called anarchists were actually socialists.

it's widely accepted that the Ben Franklin said "A democracy ma'am if you can keep it" so the premise begins with a misquote..

Nope, the widely-accepted quote is "Republic." A simple google search will address that.

I say for those of you who like communism/socialism. Move to where they already have it. I'm sure you'll be welcomed with open arms. Those countries are losing people in droves; well those who are able to cut through the barbed wire that holds them in.
If you believe in all this, tell me why people have been coming to the US since it's beginning, legally or otherwise.

I'm sorry, but this model of the political spectrum is all wrong. In reality, there are TWO axes, which form a square or diamond shape. And the reason anarchy has never worked before (with the exceptions of Medieval Iceland, Medieval Ireland, and 17th century Pennsylvania) is because the "anarchist" coups were always executed by Collectivists, who merely used the promise of anarchism to gain support for their statist revolutions. Real anarchism is free market and individualistic in nature.

according to Webster: anarchy, absence of order-disorder. Chaos: state of utter confusion. Sounds pretty close to me. You should sell your computer and buy a dictionary.

Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which consider the state, as compulsory government, to be unnecessary, harmful, and/or undesirable, and favors the absence of the state (anarchy).[1][2][3][4][5] While some dictionaries define "anarchy" or "anarchism" as chaos and/or disorder [6][7][8][9] this narrow scope of the term is not how it is used in this article.

I don't need a dictionary, I've got my computer.

you don't understand the real meaning of anarchy, go to somalia... they have anarchy with no sure foot government in place. That place is so hostile, no one will tough it with a 10ft. pole.

I just want to show that there is a difference between the theory of anarchism and anarchy. Anarchists dont want chaos and disorder. Please read Alexander Berkmanns "abc of anarchism", its a discription of the anarchistic ideas.
