We need government or society in order to resolve disputes. Ask any of the great thinkers. |

So if Anarchy is the worst possible "system" (it actually is not a system , it's the abstinence of any kind of system, which includes systems that oppress and control their people) , what would your advice be referring to a system that is fair and offers freedom to it's people ? Or better said , is that even possible , now that we can't go back from the idea of having a government/state ? |
Yes you do. If you take retribution, invariably the other will feel he has been wronged, and he will lash out in response. Thus war occurs. You need a common higher power to moderate disputes. Thats why we create government.
Its still a system. Everything is a system. Stick with what Locke wrote about. Read his treatises. |

What you mentioned is one of the biggest problems mankind suffers under , we can't talk about stuff , if people disagree , they just tend to solve the problem with firearms , which is simply foolish to me , and pathetic aswell . Plus a "common higher power" hasn't changed anything about our nature, about the way we act , there's still rape , murder etc. ,nothing has changed , we are still wild beasts , we just exchanged our pelt with a suit and act all "humane" , but as soon as trouble starts , or we feel threatened we show our real faces , and governments won't be able to change that , the problem lies deeper , and you won't solve it with rules and laws or any kind of government , you can only tame the beast if you show it some love and give it the opportunity of choice , governments and their rules just deteriorate the situation , how do you want to guarantee safety for something you can't control ? You have to change peoples minds in order to let evilness disappear out of the human heart , and you won't achieve that with cutting peoples freedom . |
1 : a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole <a number system>: as a (1) : a group of interacting bodies under the influence of related forces <a gravitational system> (2) : an assemblage of substances that is in or tends to equilibrium
If there's interaction, there's some sort of system even if it just de facto. People use knives, rocks, fists, etc. Blaming the weapon is disingenuous. Read Hobbe's Leviathan and Locke's Treatises. |

And with system , I was relating to governments , you can't say that Anarchy is a sort of government , since nobody runs it , in fact the people run themselves , and of course people interact within it . |
People running themselves is society.

I think that in a large society, governments are necessary, unfortunately. That said, we give them FAR too much power, and they forget that they are only there because we chose them (just look at the current political situation here if you want an example of that, lol)
To work properly, governments need less power without having to actually find out the public's opinion, shorter terms and a more democratic system of election in many countries (e.g. the US or UK) |
