My, that pushes the research base....
Larry Niven attempted to write this up, in "Cloak of Anarchy". [He may have
been too limited in imagination, or simply needed to wrap it up quickly....]
The real question is, "How long can an anarchy stay an anarchy before it
mutates to some other governmental form?"
It looks like a nonstandard psychology [hopefully(?) attainable by
education] is required to stabilize an anarchy. Certain assumptions
about tech level may also be required. ["Nonstandard" is compared to the
varieties I see around me.]
