Anarchy When?
It seems to me the problem is not creating an anarchy; rather the problem is maintaining one. External (and internal) forces will always act to try to exert control and influence an anarchy. I feel this form of government may be inherently unstable, as all are. A group without clear leadership, methinks, will be slow to react to changes and these forces. This explains why there are no large-scale anarchies nor any long-standing examples. As with many things, it looks good on paper.

I believe maintaining an anarchy would be easy, so long as there are anarchists living in the anarchy. If statists live within the anarchy, they will attempt to change it back into a statist society. As long as the people living in anarchy are really anarchists, there can’t be any rulers over them, as they will resist such outside efforts down to the last man. Thus an anarchy composed of anarchists can never be conquered, only exterminated, as they won’t surrender. The key, then, in my opinion, for anarchy to be both established and maintained, is it needs to be made up of anarchists and taught to all succeeding generations.
This might sound good on paper, but it is the same indoctrinal method employed everywhere else—to create Statists, Communists, Socialists, Evangelists. It has not proven itself to work in the long run. There are always external forces. Just as the united States exerts all sorts of forces to bring “Democracy” to the rest of the world, they would disrupt another competing system on ideological grounds if it didn’t abide by its wishes. The US is not alone in its exertion of power over other people. More than this, there are different flavours of anarchy as well, so you would run into denominational issues. I for one would like to be left alone, which is why anarchy appeals to me. The problem is that my desire to be left alone does not control others desires to try to exert control.
