Well, if you think that's anarchy, that might explain some
of the other things you said about it.

anarchism n. political theory that all government and laws should be
abolished.

That's from the Pocket Oxford Dictionary. I really think
you're wrong to suggest that anarchism is just another
political meme. Of course it *can* be treated that way --
"political theory" in that defn, for instance -- but "the
real thing" (anarchy as opp. <anarchy>) would mean the end
of politics.
