    I don't like this sentence: "The whole world is ours by right of birth alone." The "Lords of the Earth" mindset, the concept of inalienable rights, and the disregard for anything but ourselves does not sound anarchist to me. Meh.

    From the page: "By the time of the Second World War, Anarchism had been tried and tested in many revolutionary situations and labour struggles. Alternative forms had been tried and discarded; the German Revolution had introduced the idea of Workers Councils. The experience of the American IWW had shown the possibilities of industrial unionism and 'how one can build the new society in the shell of the old'. In the 'flint against flint' argument against Marxist Communism, the lesson of what socialism without freedom meant in Russia, and the failure of reformist socialism everywhere, the anarchist doctrine was shaped.

    Anarchism is good philosophy, but I've yet to see it work.

    Isn't a web page about anarchy just too organized?

    Great page, makes plenty of good points. Just skimmed over it, But I did not see anywhere that it addressed that the people(atleast in this nation) are not mature/responsible enough to handle a life with out government. In fact most people in this country(US) are too dependent on the government. You also have to take into account the scum that is out there that love it when the legal system turns it's back. I can see that a decay in the social structure would be eminent. Less Gov, definitely, no Gov:eeeh I don't think we are ready.

    a sensible page about an interesting idea. An idea that through propaganda has not been given any real chance for thousands of years. or I could be wrong. lol
