Re: Somalia
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] So before when there were articles coming out describing how crappy Somalia was, Somalia wasn't considered a fair example of AC. But now that someone writes something positive, it is all of a sudden fair game? Sorry guys, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. [/ QUOTE ] So, no matter how prosperous a stateless Somolia becomes, it can't ever serve as an example of how ACism is workable in the real world? [/ QUOTE ] Can it serve as an example *right now*, or can't it? Pick one.

Re: Somalia
Assuming the statistics in that article are accurate, it would seem that it certainly could serve as an example that anarchism could be good for a society. But why do I have to pick now? I don't think that there is enough information.

Please post such evidence; it would be of interest to me.

Re: Somalia
adanthar,
My viewpoint is that if the article Boro linked to is accurate (and I have no reason to doubt its truthfulness), and the conditions in Somolia continue to improve in the absence of government, it would be powerful evidence that ACism can benefit a country. That is all. I can't really respond to you because you haven't really made a coherent point. I'd be glad to discuss this topic with you if choose to write intelligently about it.

[/ QUOTE ] One more time: is Somalia a good example *right now* or not? We can even assume that the article is accurate, as long as you allow everyone else to quote the 38757823785789279832 equally accurate articles that show how much of a hellhole the place is.
