...and another popular misconception about anarchy. Why would life degenerate into a hunter-gatherer sorta situation? Anarchy=no government, people can still trade. No property? Why wouldnt i own property? I'd just draw up a little happy face on a piece of paper, and stick it on a pole and call my house "iliaran-land".you have to drink and eat things you make yourselve, you have no property
...and culture cant just disappear (the question of what culture IS is worthy of a thread all by itself...but ill leave it at that for now). Thousands of years of 'culture' wont simply vanish. Sure our lifestyles will change should the world ever degenereate into a situation of total anarchy, but we'd still be able to maintain our own cultures.
