i guess you agree with me then, because i think if 1 country were to go anarchistic (and they are surrounded by state-run governments), an external force (neighboring country) would come in and invade them.. which has happened in the past. i don't think just arming every man and woman with a gun is going to get the job done.

Well, I suppose it depends on the situation. Sorry in advance for the following scenario, I know it will be offensive, but sadly it seems to me to be how things work:

If we're talking about a third world country most people never heard about and have nearly no contact with, that were to try this, I suppose external forces would have an easy time directing the propaganda to paint them as a target, for whatever reason. And unfortunately, some people would probably protest against it, but to no avail.

Now imagine a relatively rich country were to try this, say Iceland. I have a hard time imagining propaganda would work so well in this case, particularly if the transition to anarchy was a relatively peaceful one to begin with. Then again, this may be a little overly optimistic.  Roll Eyes
