Thought this was quite interesting.
I agree with her on some points,but i still remain a syndicalist.
She's simply too optimistic about people's behavior.
As in anarcho-syndicalist? I'm reading through An Anarchist FAQ at present, got it on my Kindle. Haven't read about anarcho-syndicalism yet, though, any pointers you think might be helpful to someone educating themselves on the subject?
It would sure be nice if the person who rated the video dumb explained why...

How so? I think there's a quite small set of conditions required for anarchism to work; mostly the capacity to rationally negotiate (maybe that's the [I]only[/I] one). You only need a small (but significant enough) percentage of people acting in coordination for physical coercion to be a terrible strategy. Next semester I'm writing my dissertation on how anarchism can be defended, even with a relatively pessimistic view of human nature. Unless you think there's more people sociopathic/deeply irrational than not, there's every reason to act in favour of [I]total[/I] statelessness.

Any possibility you might share your dissertation when it's out of the way? Seems like it would be interesting to read.
