RE: Ex London Mayor Calls For Cities To Run The World
We've had a World run by City-States before. The result was war as the City-State Governments wanted more power and territory. We may not have war this time around but there will be those who manipulate the City-State system and it's likely they'll encourage Federations of City-States. And then we go back to where we are now, with larger groups of politicians running everything and the public being pretty much ignored.
Whatever route you choose you will come back to what we have now, you see the major flaw with the anachist theory is that people don't want to have face life by themselves, they want and need for someone to take care of their problems and are willing to pay taxes for this. So you can have whatever society you can come up with, when it gets a certain size it will demand a government, regardless of whatever flaws this government has.
That's a good point. Some people could handle an anarchist society and take care of their own lives but many people wouldn't be able to handle that. It seems part of the human condition (for some more than others) is to want a leader to follow that makes a person feel "safe" and taken care of. A lot of us dream of a totally free society but will humans as a whole be able to deal with that? I fear there will always be some sort of Government around due to how people just are.
