Anarcho-Bicyclist Conference Manchester April 2011

I can't wade through all that Mr Skull has said, but I found the observations about Egypt informative. Do you think that the sort of spontaneous order, that prevailed when publicly-minded militias seem to have condensed from nothing like bubbles in a fizzy drink, suggests that anarchism -statelessness - is immediately questioned when people will some order to exist in ad hoc ways - such as there in Egypt, or in the traffic-light example - that people desire order over 'chaos' so that statelessness can't really persist?

I don't really get that impression; isn't it more that given the opportunity, ordinary people demonstrate that systems of command and control are not neccessary for the smooth running of society - but are rather only a requirement if that society is run coercively in the interests of a minority? Don't conflate the idea of state with that of society - the latter is necessary, the former is probably just some made up bullshit.
