By anarchy you mean lack of government-enforced order rather than simply lack of order, right?

- rayiner 14y agoThere is no practical distinction.
- erikpukinskis 14y agoSure there is. The interior of corporations have non-government-enforced order.
- Evbn 14y agoOf course there is. Taliban, Hezbollah, Mafia, etc originate as nongovernmental entities enforcing order.
- rayiner 14y agoI suppose it depends on how you define "lack of order." Nature abhors a vacuum. When there is no government imposed order the "lack of order" is the ascendency of entities like the Taliban, Somalian warlords, etc. To me this a "lack of order."
- jlgreco 14y agoHow do you define "nongovernmental"? I think an argument could be made that each of those are/where governments, although perhaps a little alien seeming to us.
- jivatmanx 14y agoThe Taliban was a government, and functions as a government in the areas in controls. Hezbollah has pratically all of the characteristics of a government in the area of Lebanon it controls. Also, it's also the most powerful political party in Lebanon.
