freedom with responsability (some call it socialism),
limited free market with guided core industries (some call it socialism),
pizza.

You don't honestly expect me to choose between extremes when i prefer the middle ground? (some call me socialist)

Maybe pizza wants to be called something by some, too, did you ever think of that? Did you? Nice socialist you are, only thinking of yourself.

Aren't Anarchy and Communism somewhat paradoxial? After all, in anarchy, there is no government, and in communism, the government tries to control everyone to make everyone equal, and takes out anyone who badmouths the government.

Hehe, get ready for the ride...:p

I'll start you off (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-communism).

As for me, I like Pizza, I prefer Anarchism to Totalitarianism and the Free Market to Communism.

Anarchist-communism with Pizza. Although Hamburgers would be acceptable.

Ta.

Aren't Anarchy and Communism somewhat paradoxial? After all, in anarchy, there is no government, and in communism, the government tries to control everyone to make everyone equal, and takes out anyone who badmouths the government.

This is a feature of some (not all) Marxist models of "socialism", and isn't related to the idea of communism. The base definition of "communism" is an equal distribution of wealth and workers self-management; a totalitarian government does not naturally go hand in hand with this philosophy (and I would of course argue contradicts it, since the repression of free speech and the like is against the principle of self-management). "Anarcho-communism" refers to a community based on the ideals of communism without any central monopoly of power; or, at the very least, a non heirarchical one.

I chose anarchy-free market-hamburgers.

I prefer a free market to communism - it encourages innovation. And while hamburgers are notoriously fattening, in an anarchy, they would be useful as combining many needed kinds of foods (bread, meat, possibly vegetables or dairy) in a single food.

As for anarchy, I ultimately prefer democracy to either. However, totalitarianism will remain totalitarian for a while - revolutions occur, but not frequently enough. Anarchy, on the other hand, will produce democracies as people band together for survival.

Very easily, when the alternative is anarchy.

Think of the innovation pulled off in Nazi Germany. In a few years, they managed the Volkwagen, the cruise missile (V.1), the tactical-range rocket (V.2), the jet fighter, the rocket fighter, the assault rifle, the best army man-for-man of WWII, the autobahn system, some pretty cool clothes (uniforms by the original Hugo Boss!), and the A-bomb (nearly!) plus the scientific knowhow that enabled the USA to win the space race. etc. etc.

The disclaimer: I despise National Socialism, but the innovation that was achieved in 1930s and 1940s Germany was bloody impressive.

Anarchy free market pizza.

Because in this kind of world, I could live on my own in a little house tens of miles from the nearest person in beautiful Colorado, wif a greenhouse and some hunting to feed me. Sounds like a nice life to me.

Said gangs would mostly group together in areas where there are lots of people, lots of land to control, and whatnot. In essence, they'd probably stick to the ruins of cities.

True, but then there are the wandering Mad Max types, who are the epitome of "destroyinating." I pretty much agree with your idea of nice life, but I'd also prefer being in a small, self-sustaining community for mutual safety.

I'd be isolated in the mountains, somewhere deep within what is currently a state park, where roads are nigh nonexistant and there is no point to wasting the amount of gas they'd waste going so deep into the forests as they'd have to.

That's rational, but that won't do you a bit of good against teh crazy. Unless you intend to go to some kind of extreme desert climate, it's only a matter of time until your piece of heaven is discovered and violated.

That's what the pop-up walls and dome ceiling, complete with several machine gun emplacements are for. :D
