    by force or violence

    I don’t see that those paragraphs object to democratic change

    Of course you cannot expect Republicans to fully represent you.

    If you cannot convince 50% to vote for anarchy you won’t have anarchy if you overthrow the state with violence. All the problems you see, they have to be resolved. It will not be easy and can as well be impossible.

    What do you want the most?

        I would ask a lawyer first but I wouldn’t be worried about breaking the law.

        However, you don’t start with a candidate. You have to convince 50% or better 90% of the population first. Then, the election is a formality.

        I rather doubt that a majority wants Anarchy, even if you could start with a perfect setup.

          A lawyer is gonna tell you you’re on your fucking own on this one, though will probably offer to represent you when you’re inevitably dunked into legal troubles.

          I’m a lot more optimistic about Anarchism’s appeal. George Orwell called anarchist Catalonia the closest thing he had ever seen to paradise. There are a lot of examples of Anarchist societies being highly successful (until the authoritarians show up and imprison/kill everyone).
