The Accidental Anarchist | Carne Ross

Very interesting. I certainly understand where he is coming from and even identify with his disillusionment with any form of government as a means by which we actually do more good than harm. Government, like many organizations does tend to become self-serving, which includes self-aggrandizement, self-enrichment and self-preservation.

However, the implementations of some kind of anarchism that he describes seem to have been tried on either smaller scales or larger ones where I suspect that education or literacy rate is lower and the economic divide is wider than what it is in most of the western world. I think the more groups and more interests you introduce into any system, the more difficult it becomes to make decisions via committee. In this case, everyone involved.

Still, it would be an interesting experiment on a larger scale with a more diverse economic and sociopolitical population to see where it ultimately went.

Food for thought. Thanks for sharing.
