Is it possible to live without a government?
The answer, according to Larken Rose, is a resounding yes. Larken is an author, filmmaker, and arguably one of the most prominent voices in anarchist thought. By 'anarchy' he doesn't mean chaos, which is what most people assume the word means. He means 'no government', and his arguments centre on the idea that belief in government is a dangerous superstition.
Basically: why do people believe that governments should govern us? Why can't we govern ourselves?
