No you're not. "Getting rid of xxx billion people because I want more space" isn't a serious argument. And the Iceland question was thoroughly sincere on my part, since I wanted a discussion about an actual example of an anarchist society. As you claim to be an anarchist I was hoping for some arguments why you are, and some actual insight in the political theory behind the anarchism. Am I asking for too much?

I think generally speaking, a society should try to maximize the quality of life for those who live in it now and for the future, perhaps a bit similar to the utilitaristic ideal of maximizing happiness / minimizing suffering. I have slightly more detailed ideas on how to best achieve that long term, but none of them have included anarchy so far. A working anarchic system doesn't mean that people will be happy just like a working dictatorship in North Korea doesn't mean north koreans are happy and basically, I have little faith in anarchic systems getting the most of what I want from society in the long term.

Yes, me too. I keep saying "YES!!!", and then I read closer and I'm like... oh. Nevermind.
