Being an anarchist is like being the prisoner who Plato writes about in his Allegory of the Cave. Once a person has seen the sun, or rather how ideal anarchy is, they are not often welcomed by the people who are still living in the dark, or rather under a governmental system. Even so, Thomas Jefferson claimed, "A little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
The world needs anarchists, if only to provide ideas for a more liberated existance. What has kept anarchy from being a more prominent force in the world? Perhaps it requires something that we as a society are not yet ready to commit to: personal responsibility. Anarchy requires every person to take responsibility for his own actions. We would have to rid ourselves of a lot of our destructive tendencies: excessive greed, violence, and hatred. Anarchy requires that the individual live his life without infringing upon others, something hard for anyone.
this is the best description of the source of the problems of the modern world, that i have ever come across
