I recall you claiming that. I also recall me not getting any valid argument for why.
Less people means less toes to step on.

Could you at least try to take this discussion seriously?

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.

Christiania isn't really an anarchy, it's an enclave at best. Anyway, you should forward that to OccultHawk.
