I tend to agree. For some who may read that statement, and infer that those are only the words of an anti-patriot, such a proposition would be uncomfortable. That would be the pre-programmed response typical of the inheritor of centuries of external conditioning for that very purpose.

But, if one is predisposed toward the Lockean persuasion - that humankind is inherently good in a state of nature - a little anarchy might just be the needed prescription for a very sick world. In such a state, evil either rules completely, or is ostracized to the margins of society - either way would be more preferred by me, instead of the hazy, murky, confused world where all claim to be good, but publicly celebrate evil (as relative as those two terms are).

Best,
