Anarchy is the meaning for No goverment. That is what every Anarchiest wants. It is not a Arvil Lavigne sign she sucks and shes not punker.

Literally, society without government. Initially, it would likely be chaotic, and violent, but may stabilize into a safe system eventually. All this is hypothetical, because there's been no long lasting, large scale example to draw precident from.

A thing which, even if it were desirable, would be impossible. There will always be a group of people who are willing to organise themselves and fight for government. They will either kick our asses into submission to a worse from of government, or we will have to organise ourselves, and fight back, meaning that when the conflict is over we'll be left with a government which we'll probably end up keeping by choice, or they'll decide they like having power an force us into it.
Government is no different to anarchy, because government is, in rrality, just a group of people imposing their will on us, so any type of organisation will evolve into a government.

Anarchy is a theoretical form of self-government which is practically unattainable. Historically Anarchy only exists between the shifts between other known forms of government, and it is in fact no government. There are two types of Anarchists: punk rockers, and romantic political philosophers.
The main argument of anarchistic thought is that any appointed, hereditary, or aristocratic government is coersive in nature, and coersion is intrinsically evil. Therefore, all government is inherently evil. The only solution to eliminate coersion in society is to live in the state of anarchy.
The main flaw of this argument is that in order to completely eliminate coersion even in a system of direct democracy there cannot be majority rule, that is the whole society has to unanimously agree on all issues. This is not a practical solution, but a theoretical state of perfect unanimity which is an extreme condition only possible in theory, an utopia.

A state under Anarchy is either a state ruled completely and unanimously by all the people for the people, or a state in civil war.

Ok, for the last and final time, this is the ONE true definition of Anarchy.
There is no gouvernment and people work together with no ruling class to share the benifits of each other's labor and to live in a way that you see fit which is not supressed by any form of gouvernment. Anarchy is not Avril. It is not a trend or fad. It is a form of gouvernment that could work.
Anarchy = chaos is NOT true and is a COMPLETE misinterperetation.
Anarchy is a society where people work together without being told what to do. there would not be killing or chaos, because you can just throw out -or execute- those certain people. People would not band together to form another gouvernment like some poser/preps believe. If they tried that, the society would ignore them and it would be unsuccessful. All you posers out there that believe that Anarchy is chaos will be the first to be eliminated from society.

Anarchy does not mean "crimes," because how can there be "crimes" if there is no gouvernment to define what a "crime" is?!?!

The idea that the perfect society would be a society without government. Contrary to popular belief it is not synonymous with chaos.
Despite many anarchists pleas to "give it a chance" what they fail to realize is that we already have, long before civilization as we know it was created we lived in could be best described as a state of anarchy. As we can see no, however, we have clearly developed away from such a society, as is natural. The only way to prevent such a natural shift to occur would be to create rules, which would not be anarchy.
