Would they prefer Anarchy, which is a society without laws or goverment or hierarchal structure, everyone equal with few rules.
-Or- Would they prefer Nihilism, which is a total rejection of goverment, laws, or hierarchal structures of any kind, including beliefs...
-Or- Would they rather have a goverment to make them feel like they have boundries? |
In life as a whole, it would seem the people have preferred democracy over anything else so for, which would mean choice C would be the obvious answer to this somewhat juvenile question.

Okay, in an anarchist state, there'd be no government. No police, no leaders... nothing to govern a person but their own set of moral values. In today's society, if anarchy was truly unleashed, how long do you think it would be before nihilism took over? Greed would reign supreme and people would slowly succumb to it. They'd eventually abandon whatever beliefs they had and give in to survivalism.
And I'm talking about the majority of Americans in the United States. We may not like to admit it, but if it came down to it, it would be a fucking dog-eat-dog situation in either case.
