Thanks for that link @chrisowner. You might have seen in the comments above that I am struggling with the idea of anarchy. That article you sent me was very informative and challenged my thinking to some degree. I liked how it didn't shy away from the important question of warlords. One of my favourite quotes was: "The absence of a State is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to achieve the free society."

Still very interested to hear more about how people protect themselves and pursue issues of justice in an anarchist state.
