I see, so this is the post you mentioned in your comment. Interesting stuff. I think statism vs anarchism is a false dichotomy. Strong willed people will take control of the situation during times of crisis regardless of ideologies. It doesn't matter if there's a state nor what the state claims it stands for.

For example, it's funny how you can play as Atilla and Genghis Khan in Civ 5, but they never actually founded any real cities. They are the barbarians. Genghis Khan, like some Roman Emperors, promoted religious tolerance, but not in the way we are used to today. They just figured that the more people and gods who are on their side, the more victories they will have. Today, people like to blame religion, fascism, or communism for being dangerous. They think ideology is dangerous, but I think that's not the complete picture. Humans are dangerous, regardless of what they claim they believe. People are great at rationalizing to get their way no matter what. There is no solution or resolution. Empires will rise and fall in waves just as they always had in history.
