Misconception:
Anarchism = Chaos
  • Begs the question.

  • Anarchists contend that it is the State that creates chaos with wars, violations of rights, regulation of consentual human activity, and in short, interference in the natural harmonies of society.

  • Contra the statist bromide, anarchists think that larger populations make centralized control even more chaotic, destructive, and onerous. (E.g. communes vs. command economies.)
"Liberty is the mother,
not the daughter, of order."
