  • Yes, but then there would be chaos... someone could come and rape, rob and kill you and that would be completely ok. A world without laws in one that would quite quickly self-destruct.
  • Total anarchy would ensue; rather like your grammar..
  • In many places, you can already do almost everything you want. You just have to be responsible for the consequences. Some nations and cultures put more emphasis on prevention and others more emphasis on individual responsibility after the fact.
  • Because, if there were no law, then the elite's power structure would crumble.
  • Gee.. that would be a great world to live in. No thanks.. I'm getting off this planet if that happens.
  • If you understand the situation in Iraq, you know why we have laws to govern and protect ourselves. Without laws, you could not drive your automobile, sleep safely at night, have a credit or debit card, mass killings of each other, and so on. Take a minute and think about the above paragraph. you now have and enjoy your freedom, because of laws. People, in a humane society, could not exist without laws. We would be like a pack of wild dogs.
  • I think we need more laws, not less. A law against writing like a three-year-old might be nice.
  • Think for a little while on all the laws that protect your health, your wellbeing, your freedom, your property and your loved ones. Then you'll understand.
  • We need laws. There are some that are totally wrong, and should be abolished, but without the good ones, everyone would be pretty much screwed. I'd be afraid to go to sleep at night. Bad people would take over the good. I wouldn't want to live in that world.
  • "Anarchists are those who advocate the absence of the state, arguing that common sense would allow for people to come together in agreement to form a functional society allowing for the participants to freely develop their own sense of morality, ethics or principled behaviour. The rise of anarchism as a philosophical movement occurred in the mid 19th century, with its notion of freedom as being based upon political and economic self-rule. This occurred alongside the rise of the nation-state and large-scale industrial capitalism, and the corruption that came with their successes. Although anarchists share a rejection of the state, they differ about economic arrangements and possible rules that would prevail in a stateless society, ranging from complete common ownership and distribution according to need, to supporters of private property and free market competition. For example, most forms of anarchism, such as that of anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism, or anarcho-primitivism not only seek rejection of the state, but also other systems which they perceive as authoritarian, which includes capitalism, wage labor, and private property. In opposition, another form known as anarcho-capitalism argues that a society without a state is a free market capitalist system that is voluntarist in nature. Most anarchists reject the claim that anarcho-capitalism is a form of anarchism as it is marked by authoritarian structures. The word "anarchy" is often used by non-anarchists as a pejorative term, intended to connote a lack of control and a negatively chaotic environment. Because of this, some activists have self-identified as libertarian socialists. In more recent times anti-authoritarian has offered another similar self-identification. However, anarchists still argue that anarchy does not imply nihilism, anomie, or the total absence of rules, but rather an anti-authoritarian society that is based on the spontaneous order of free individuals in autonomous communities, operating on principles of mutual aid, voluntary association, and direct action."
