It goes without saying that someone creating a marketplace to fund political assassination probably has a few screws loose. The feds only convicted him for tax fraud apparently. They must not have had much if that's all they could convict him on considering they win 95% of their cases.
I give you that! One must have courage to try something like that and expect not being caught or being able to perform more than a few of those "contracts".
But we also can't forget that the guy was a guy with knowledge in the cryptography field, so he should probably be good hiding behind the computer an be safe during such operations.
How else could anarchism operate but for chaos?
I unerstand what you mean and I can accept that the general idea of anarchism is pure chaos. But I think we should also contextualise "chaos". Like, I can say that in a pure anarchist society, if I went to a shop, took something and I was not feeling in the mood for paying, I coul create some chaos, fire some bullets from a gun, and with luck, I could get away with it.
I think this is the generic idea that people have about chaos in anarchism. Or that if I'm not happy with some situation, I simply start a riot out of nowhere! Ok, I can admit this could also fit in anarchism in an extreme sense of the ideology.
However, anarchism, can also be seen from a "perfect" point of view and we could say that anarchism means that people could rule their lives without the intervention of a state figure or governments or whatever. Definition of anarchism is a bit of this too. Voluntary cooperation and direct action.
Humans are inherently chaotic but for basic civil structure. Would anarchism not do away with civil structures (ie government)? I'm interested in your view.
I'm not sure I understand your question.
Are you asking how could an anarchist society live without governemental structures? Such as the multiple ministry departments we have?
