Despite popular belief, Anarchy does not breed chaos, theft and violence. On the contrary, those would be the dealings of capitalism. Does not our current government see these things, are they not problems already. Would you steal from a fellow man if there was no institution to which the need was fuelled? Capitalism is what causes greed, and to get rid of capitalism would be to get rid of greed. There would be no reason to rob a bank if there was no monetary system. Anarchy professes the need to get rid of all institutions, bureaucracies, and authorities. Does this not include the system of currencies and bartering? In this ideology, people voluntarily work for the good of themselves, and their community. There would be no reason to kill, and no reason to steal. Secondly, although the abolition of government means that there are no more judicial laws, it does not mean that each individual now must ignore their morals. Anarchism stands for a form of voluntary socialism, in which an organic, and truly democratic, community forms. This replaces the tyranny of representative democracy and in its place creates a forum in which everyone is accounted for. In such a community, there is no chaos, and it is not every man for themselves as people most commonly believe. Finally, if Anarchy did cause chaos, then would that not contradict the very idea of anarchy, freedom? If rule of the jungle did apply, then people, the majority of people, would be oppressed, and that is not what anarchy is about. That would be capitalism. Thus, anarchism is not the source of disorder; it is the creator of peacefulness and order.
