Well of course it would work -- in the sense that we wouldn't become extinct the next day or anything. Would all of mankind prosper? No. Most certainly not. There will always be cruel, indifferent, sadistic people. I think the police state we're ending up with today is worse than just about any alternative, but I think the cruel among us would have a field day in an anarchic social structure. Group boundaries, power and jurisdiction restrictions -- skirting all that would be a great game for them. As well as seeing how many people they could torture to death in a single night, I imagine...Yes, it would work; but no, I don't think it would be better than any other possible form of gov't. I'd take it over what America's turning into though, for whatever that's worth... and if people would just be fucking reasonable and let others choose their own lives, I think it would be a smashing success. But people aren't like that. People suck.
