The problem with that is that often when the oppressed fight back successfully, they become the oppressor instead. And often both sides are oppressors and oppressed at the same time. Most oppressing is done in the name of some arbitrary ideal like country or religion. I really wish people would leave other people alone.
Halk, I know the ideal of anarchy is extremely difficult, maybe impossible to achieve. I'm not saying there shouldn't be rules or laws. But if the need for different countries arises from the fact that different people want different laws, then we should all be free to choose the country with the laws we prefer, and not have things like heritage, pride, ancestry, religion, colour or whatever get in the way.
I always find it funny (in a not funny way) that people can get along in their everyday life just fine, really like each other, be friends, be good neighbours, and then have a major disagreement about politics or religion and start hating, even killing each other. For me, this means these things are there only to divide us.
