If you go back a couple of pages I think you will understand. There has been quite a few posts in between.
Why in this world, would any sane person promote anarchy, there are no laws or rule to keep your fellow man from bashing your head in because you caught him raping your little girl. Law of the land?, eat or be eaten, is that the way you want to live, if so move to Somalia where the War lords run the land and see how long you last. With out Law there is only Chaos, if the laws are bad, then you have three choices. Find a way to change them, Whine and live by them, or wait for the system to collapse and then re-write them. 👿
"We 'Prep.' to live after a downfall, Not just to survive."
Ranger is that a general question?
I'm not really sure weather it be a question or a statemnet or both. 😕
"We 'Prep.' to live after a downfall, Not just to survive."
Well it is a good statement. As far as a question I think that your last option for changing the status quo is the answer:" wait for the system to collapse" is partly the answer. I tend to think , possibly incorrectly, that most anarchists have nothing to lose. They seize any opportunity they can to tear down societal structure. Perhaps in the hope that they would fare better in a "new society". Perhaps they just hate the control that society in general has over them. So to add to your question is life WROL the aim of the anarchist. If so they will have lots of vehement opposition from people like you and me.

I went through the entire thread...looking closely at Wildernessretuns posts...i don't see anything that seems that controversial. Just the back and forth with bugboy..
There is discussion on Anarchy...am I missing something on this thread? My apologies if it's staring me right in the face...i just can't seem to find it.

Being more left-leaning in my youth than (i'm guessing) most folks on this board, I've had the opportunity to meet and get to know a lot of anarchists. They're a-holes for sure, but they're incompetent as well. I wouldn't worry too much about an anarchist revolution or them using a catastrophe to further their own agenda... They'd be too busy with infighting to be effective in any sense of the word.
They can out maneuver police and break some windows for an hour or two, but when it comes to confrontation, they're all just loud posturing and not much else. You might get a ballsier one who might throw a punch, but when met with force they scream "oppression" and beat feet. I had one try to grab my camera during the G-20 because I was taking pictures of the Black Bloc rioting. When I grabbed him and assured him that if he touched my gear I'd 'F--- him up', he shrunk away. That was the theme of the day; if someone got in they're way they'd escalate, if an individual stood they're ground, these kids would back down, if the individual relented, they'd persist to intimidate them.
Blowhard A-holes, not much else... Most grow out of it by the time they finish their degree in the Liberal Arts or hit their late 20's.
As for their aims... your guess is as good as mine. As best I can tell the ideal is an egalitarian society where you spend most of your day trying to eke-out a living and the rest of your day in a spokecouncil with your peers arguing about how to divide up the grain supply.
Don't worry, I'm not a communist either. As far as I'm concerned they're as lame as anarchist, but more boring.
Are these the biggest problems or worries you have right now or just bored and nothing to do ????.

The Black bloc is a joke. They are creators of chaos and not creators of an anarchist society. Media has thrown the word anarchy around as if it means chaos. The Black bloc wants chaos, nothing more. In the spirit of Anarchy I however would give up my land title if it meant people would come and grow food and live without the structure of banking institutions and government. We are without a doubt living a lifestyle that is guided and controlled by someone of higher legal standing. If you fail to pay taxes then they can put a lien on your home and seize it if needed on the banks behalf, so where is the freedom to live as one wishes (off the land and the land only)? We are slaves with limited choice since all TPTB did is exchange the whip with paper currency. Unfortunately civilized anarchy cant take place because of a few asshats, therefore we must put up with Big Brother and its enforcement.
And by asshats I mean murderers, thieves etc.
I prep for any situation that doesn't involve a major meteor impact or all out nuclear war. Would not want to survive those two events to be honest. Even if you survived either of those a painful death from radiation poisoning, starvation and/or beyond freezing temperatures during the nuclear winter is all that would follow IMHO. Superstorms, natural disasters, societal/financial collapse, long term power outages and even food shortages and I am pretty much ready.

"Perhaps, Andy, but the last time there was big time unrest, most people lived in rural areas, grew their own food and relied on each other for help. Now, most are confined in big cities and would rather steal from their neighbor. Very different demographics these days..."
There is another factor that I believe is very important and overlooked all to ofter..
I believe there are basically two types of people in the world..50/50
1. People that do the right thing because they are driven to do so, and
2. People that do the right thing because they are afraid of the repercussions of doing whatever they like versus the right ting..
Years gone by it was easy to control #2 as the vast majority believed in some form of organized religion, and that if they did bad things they would burn in hell for ever..
But not any more....
I think that when the next issue is at hand, it will be honest people that will be outnumbered, by people with no fear of repercussion, and no fear of hell..
Do believe in Hell?? No. Do I believe in people? Some. Do I think that the other 50% will be an issue.....oh yeah.
