Hi everyone,

I came across this forum when I was supposed to be working. I´ve got some ideas on this subject, but as I have approached the topic from a Tech/Society angle (Mumford, Ellul (spelling?), History of Tech.. etc), I have some ideas that you may find interesting.

I see anarchy as an inevitability, but I don´t really see any reason why consciousness is a requisite for anarchy. In fact, I think that anarchy is much more likely to occur under the opposite circumstances - little to no social consciousness.

In my vision of the future, I see the technological system (technique as defined by Jaques Elul) actually replacing government, as our technique becomes more and more invasive, eroding our consciousness in the best interest of the system.

Yeah, so I could develop this with more detail, but I´m just gonna toss this one out there and see what the thoughts of the forum are.
