Law was created by the lawless. Anarchy is nothing more than a reset button, its not a permanent condition.
Actually, I have been to parts of the world where anarchy reigns supreme, have you? I know exactly what it looks like when survival is the only motivation.
How many thousands of years do you think it look to go from the lawlessness of wandering people of the stone age to the system of laws we have in place now? Anarchy isnt a reset button to play the game again, its the power button before you change the game.
What places of the world are these?
Give me an example of a place as culturally advanced as the US, that fell into anarchy for non economic reasons.
Also remember.... i said " no laws > too many laws" im comparing anarchy to an alternative, not promoting it.
Democracy gave us slavery, two world wars, a never ending war on terror at the expense of freedom and banned big gulps... who knows what "lawlessness" would bring.

What would i do today without laws...... hmmm..
Id probably take off my seatbelt, smoke a plant and go fishin, maybe ride my bike without a helmet....
ANARCHY!!!!!!!! ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
East Timor and the tribal areas of Asscrackistan to name a couple.
And why do you think the US is so culturally advanced? I'll give you a hint, it has to do with the laws that govern our interactions.
And I said the number of laws has nothing to do with it.
Cultural norms of the time.
I dont remember a vote over whether or not to start a world war. Can you link to it? I remember the US getting involved in WWI after the Germans sunk the Lucentania. I can remember the US getting involved in WWII after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
This is politicians, not democracy. Democracy is nothing more than a political theory. The republic we live in today is FAR different than a democracy.
I think the tribal regions in much of Africa would be a pretty good hint.
Youre missing the chicken vs egg argument. Law was created by the lawless. The "moral superiority" of America is not a result of law or government.
Africa lacks much more than law. Fill Africa with colleges, hospitals, business, markets, homes and arm every peaceful law abiding citizen, then see how they do with an absence of government.
Most of the world's genocide has been organized by governing bodies, whether it be religions or actual governments.
Any conclusion you come to about anarchy in America is speculation and opinion, theres nothing to base it on.
America was founded by the rebelious, defiance might be our oldest tradition.
On a "law scale" of 1-10, 1 being anarchy and 10 being the far left communist view where the government holds your dick for you when you piss..... id say we need to be at a 2-3. Were currently at a 6-7 and democrats want us to reach a 8-9
If you broke down every single law in America, what % of laws do you think would be vital for a peaceful existence?
