As for the anarchism = no government thingy, that is...well...half true.

[/ QUOTE ]Anarchists have come to power, in History. in 1848, in Paris, France, also in 1937, in areas of Spain, etc. They have never abolished all government. They were anarchists, not fans of Jesse James. (Though some anarchists were ex-bandits.)

Yeah this is pretty much what I meant. What seems to trouble most anarchists about a government isn't that it is a government, but how it governs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then they are not anarchists! No government is what the damned word means!

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it means no compulsory government, it doesn't mean no government. And it means no permanent authority, not no authority.

ACism otoh tends to hold an absolute 'no government' view.
