[quote=Jannah] I actually know of many anarchists. It's actually a legit and fairly sound political idea. I think most of its short-comings stem from the fact that a stateless society wouldn't last very long surrounded by countries with actual organized militaries. From my understanding anarchism advocates for militia type things rather than an actual military. [/quote] Actually, there are a few countries without militaries: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_without_armed_forces] Besides that, suppose if Canada disbanded its military as superfluous, would America just invade without reason? Is Russia going to hop the Arctic Circle to invade and take over Canada just cause it's defenseless? The idea of countries simply launching campaigns to conquer other lands these days, without any reason, is kind of ridiculous.
