Especially dictatorship for some strange reason.  I would not be surprised to see anarchy turn into total anarchy though...

Well, anarchy means without leader, it doesn't mean without order.

His point is that a stable anarchy is not possible because someone will seize power as soon as there is a vaccum. And since there's no government, that person will have as much power as they can exert with whatever weapons they have.
 
Unless you are an anarchist, in which case it's perfect, just like Somalia. ;-)

Anarchism believes in human nature more than it has to be i think. I vote to communism. In the end what they aim for social order is very close but in communism you need an evoluation period for changing social structure. Anarchism is like a river has no foreseable path to go. Communism also has a good structured theory open to progress. There are new forms of Marxist theories developed considering the recent developments and social experiences. While considering the USSR dissappointment you must also consider the pain and failures caused by capitalism and as a result imperialism. It's a loop of failures again and again makes people suffer. We are still one of the many other crisis now, apart from local ones. Many people loosing their future, many of them even didn't have a future. Either you call it communism or another better pathway to be developed best way is a human centered well theorized governing structure which is away from leadership of someone or a group of people and capital.

Anarchy. Unlike communism and dictatorship, so far nobody ever tried it in practice, so let's be bold and PROGRESSIVE... Big smile

Actually there are succesful anarchism experiments of small communities in the world like Whiteaway Colony in Gloucestershire and many other short existed. But big scale examples seems to took part in times of disorder or revolution.

Any successful society will have to have balances of social and individual needs. Capitalism does not balance these needs well in its current evolved state.

We need a more stacked social structure where there are more social group supports outside the nuclear family and commercial entities. Not to eliminate them, but to fill things out. Living nearby extended family, neighborhood responsibilities, these things need to be more the norm.

A combination of laissez-faire socialism and volunteerism for a society to flourish. Some transactions can be formalized, but we'd all be better if most of our lives were outside the confines of formal monetary exchange.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

By the way, did you mean to put non-democratic in the title because not capitalist doesnt necessarily mean not a democracy
 
Only someone that hasn't experienced such terror can say something like that. I agree on the second sentence though.
 
Why do I get the feel that some people think that non liberalism  isautomatically bad?? I mean , you are putting three bad systems as an alternative. Capitalism wont last forever , it's been with us in it's modern form for just 125 years which is nothing in terms of history. Sure , it's been building up more or less since the fall of the Western Roman Empire but other alternatives will be found. However , a catasthrophe has to happen for it to dissapear.
I guess there is no turning back from capitalism , it was just natural for it to rule our lives due to the constant technical innovation society mades ( and greed of course)
 
 
I speak from a Country who has live must of it's independent life under dictatorship... is much better that those two options... Liberalism is quite well... the wrong this are the people that do not understand it and the leaders who don't believe in more ideology but what they have in their pucket... that's it...!!!
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

I'd vote Socialism if it were there, the closest is Communism. Anarchy might be interesting but I don't know how that would work out.

Winkso can capitalism check out all those governments the USA supported during the cold war, some of them were real tyrants.
Our government in NZ has been ignoring us, over 80% of NZers are aginst the anti-smacking law against parents and we've had landslide referendum and still the government has ignored us. The PM has said he will scrutenize police actions and that goes against separation of powers.
Look at also how all the big companies are controlling America,.
All are dictatorships. There's no such thing as a true democracy, look at the EU now.
