Is Anarchy a bad thing?

Question

im writing a six page paper on why Anarchy is bad... can you help me out?

Answer 1

Yes; Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχία anarchía, "no authority") has a popular meaning of disorder[1]. However it has a more precise meaning in political philosophy to describe any human society which exists without a state. Three circumstances have been identified for this:

societies where no state has ever existed;
societies where an existing state has collapsed;
societies, whether real or speculative, where the state has been consciously abolished. Anarchists are those who advocate the absence of the state, arguing that common sense would allow for people to come together in agreement to form a functional society allowing for the participants to freely develop their own sense of morality, ethics or principled behaviour. The rise of anarchism as a philosophical movement occurred in the mid 19th century, with its notion of freedom as being based upon political and economic self-rule. This occurred alongside the rise of the nation-state and large-scale industrial capitalism, and the corruption that came with their successes.

Although anarchists share a rejection of the state, they differ about economic arrangements and possible rules that would prevail in a stateless society, ranging from complete common ownership and distribution according to need, to supporters of private property and free market competition. For example, most forms of anarchism, such as that of anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, or anarcho-primitivism not only seek rejection of the state, but also other systems that they perceive as authoritarian, which includes capitalism, wage labor, and private property. In opposition, another form known as anarcho-capitalism argues that a society without a state is a free market system that is both voluntarist and equitable.

The word "anarchy" is often used by non-anarchists as a pejorative term, intended to connote a lack of control and a negatively chaotic environment. Whether because of this or a desire to differentiate themselves from individualist anarchists some activists (primarily during the late nineteenth century) self-identified as libertarian socialists. In more recent times anti-authoritarian has offered another similar self-identification. However, anarchists still argue that anarchy does not imply nihilism, anomie, or the total absence of rules, but rather an anti-authoritarian society that is based on the spontaneous order of free individuals in autonomous communities, operating on principles of mutual aid, voluntary association, and direct action.

It would be chaos throughout the civilization.

Answer 2

Anarchy has been the way of the international as a results of fact the initiating. Sovereign international locations are by ability of definition contributors of the Anarchy. There are no longer any rules they must persist with of their international. it relatively is approximately to come again to an end. Anarchy isn't good or undesirable.

Answer 3

anarchy is a world of chaos, wars bloodbaths. a real jungle. think about it.

the main purpose of government is to maintain stability within a civilization. unless you want to live like an animal, we need laws to survive.

to the responses above me, do not know what they are talking about. to agree collectively on handling decisions is not anarchy. Anarchy is not having to be held accountable, no one to answer to.

Answer 4

the biggest guns, the most friends, and the most resourses to support both the guns friends and replenish their resorces (ofcourse munitions might be the only resource you need an an anarchist society)... but generally anarchy lasts just long enough for those with allies and weapons to control those without... the anarchy itself is pretty bad considering crimes and what would happen if no one did anything about them... or could do anything about them...

Answer 5

Anarchy isnt bad, its pretty good. Mostly because we get out of this system.

Answer 6

Anarchy is just fine for those who have the biggest guns

Answer 7

Anarchy is an excellent form of self-governing if social conscience is high enough. currently the human animal is too greedy and self-absorbed for Anarchy to have any chance of success

Answer 8

anarchy is democracy taken seriously
survival of the fittest
I'm game!
