Just sayin'...do we really care? If you're an asshole to someone, then you're an asshole. It doesn't really lend itself to caveats. It's like playing a hockey game, having a bad game and then saying "Well I was playing on a sprained ankle." You still had a bad game, albeit for a good reason, but it still happened. The best solution would be to go on to do better later in some twisted internet forum redemption quest. But in the counter-argument, I'm kind of going up to the short guy and saying "Why can't you reach the top shelf?"
I'm off track. Back to anarchy:
Really at this point we're just rehashing the Liberal vs Realist idea. The realist view being that the world is anarchy and the state is only permitted to exist because of fear, and the Liberal view from Locke and stating that the state nature occurs in nature. We're all logical and self-interested and because of it will realize that through cooperation everyone can have a jet-car, a hot trophy wife, and an exotic rich-mahogany liquor cabinet. Kind of like a socio-political free market. And we saw how THAT one turned out...
