I was. Then someone decided that they wanted to leave out the fact that anarchy does, in fact, handle wrong-doings in a certain way. Anarchy and a utopia are not the same thing because a utopia assumes that wrong-doings do not happen. In anarchy, they do, and that is when the system breaks down into chaos, which is why anarchy is represented in a specific way that most people do respresent it in - horrible. In a utopia, there isn't a justice system, because it isn't needed. In anarchy, there isn't a justice system because it's government, and anarchy is the lack of government and everything that it includes and entails. Which means that if guy A kills guy B because guy B is cheating with guy A's wife, that's OK. And if someone decides it's not OK, then they can apply whatever "justice" they choose to guy A, and that's OK too, because to apply any rules on what guy C is allowed or not allowed to do to guy A would be to create a justice system of a sort, which cannot be applied because that is in itself government.

Actually, you're mistaken. Real anarchy is an utopia, exactly because of what you say, because wrong-doings simply wouldn't happen. It's in the essence of "doing the right thing because you understand that's the best." If wrong-doings happened, it already wouldn't be an anarchy in the first place.

In the same way that others come here to talk about consoles or League of Legends? At least people are discussing some interesting stuff instead of that crap. I rather waste my time here than roam around the other threads and see the typical dick measuring between the same old *****s.

Actually, you're mistaken, for a second time. Anarchy is the lack of government, leadership, organization, etc. Do you know what the actual definition of "government" is? I'm seriously asking this because it's rather clear that you don't understand what the definition of anarchy is.
I'll break it down to make it easier to understand, I guess.
gov·ern·ment
ˈɡəvər(n)mənt/
noun
noun: government; plural noun: governments
1.
the governing body of a nation, state, or community.
"governing"
Means "to be governed", right? So then, what does "govern" mean?
gov·ern
ˈɡəvərn/
verb
verb: govern; 3rd person present: governs; past tense: governed; past participle: governed; gerund or present participle: governing
1.
- conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people).
"he was incapable of governing the country"
synonyms: rule, preside over, reign over, control, be in charge of, command, lead, dominate; More
- control, influence, or regulate (a person, action, or course of events).
"the future of Jamaica will be governed by geography, not history"
synonyms: determine, decide, control, regulate, direct, rule, dictate, shape; More
- conduct oneself, especially with regard to controlling one's emotions.
"men would give in to passion and become unable to govern themselves"
- serve to decide (a legal case).
Anarchy = the lack of government, leardership, organization.
Government being the person or group of people that govern a larger group of people, yes?
Govern means, as displayed above, to apply any form of control, influence, regulation or system of any kind.
This is where people confuse "anarchy" with "utopia".
Utopia is where people do what is in the best interest of the people around them, and they don't need to be told to because they already know what they should do. Because there's a regulation of it. There is a system. Utopia, in itself, is a government. Which automatically means that it is NOT anarchy.
Anarchy is where people go and do whatever the hell they want because there is no system, regulation or directions that indicate what they should or should not do. You can hope that people generally know what they should or should not do, but that is only a hope and irrelevant because people are not, by default, forgiving and kind creatures - but as stated, irrelevant because there are no governing (see the term I used here?) rules, guidelines or systems to indicate what a person should or should not do. Just like there isn't any such system to indicate what is right or wrong, what other people should think about when thinking of what someone did is right or wrong, or if there should or should not be any punishment applied if when someone decides that someone else did something wrong. The moment you try to apply any sort of method, regulation, system, directions, etc., you are GOVERNING. Which is against what anarchy stands for.
Anarchy is an oxymoron. It is a rule that states that there are no rules, which means if it is to follow its own rule, then it cannot exist because there are no rules.
The fact that there are people trying to argue for it in the first place is absurd, much less people trying to tell me that I'm "misrepresenting it". Honestly, I'd be more inclined to believe that this was a language barrier issue, and the meaning of the words were lost in translation or something, than I am to believe that someone who doesn't natively speak English when they try to tell me I don't understand what the word "anarchy" means, or what its underlying greek and latin derivatives are.
People who are using it to represent a "new world order" sort of thing are being misleading at best.

I'll just leave this at I read more about anarchy than just a dictionary definition...

Try reading about the anarchic school of thought called "mutualism."
Field Medic Moderator
"mutualism" is a system, and thus by itself not properly represented by the term "anarchy".
The whole "anarchy" movement that people have been referencing is just as much properly represented by it's name as Scientology represents the cult who uses the word as it's name (and in case you didn't know, "scientology" means "the study of science").

Ok, now go read on mutualism.
Banned
Mutualism (biology), symbiotic interaction between different species that is mutually beneficial
Mutualism (economic theory), an economic theory created by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon based on the labor theory of value
Mutualism (movement), a politically neutral movement that aims at creating and promoting mutual organizations, insurances, and other funds
Movement means that terms are automatically applied. Therefore, it can't be applied under this discussion.
An economic theory is filled with rules. Therefore, it also can't be applied under this discussion.
Biology is nothing more than a theory that can't be translated into acts.Edited: December 22, 2016
