    That would be pretty nice to see functioning anarchic societies. You are using the wrong term, you mean anomy.

    I think we will get a bit of a taste of that in the next years.

      OK I read the article two things I have to say. WTF. And how absolutely we have a term for it. But after that it was a great read. But comparing it its still fucked up

        Because most people use the word anarchy for a society without rules and without order. Right of the strongest, 365 days The Purge or something like that. But anarchism isn’t about that, but about a peaceful way of living without hierarchies and rulers. I was sure, that is not, what OP meant.

          My question was about OP’s use of the term. Why do you think he misused it? “What do we do if X happens” —> “anomie is different from anarchy” seems like a non sequitur.

            As I wrote before, I think OP meant to ask what happens if the US falls into a state of anomy. Nearly everybody who talks about that, uses the word anarchy instead, which is wrong.

            Should be clear enough now, I hope.

              Why do you think he was wrong? He didn’t say anything that suggested he didn’t know the definition of anarchy.
