American capitalism is just anarchy with rules. lol
I know that sounds stupid, but it is true. It's a competition, like anarchy. The one with the most resources wins, like in anarchy. The only difference is that the poor people can't do anything about it once their poor because the rules are only there to suppress them.
When a person goes out of their way to find a favorable loophole, that's comparable to anarchy. Doing whatever a person can to get ahead, to be the best, to have the most. The very fundamentals of anarchy stain our society. A person can go into the grocery store and steal very easily without being caught, and more than you think actually do. People use those new environment friendly bags, fill them up with stuff, walk around for a bit until no one suspects anything, and then they leave with a store-validated bag full of unpaid-for things. But it looks like they paid because it's in a bag.
There are a disgusting number of examples of anarchy even in my country. For instance, the law may be in place against marijuana, but how many people follow that rule for the sake of following the rule? Most reasons I hear are "It'll ruin my lungs...". The fines or jail time don't scare those who do smoke it. They feel oppressed to be unable to smoke what they want. That's my answer anyway, but I fit into the "I don't wanna mess up my lungs" category. The police don't scare me in the least. My philosophy is that I won't hurt anyone or do anything that antagonizes people until they've done the same to me. It it just so happens that the law overlaps on most of those things. Murder...assault...stealing... Why would I want to instigate a fight with someone who hasn't wronged me? Most of my friends, and many other kids I know, however, will do the whole supermarket bag scam, and don't have jobs. Most of those thieves also smoke weed, and a few of them have assaulted people. None of them have records because the police can't do anything about it. Because they see what I see. It's an anarchy, and even if the "law" catches you, you can still run. And so it's the same as nature. if you an run away from a bear, you don't get eaten. Good luck though, they can hit 40mph.
I don't agree with what my friends do, but no because the law doesn't. I don't think you should steel or hurt people who haven't stolen from or hurt you.
