I have some sympathy with the philosophy of anarchy (what little I know of it) - but then it occurs to me that we live in societies that were spawned from anarchy, and something similar would re-emerge if anarchy came to pass again.

Was it Proudhon (? or Kropotkin) who said "Once all men were free, until a fool said 'This is mine', and a bigger fool believed him." It'd happen again.
