Anarchism

I like the idea of being free from constraints imposed by a powerful state.
(But I also see practical difficulties with being stateless.)

Hmm. I have strong sympathies in that direction. I'm a kind of socialisty anarchisty. I support the democratisation of the economy through transformation into democratically-run co-operatives, and the movement of political power away from the nation-state primarily downwards to the local community, and to a lesser extent co-ordinating bodies at the level of the local region and supranational bodies at the continental scale or higher.

Is anyone else an Anarchist? I would love to meet other people with the same ideals as me!

This, but since I'm already responding in another thread made a couple days ago with the same question, I don't feel spelling it all out again, exactly.

Might not be what OP was referring to, but generally on reddit anarchism is:
That is one very specific flavor of "anarchism".
But it sounds too unrealistically idealistic & oppressive for my taste.

Some other definitions......
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anarchism
<primary> a doctrine urging the abolition of government or governmental restraint as the indispensable condition for full social and political liberty

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchism
<primary> a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups

Artemis, Athena, and Buddha. Anarcho-Communist.
The version of Anarchism I believe in is a government-less society where the community takes care of itself. I don't think one person should be in charge. The way I see it, they are bosses. Many say "You couldn't survive without someone as a boss." Wrong. You don't need someone sitting at a desk telling you what to do. Instead, you need leaders. Someone who is your equal, and recognizes that, who helps you with the tasks. They put as much effort in the work as you. That is what we need. Not a corrupt government where everyone thinks themselves as immortal to world problems.

And, to those on here that are just curious, Anarchy doesn't mean lawless society. It means rulerless. An- Greek: No. Archy- Greek: Ruler/Chief.
Also, I don't think we should have a police state.

I imagine capitalists, socialists, communists, hunters, & hermits all getting along peacefully.
