Congruency of world view is unnecessary if coercion becomes difficult or impossible. If people can move and communicate and trade in spite of the desire of some others to prevent those exchanges, then they exist in a mutual state of anarchy without regard to their mutual opinions.
Nobody said congruencly of world view was a requirement. Looking at it like this is actually incorrect. The issue is NOT congruency (hence proving my socialist/fascist point prima facia) but rather TOLERANCE of existing world views. Without some mechanism to control the violence and inherent xenophobia of human psychology being able to 'move around unhindered' becomes THE problem. Anarchy would be the Jews and the Arabs going at it without the UN and other mediating forces. This is a PERFECT example of why anarchy requires a 'socialist' world view to begin with. Anarchy would be 7 prisoners loose in Texas, who've already killed at least one policeman and commited several robberies, with no police force or centralized C4I mechanisms. Anarchy = "Don't worry, be happy!" ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
