That's the idea.

Agreed.
The basis of Anarchy is the idea that everyone's a good person, and that everyone would treat each other fairly, etc, given the chance of no government. Which we know is shit. There are leaders and there are people who follow. Anarchy is just a bunch of chaos, and it's what naive idiots spew when they think they know what they're talking about. And what 12-year-old kids doodle on their notebooks, because they think Anarchy will allow them to do anything they want-- they just don't know that it'd allow people to shoot them in the street for their shoes without any way of justice-- no police to help, no detectives. Just a bunch of people with guns.

Basically. I mean, think of it like this... we attacked Iraq and now all of Iraq hates us right? If we say we're American they automatically assume that we allowed this shit to happen, and therefore supported what's going on-- even though they were in the same situation as well (where Saddam was a control freak and no one could say otherwise). What he did, shouldn't reflect on the people, but that's how people are, we judge each other unfairly.

Total anarchy is a really bad idea.

However, we could still use a good ol' American "French Revolution." McCain, Obama... What difference does it make? They're both corrupt monsters. I wouldn't mind seeing the heads of a few aristos roll, just to get the message across.

What sucked about the French Revolution was that it was Mob Rule. There wasn't anything to keep order. If someone could raise a mob to kill you, friend, you're gone.

French Revolution? I think I should know more about that considering I have a history test tomorrow. >_>

I really don't know anyone who would seriously believe anarchy is a good idea.

You really have no place to say that, as president, either one of them will be corrupt. What message would you be bringing by beheading the presidential candidates? "Don't be corrupt"?

Regardless of who somebody is, there will be a person accusing them of being corrupt.

I doubt it will ever happen. The US has got a LONG way to go before it gets to a point of revolution.

People are already losing their homes at an alarming rate, if the economy crashes the chances of a revolution rise greatly but yes, it probably still will be a while. Maybe this is why the US Army now has batallions being trained to `handle`it`s own citizens.

A batallion was placed on reserve for this reason already, on Oct 1st. Of course they cited it was for `emergencies like hurricanes etc..` what a load of BS IMO.

Ratchetcomand

Good point, but if it does happen then we will be screwed for sure.

I believe a Revolution in the US is inevitable and will be the best thing that ever happened to the world. Because the families that own the Federal Reserve basically own the government and more and more of the economy...The US is in un-payable debt to them and they just keep borrowing over and over. Something`s gotta give eventually.

Ivan

Don't think that a revolution is going to automatically end up and a wonderful resolution that makes everyone happy. America isn't loved 'round the world and doing anything to destabilize our government would leave us pretty vulnerable to attack from another country.

With the technology we have today people should be able to work 3 days a week and retire at 45. Instead, people are working 3 jobs sleeping 4 hours a night, going bankrupt and losing their homes.

America would be vulnerable, but I believe while the government falls, the military will stand; as its basic principles are duty, loyalty, discipline etc.. The largest military in the world will be able to protect and run the country until a new government is established.

Dupe of USSJed

The problem with that, is that the Chinese who work 7 days a week and retire at 100 would then walk all over you.

What do you mean by 'walk all over you' ? Whether you score it by economy, population, GDP, China will soon surpass the US in all of these. Working people to death is not going to hold off the Chinese and their massive population/spending budget (they spend money they actually have to begin with).
