: Anarchism sounds like the product of an adolescent fantasy.
: If anarchy is what you want, simply find a jungle or large forest, throw away all your 20th century trappings, and go and live there.
: No one will tell you what to do, and you will be 100% in control of your own destiny.

You don't seem to have a clue about anarchism at all. The anarchist struggles of our time haven't fought by idealistic teenagers or airy-fairy intellectuals, but mostly by downtrodden lower-class people, especially workers, prisoners, racially oppressed groups, etc.
Secondly, what's the use of living in a jungle somewhere? True anarchism is not a hippie lifesyle duh... the idea is to CHANGE this society for everybody, not escape from it for your own selfish reasons...
