Wow, Art...I knew that we disagreed politically, but I don't think we could be further apart, on the political scale.
1. I don't see Libertarianism as anarchistic. I see it more as taking on, and encouraging, personal responsiblity.
2. While anarchy may be a given in the state of nature, I beleive that we, as human beings, have risen above that. Granted, we may not be finished evolving, but I think that, as a whole, we create our own order.
3. I also disagree that the only way humans are civilized is by fear. I think that humans are driven to civilization by a collective need for culture and education. Satisfy those two needs, and you have...civilization.
What you are describing sounds more, to me, like a prison system. There will always be those that cannot, or simply refuse to, follow basic agreed upon rules for civilized life. These are the ones that we lock away, to live their lives under your "systems of control for optimum social operation".
