Anarchism versus Stability
What I personally feel, is that as someone who strongly believed in anarchism against all other ideologies, especially with high regard for Noam Chomsky’s vision. Is that the simple basic component of society, the family, or the commune, or the village of Ghandi’s vision. What we are individuals hold dear and have immediate relationships with throughout most of our lives. It is this model of life and existence, this model of micro society, that we fear is not represented in the macro society and state of other ideologies that propose a use for a state, or a concentration of power.
Now in a family, amongst a group of friends, a commune or village, there is a concentration of power… yet its miniscule, cause the absolute power of the entire thing, family, group, commune and village, is pretty miniscule. Yet, there are some RULES, some boundaries, some attitudes and respects, that are subtle but all the more vital that keep it stable and a nurture of peaceful growth. On the Macro scale of State Ideologies, such things are forgotton largely. As they are not immediately seen, as is the previous micro comparisons. Where is Love in a Family, where is Love in a State over a Society? A state, that recognises such things, will undoubtedly recognise such subtle rulings and conventions, subtle relationships that make it more appealing and less threatening.

I know this is a work in progress, but I think life all starts from the home and the family. I think society is failing because those family realtionships are failing, and failing badly. And in my experience, if the family structure is not stable, you lose faith in any kind of relationship. Unfortunately the state, society, whatever, is in turmoil because we are in turmoil.In terms of a leader, he is the "father" so to speak,and unfortulatey, this father is coming home drunk, beating his children, and taking orders from others.
