i disagree for multiple reasons. the first being because really, anarchy isnt based on any assumption (atleast that i can think of). my view of anarchy is simply that no one person is any better than anyone else and no one has the right to power over someone else. simply, everyone has equal right to everything, and who is to say they dont?
if people are greedy and jealous then they have the right to be greedy and jealous.
secondly, (and i feel that this can be proven with fact and science and statistics and what not, but because i cannot back that up at this very moment i will say that this is a belief) human nature is not to based on being greedy and jealous. yes, in this culture it may completely seem that way, but that does not mean that it is the same in every culture. the native american culture for instance was very much not greedy or jealous, they took what they needed and only that, and appreciated what they had and were given. if you are thinking all the way back to hunter gatherers, i can see how it may seem that people were greedy and jealous, and i can see how those things could be associated with a survival skill, but i have to say that i dont think thats what was going on. hunter gatherers did as the indians did, they took what they needed and didnt harm the resource, they didnt deplete it simply out of greed. the jealousy part is harder to debate because i dont see where it would even be an issue in many circumstances out of modern culture.
Well, for one thing, anarchy is an assumption considering it is only a theory/idea.
And for another thing, the Native Americans took only what they needed from nature, but fought eachother constantly over land and power. And, the Native Americans weren't anarchists, there were many social structures, such as the Iroquis Confederation which our own government system is based on.

thats my two cents for the moment.
