    Also an anarchist. People in the US (and in most places) aren't ready for the government to collapse on them. Not in the sense that they're "not evolved enough" or anything like that, just that there's work that would need to be done that mostly hasn't been done yet.

    The state is an exploitative organization, but it does perform some legitimate functions that people rely on. Anarchists have ideas on how to replace those functions, but it's ideally the sort of thing you prepare well in advance, rather than throwing together in a panic at the last minute. A slow decline would be preferable.

      I'm of the opinion is only through shocks or actual crisis that you'll see that sort of organization. You either have folks gearing for a civil war like the Spanish anarchists or you develop something because it's obvious the system is fundamentally broken (zapatistas, though they're not quite anarchist). I'm not an anarchist though, just a demsoc.
