Thanks for the info!

I do have a thought though. Isn't there the inherent risk that the anarchists who overthrew the status quo could themselves become the status quo? Especially if they stick around to maintain the new society, as you put it. Not to say those who fought so hard for success would become tyrants, but I could see it happening later down the line. It would be the same issue that communism has had in the past. Everyone is equal, but this guy is going to be put in charge to make sure of that. And then he collects more and more power. It started out well, but then fell apart.
