Sympathy to Anarchism

Virtually everyone agrees that some form of control should exist in society, though the amount and method of practice vary widely. One way is through control, the other through individualistic responsibility.

Opponents of less government, and in more extreme forms anarchism, argue that the individual is inherently bad, and that laws must be in place to insure the safety of the community and its inhabitants.

But in reality, people do what they want to do. Most people follow basic and loose social rules, like trying to be a good person and not a dick.

Besides, if laws deterred crime, there would be no crime.

Laws don't deter crime, they promote criminals. There is no crime without a law.
