I thought about this question when it comes to Anarchy.
How long would it take for majority to adapt to anarchy, that is start to follow rational non-aggresive principles. And majority of the destructive forces to be forced out of market by consumer choise?
That is if we were to start now?
Your post perpetuates a common misunderstanding of anarchic philosophy. Anarchy is NOT a system, it's a rejection of centralization, with all that implies.
Anarchy works, every day, everywhere, right now. You did not ask my permission to post this thread, nor did I seek yours to reply to it. In all of your interactions with people (aside from those who have given up their individuality to become drones... err, public officials) you are acting on your own authority and mostly respecting their right to do the same. Anarchy is the NATURAL STATE of human interaction.
