Alan Moore
Capitalism and communism felt like they were always going to be around, but it turns out they were just two ways of ordering an industrial society. If you were looking for more fundamental human political poles, you'd take anarchy and fascism, for my money. View quote
Alan Moore
The schizophrenic is probably having exactly the same experience as the magician but has no context in which to understand it. View quote
Alan Moore

In order for any workable and realistic state of anarchy to be achieved, you will obviously have to educate people - and educate them massively - towards a state where they could actually take responsibility for their own actions and simultaneously be aware that they are acting in a wider group: that they must allow other people within that group to take responsibility for their own actions.
