(Do you mind if I ask you occasional questions? If you want me to stop, just let me know. :) )
So here's my fundamental question about anarchism... The whole idea is "no authority", right? But then how do you deal with people who actually want to assert authority over others? Suppose someone actually wants to set themselves up with a little fascist dictatorship, and they have a few friends willing to help them. Given a few determined, ruthless people, I'm not sure how any system without an authority can resist the warping that's going to occur. Or am I missing something?
