Eamon Hennessey said (via Utah Phillips) "an anarchist is someone who doesn't need a cop to tell him what to do!"

I'd love for that to be the case for me always! Ideally, that IS the case. In reality we do seem to need GORT to keep us from blowing up the world! (GORT was the robot cop in _The Day The Earth Stood Still_)

Communism strived to protect us from our own natures---ie. the excesses of Capitalism---But those same natures (people stuff) got in the way of Communism being successful just as it keeps Capitalism from providing for everyone.

Under communism, man exploits man; under Capitalism, it's just the reverse! That's why we need cops! Being PEOPLE (with all that that entails), our very natures will make those cops both good and bad!!
