I think this is accurate to a fault, but it loses credibility with your arrogance I'm sorry to say, considering Shannon was only speaking her opinion and quite humbly at that. When you say Anarchy could work very easily save for all the ignorant, uneducated, selfish bastards, considering people are what up make a system of government, that's akin to saying any idea ever thought up could be executed successfully if only it's flaws and complications didn't exist. Of course that's true, but much like Communism, it really only looks good on paper. Anything further, and as you said, you get a sort of mob mentality. Any idea will work once you alleviate it's faults, that's common sense. You also say that maybe if we weren't individuals raised on television and catalogs that it would work, however we're one of only a handful of cultures that are brought up this way in the grand scheme of things and Anarchistic governments are next to nonexistent. I'm not sure if you're onto something that the billions of other sentient, logical beings

I've only a few more points to make and then I'll leave you all to your own devices, letting you argue over what Anarchy is and is not. I got the points you were making, I just didn't agree with them. I hope you don't always take someone not agreeing with you as missing your points. Something looking good on paper is an age old phrase, and not something new or something I came up with on my own. It means, on the off chance you're unsure, that it is a great idea but that's all it will be. Communism was tried out and very few nations today are still Communist if not only China, Vietnam, Cuba, and North Korea (and even those aren't entirely communist governments). The reasons that you yourself mentioned (ex. "corrupt leaders of the countries that implemented it," and "IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED, SELFISH morons") are the reasons these forms of government (or lack thereof) would not work
