Can we find the perfect balance between anarchy and state?

Question

Please read this before answering.

Ive noticed more and more in the united states today, that we are losing our freedoms. But, as its already known, anarchy only works for a short time. Somalia being a perfect example, with no working government, Its a haven for killers, physically, and hatred, mentally. In the US, With this state, its a haven for MENTAL killers, and PHYSICAL hatred.

Is balance possible?

Answer 1

"a haven for MENTAL killers, and PHYSICAL hatred"?

Good try, but sometimes it is a better strategy to back away from the [Submit] button.

Keep reading. You sound like a smart kid, but you should reexamine the state of life in the United States. Living a free life under unprecedented prosperity and comfort can sometimes skew your perspective.

A good resource would be the public library. Read some papers from the Carter years for example. Though not always 100% accurate, the voice at the time is generally clearer than the spin decades later.

Answer 2

Anarchy only works where people are enlightened enough to operate out of respect of others, willing to let go of hatred and prejudice, and able to accept responsibility for their own actions and situations.

As a species, we're nowhere close. For an example of a society that does, read James P Hogans "Voyage from Yesteryear"

So the balance comes in being able to find a way to enforce laws that limit criminal harm to others, while still allowing maximum personal freedoms and civil liberties.
