For a really thorough discussion of all of this, check out "An anarchist FAQ": http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/index.html



TL;DR. Sorry, I'm not going to read a 500 page dissertation on the philosophical points of Anarcho-communism, and all the various forms of Anarchism. If you want to bring me around to thinking Anarchy would be anything other than Mad Max you'll probably need to give me a bulleted list of reasons why.

I guess what I'm asking for is some evidence, not philosophical links from a huge, wordy FAQ.


The problem is that not everything can be fit into one page. We're talking near-total changes to the very most fundamental ways that we've built society, and so a bullet list should not be able to convince you.

As for evidence, maybe look at existing communities? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anarchist_communities

The Spanish Revolution is probably the most popular one cited.
