Switzerland has a degree of direct democracy ... they vote on the
   budget

   No state system could satisfy anything i desire for too many reasons
   but i just want others to understand there is a long standing > 1700's
   > system that develops forms of direct democracy

   Not all anarchists think dd is anarchy but that just means they dont
   understand its conceptual history

   Maybe they dont understand anarchy at all really

   Assange has said he is a libertarian wonder if he still after all these
   embassy prison years thinks its viable esp now with no intertubes in
   prison

   The issue I'm having reading this thread about the US Erections is this
   list is ostensibly Anarchist and I don't understand why it's infested
   almost exclusively by Libertarians. Libertarians CANNOT be Anarchist
   ...
   because they believe in government. Small, but they BELIEVE that the US
   political system actually works in the interest of the people, or it
   can
   be made so.
   Not exactly, There are "anarchist libertarians" and "minarchist
   libertarians".  I was one of the latter, before 1995 when I
   discovered/invented my AP system.   Afterwards, I realized not only
   that having no government was possible, it was essentially inevitable.
   Note:  It is, strictly speaking, incorrect to say:  "Libertarians
   CANNOT be Anarchist ...because they believe in government."
   Libertarians believe in a certain set of limits to people's
   relationships and interactions with other people.  A Libertarian may
   believe that a small government is tolerable, and maybe still
   necessary; other libertarians may believe that a stable anarchy is
   possible.  (As I now do.)
