Most Americans are content

Who cares? Why become an anarchist you will never change anything?

To even become effective in causing changes in society, you would have to have at the very least a major part of the population backing you, and with these ideas that will never happen. In all major revolutions in history, good or bad, a majority of the population wanted them to come about, but in america even with all its problems most are content. People complaining to the government is good because it lets them know that there are problems, but the reality is that america is still one of the better places to live in this world.

The most anyone can hope for is small changes because as long as the present form works it will be around. Lets face it there will never be a perfect government or a utopian society.
