    More evidence that anarchy is as much a pipe dream as communism.

    That is insulting even to suggest and is basically a poorly disguised way to take a cheap shot at the American military. I have met a lot of soldiers and I have yet to meet any that were in a gang. There might be some gang members, but it is probably the same percentage as other professions.

    However, I will join you in your game. I bet if we armed and deployed the bloods/ crips or other gangs, they would wipe the floor with most country's military.

    I'm skeptical too, dude. I don't believe my nephew for a moment, but it sounds true enough to be real.

    Anarchism as a process is the only possible way for a continuous evolution towards an ideal society, with the supposition that the 'common people' are the basis for morality.
    A nice little story, but ultimately unsupportable considering states and civilization are responsible for our present technological and sociological advancement.

    Or because anarchism never has the ability to coordinate labor by default.
