Well said. In a sense, what I was saying is that we are living in
anarchy right now. It's just that
'those-group-of-people-who-armed-themselves' have taken over everything
in the intervening 6-10,000 yrs. But as YakWax pointed out in a recent
post, if we can achieve true anarchy today, we are better equipped to
sustain it than previous generations.

I'll just say here, that although phones were available they were not
widespread. It wasn't until after WWII that phones saturated the middle
and lower income households. Yes, they didn't have mainstream media (a
blessing in many ways), but a necessary evil I think, in order to reach
a wide-enough audience sufficient to take on Rockefeller...
I have learned a lot on this thread from yourself and others. Your
arguments have been appreciated! Thanks.
