People tell you that Anarchy is "dangerous" , because they have been brainwashed into thinking like that , in the end we have come to existance through Anarchy , and guess what , we are still here , we just became slaves on our way at some point and got subjugated by few men who "rule" this planet and sold our freedom in exchange for a little security .
According to Hobbes, in the state of nature everyone has a right to anything. That includes the right to take life, and worse. If he's right then anarchy is even more impossible. Because his state of nature IS no society, it goes to show why your definition of anarchy is the worst possible system.

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

I don't need a government to solve disputes I have with somebody else , besides if there wouldn't be governments and states who fueled their peoples hearts with hate against each other , there wouldn't be no reason for any disputes .

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 ?
