I dont really understand anarchy but a guy I work with says he is an anarchist but told me today he doesn't own a gun. Is that normal. It just seems odd to me that someone who Hope's for a lawless world wouldn't have anyway to protect his family.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Being an anarchist only sounds good if you have never experienced it. Perhaps his plan is to cower before the toughest dude in the neighborhood and pledge his allegiance because that's the only way he would survive.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Anarchists believe in a system, not a future. Ask the guy at work what he would have as the outcome of his envisioned anarchy? But don't be surprised if he isn't specific. Most anarchists fight for a cause, not a plan on the back end. They are now calling the American revolutionaries "anarchists," but that isn't accurate because "anarchy" means you believe that no governing body is the way society rules itself, and the colonials wanted to establish their own governance free from Great Britain. The colonials were certainly not anarchists.

Anarchists are all about destroying the existing government in order to establish the government they want, usually one with them in charge. No successful anarchist remains an anarchist. True! Our little church has a missionary we try to sponsor in Liberia- read that countries history and it will spell out the problem with anarchy and remaining an anarchist for long.
As a concept, it is every bit as flawed as socialism in a country bountiful in recourses like Venezuela who's citizens went from wealthy to hijacking trucks full of spam and red beans in less than a decade

I think there are many different forms of Anarchism and you really need to ask a lot of questions before you understand exactly what somebody means when they are talking about their type of Anarchism. It seems that some Anarchists are only for the complete elimination of any societal order and want to institute a condition of chaos. But those types are usually young fools.
Other types of Anarchists oppose a central government and favor order by voluntary, local participation over a central authority governing by force. I think they imagine something like the old Greek, city-states. Or, maybe like American Indian tribes and cultures before the European discovery of the "new world".
Anyway, not all Anarchists wish to see a state of total chaos. I think they just want societal order accomplished by a different means. I never bothered to think much about whether they are right or wrong, or the consequences of their beliefs. I just know that sometimes we don't fully understand what Anarchists really think until we really explore what they are talking about.

I'm hearing and reading more about these people. Most, if not all, are clueless. It's just the current cool thing to be. yup they are disgusted with Dems and Reps but rather than choosing another option or putting effort into starting their own. they Declare themselves Anarchists they are against all! while all they really do is show up on time enough and work enough to keep their job so that they can keep living in the capitalist world and afford a case of beer , a bottle and a fish fry or pizza out with their wife or girl friend. never stopping to think that anarchy would ruin all those things. reminds me some of the Nihilist in the Big Lebowski ni·hil·ist /ˈnīələst,ˈnēəlist,ˈnihilist/ Learn to pronounce noun a person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles. "it is impossible to argue against a nihilist" HISTORICAL a supporter of an extreme Russian revolutionary party c. 1900 which found nothing to approve of in the established social order.

it also generally reminds me of a story
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
The story may be confusing but the message is clear: no one took responsibility so nothing got accomplished.
