There is a common misrepresentation out there that defines the word "anarchy" as total chaos, with people running around and killing each other and stealing, buildings on fire, etc., etc. This is not its true definition. Anarchy is actually very community oriented (ironically enough). It is about brotherhood, and helping each other, and HARMONY. As an anarchist, I felt it was my duty to sort this out.

It is very true that anarchy does not mean total chaos, but it also doesn't mean that people work together. It is simply the absence of a political structure, no government or anything. It could be chaos, or it could be utopia. It is not focused on anything.
i agree that there is a grossly negative connotation on the word 'anarchy', and that there are several 'peaceful' anarchist groups out there, but the fact is is that connotation or not does not take away from the fact that its aim as an anti-establishment establishment will not work in current circumstances as a political practice.
the problem with anarchy is with the total lack of a government structure we would ether revert back to the barter system, with its necisity for dual coincidence of wants, a valuble monetary system, which would fall prey to counterfiters, shaving, and the law that bad money drives out the good money, as opposed to feit money that works the best. If this happens then with no law of buisness ethics large corporations would form into total monopolys with their own private forces and would essentially change from an anarchy to a buisness aristocracy, effectivly terminating the whole concept to begin with. Theres a reason that our country is the way it is, it is quite simply the best way we know how to run our country, the way that satisfies the most of our unlimited wants and the way that ensures the greatest advancement of our race.
