s/lansky:
anarchy/anarchism--not the same.
anarchism is a political movement geared toward instituting forms of collective self-organization.
anarchy is a state characterized by the absence of order.
the two terms are not interchangeable.
they resemble each other, but only superficially.
if you want to argue against what anarchists propose as an alternative form of self-regulation, then fine, but it would help your position if you got the basic terminology straight and gave at least some indication that you were actually informed before you did.
as for my post you quote out of context in a way that indicates to me that you did not read it carefully and so did not understand what the argument was---so in a manner i have come to expect from conservatives, you substitute what you want to see (we call that a straw man) and then go after that, kind of.
everyone has pet peeves.
one of mine is superficiality.
just saying.
