Which means we doom ourselves at some point in the future. Even if we continued in anarchy for millions of years eventually our planet and sun are going to die out. Without the progress of our current systems we'd have no chance of making it to the stars and becoming a semi immortal race (spreading ourselves so far that one branch or another of humanity would survive).

I'm with you in the short term, anarchy would be great. I'd love to make people responsible for their actions, but I'd loathe to raise kids in such an environment. And I see no long, long term future for humanity.

It isn't my intention to belittle your beliefs but I remember feeling a very similar way when I was about 16, had an affinity toward dark clothing, listened mostly to black/death metal and had a subscription to Adbusters magazine. Surely anything is possible if everyone believed in exactly the same way but do you honestly believe this will/could ever happen? Is such an unlikely event worthy of looking forward to?
