What we do know from this case is the effect of removing government control/planning and freeing individuals on a large basis.

So we *can* refute this part. Gotcha. Okay:

1)What government control? Was Somalia's government ever anything more than half assed?

2)Freeing individuals in what way? They're still in a clan system employed by and dependent upon any one of a thousand warlords. Is this neo-feudalism a good example of anarchy, then?

Further, no one ever said Somalia is not a [censored] hole. All they said was they were better off without government than with. Why dont you or anyone else try and dispute a point on this line?

Can we refute this without people claiming that Somalia doesn't count? Yes or no?
