Never said it won't involve re-inventing the idea of goverment, like many innovations it would require a new set of definitions to replace less accurate, or out right incorrect constants. Unless goverment is untouchable by scientific method. I live in a world of matterial things, and attempt to avoid dogmas myself. When something proves itself repeatedly to not work, I tend to look for better methods, and explinations. Better systems of description.

Now Pgrmdave, what you talk about has to do with material good distribution, which is an economic concearn, not a social power allocation concearn, see my previous posts. One of them has to do with the discussion of the indepence of areas of goverment. We, in america, live in a Republic-Capitalistic society.

As for everyone not having the time for this or that? Not true. as I have already put forward, the societial model that I enspouce requires diversification, and interest into many facets of society. Admittedly it would be difficult for those who wish to specialize down one obscure form of Bridge engineering.

Ideally, in my opinion the model would be an Anarchy-Socialistic society. Each person would contribute to as many areas as possible, learning how to do a great many things, rather just a few. The goal would be to eliminate as many menial tasks as possible. Whatever can be automated should be, as quickly as possible. Efficiency, production, and effective resource distribution are the high-lights of the model I want to see.

Like with the law, it is the citizen's duty to understand the system. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Me and you, we maybe good at a few fields, and more than likely those are the fields we would work in the most, but are not our only "educations", like college the citizenry would be required to diversify.

Then again I may not be talking about a simple change of goverment... I rarely talk about simple swap outs, or patches. I like to talk in whole paradigm shifts.

So you know, your right. History attests to it. The world is very reluctant to change, and will outright resist to the moment where it's finally ready.

Anarchy is simply a method of power, and responsibility distribution. Which de-emphasizes governence by authority, and figurehead.

Goverment is simply the name of the system that a society develops to help individuals run smoothly, alone and together.

You can no more "remove" goverment from a society, than you can "remove" personality from a person, and still have a person. If you remove physics, particles do not simply cease to be. all of it is simply a system, a set of symbols, to guide our understanding and discission making processes.

So as Buffy pointed out, perhaps what I am talking about is not so much "anarchy" in the archaic, but rather a new term, or definition, what could be coined as "neo-anarchy". With old understanding comes old (and often mistaken) assumeptions.

Democracy is not Anarchy and likewise. Anarchy is the recognition of the individual as the defining portion of the society. Democracy is the recognition of the group as the defining portion of the society.Anarchy is to Democracy, as Republic is to Monarchy.
