Anarchy or Self-Government? Just a thought...
What is the definition of anarchy? There are a few, "absence of government, a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority... a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government", so different people have different ideas about what anarchy means. It also means the "denial of any authority or established order" and the "absence of order : disorder".

At best, anarchy is a utopian ideal. There is only one way to free oneself of government control and that is through self-control. So what we are really aspiring to is not anarchy but actually self-government, the highest type of representative government, which is kind of happening on steemit, I think. Individual power is based on some kind of merit.
Definition of self–government is "self-control, self-command". It is "government under the control and direction of the inhabitants of a political unit rather than by an outside authority; broadly : control of one's own affairs"
