What are some modern day examples of anarchism?
For those who want an illustration of what happens when two ‘competing-governments’ are arguing with each other in the same geographical area, I give you the libertarian ideal: Bosnia. This is the result of the anarcho-capitalist’s ill-thought out nightmare: a species of collectivism, where one is subject to the whims of the tribe or gang in power. On a micro-level one can observe anarchism in black markets, where drug dealers compete with each other on the same “turf” to “protect” their interests. It is to subject “might” to “right”, that one requires rights, and that one requires a government to protect those rights. Suggested Reading: Excerpt on Anarchism from Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand “The Nature of Government”, published in Capitalism : The Unknown Ideal. I highly recommend Dr. Peikoff’s book Objectivism, particularly the chapter on Government, which provides an excellent discussion on this issue.
