When we are young, we may be driven by a false certainty that undoing all injustice is possible, and would make the world a better place. Once we understand the present system and how many complex mechanisms to reduce violence and injustice it has, we hesitate to replace it.

the whole society. But I still consider the ideals of anarchism (for lacking a better word for it) valid and right. It is depressing that acting up on them almost always leads to utter failure (as the article so thoroughly points out).

It seems to be a question of incentives: without a centralized monopoly on violence, individual groups sooner or later discover that they stand to gain by using violence on others, and civilization falls apart. All working societies are built in the shadow of silent death stars

So the question remains: was tun? I still have hope that there's a way to live without a centralized monopoly on violence, but I seriously doubt that I will see that in my lifetime. On a bigger scale, one might have to think about the concepts of civilization and society.

People have thought hard about that question for many generations, and I am worried that their insights are mostly lost, because the political and social sciences have essentially decomposed into political cults. That's scary, because working societies are not built on ideology.
