Hey, I'm new to Raddle and I've been scrolling around and I've seen a lot of things on anarchy and that sort of stuff. I obviously know what anarchy is and I've formed my opinions on it, however, it seems that this community has a different definition than what the media portrays. So if I could get a 2-3 sentence definition on what you guys think it is, I'd be happy to share my thoughts.
(Edit: Added everything below) Also, I should say something. I consider myself a Libertarian. I believe that the government, especially our current US one, needs to be limited and heavily regulated. I believe that all laws should reflect the three basic human rights: Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, and Property.
This does not mean I am an anarchist. I do not believe that society and morals should be torn down. I do believe that a well regulated government is to exist for the benefit of the governed. I believe that the federal government should only exist to protect the nation with the military, and to build roads, and to assist state and local government when needed. All other responsibilities should be passed on to the state and local governments.
Anyway, that's a pretty simplified way of putting it I guess, but that's me. Feel free to change my mind and I'll be happy to reply. And hey, even if you don't succeed in changing my mind, just know that I'm just as happy that I walked away with some new insight, or maybe we reached some common ground
