PStarchild,
You have not contradicted anything I wrote. In fact, by paralleling government with anarchy, you seem to agree with me that it’s human nature rather than political structures that are responsible for both good and evil in the world.
As for the “spontaneous ordering of individuals”. Waiting for that to happen is like playing Russian roulette with human nature. If it happens, hopefully the motivations of the individuals are good and people benefit. Much more likely that selfish motivations are at work, and that great harm is the result.
Also, “freedom” of itself does not bring good or bad. It’s what people do with it that counts. Freedom only works within constraints: you cannot use your own freedom to limit that of others. How do you stop “spontaneous ordering” from doing just that?

Roy,
Statists frame anarchy as this scary external “chaos” to be opposed at all costs. But in reality, life is naturally chaotic and anarchies are just the spontaneous ordering of individuals. This can include great evil and great good because society is comprised of humans with this dual nature.
When left to their own devices rather than being managed by some centralized planning agency, the effect of people’s efforts can increase exponentially. This freedom is how the greatest human accomplishments are achieved, and is how all life progressed to its current levels of evolution before government.
By packaging “anarchy” as this alien force that undermines human society, statists are essentially refusing to allow the baby to have a bath, rejecting the great good that freedom can bring. We need that freedom to solve the many great problems society faces.
Love & Liberty,
