I red "Anarchie!" by Horst Stowasser in college and was quite fascinated by the ideas, leading me to read a few others, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman and such. I'm not good at retaining quotes in my memory, usually just the idea or what I make of it. Over the years, even though I still try to implement some of the ideals in my life and the business I run, I've grown frustrated with the world about it.

It seems like a great utopia, something to maintain as an ideal, that will never be more. As I see values being replaced by egoism, the chances of Anarchism to work grow slimmer. Hence my question about the constraint and unconstrained vision and where anarchism fits. I'm not sure if there's a way to get people into the right space to live without a government again, to be capable of sustaining anarchism. So many people have been made dependent, and the ongoing pampering (I know, paraphrasing Thatcher! But I hope it's okay given Sowell and Rand...) is just making them more dependent on the state.

Meaning, I've kind of given up on it. Just trying to sneak it in wherever I can, building my community, in the way that I lead my little bakery, the way I raise my child.

Do you see a way towards a more anarchistic society?
