Anarchism

I don't mean to offend anyone here. But I cannot understand the logic behind anarchism. Anarchism will revert society back to where it stands in places like Somalia-the strong control the weak, warlords hire technicals to slaughter children liviing in an enemy warlord's territory, solely to boost their own image...
Without corporations and government, food, shelter, and clothing will no longer be readily available without a fight, and if obtained, is not processed by any standards of safety and may not be what one thinks it is at all. Oh and music and movies and entertainment? Gone.

I often hear anarchists say people will be "equal". But it's not government that institutes classes such as middle or working class. It's the worthiness of people and what the strong, cunning, or determined, regardless of being benevolent or evil, are willing to do.

Democracy's criticized methods of not representing the people effectively can be solved by amendments, by policy changes, by more frequent elections, but one thing is for sure, and that is anarchism is not the answer.
