Perhaps you can enlighten me Amir on your perspective of how a failed state
would be able to organize to create beneficial emergent properties.

If the people are prepared to organize that's one thing, but an unorganized
mass with an impasse of ideologies sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Noticing whats happening with the Arab Spring, it seems a power vacuum
doesn't necessarily lend itself to benevolent organization.

I am of the opinion that government is a higher level of organization,
that, when done correctly, allows for useful systems properties that are
unattainable otherwise. Perhaps I am just not a true anarchist at heart.
