    Anarchists always seem to ignore the fact that out of the plethora of governmental forms that have been tested by various human civilisations throughout the millennia, anarchism is not one that has ever survived prolonged contact with other civilisations with a different form of government.

        They did? They said that about a governmental form that was documented as 2000 years old at the time, and which has been used in some shape or form by some human civilisation for as long as we have had civilisation?

          Yes, you didn’t know that? They were heavily influenced by Plato and Aristotle, who were strongly anti-democracy. It was widely regarded as an idea that had been tried and failed.
