In some other threads you mention logic and proof. We can state, by definition, that anarchism implies no state, and therefore overthrowing one government and installing another is not anarchy.

When we discuss history we have left the realms of deduction and induction. That's fine, but let's not pretend rigor.

So far, we have no evidence of overthrow resulting in anarchy. That doesn't make it impossible, but history suggests overthrow results in a new state and a new elite.

@Radical_EgoCom When I say dissolve, I mean states fail and are replaced. Capitalist states may result from successive dissolutions, but this is not a constant any more than kings succeeding kings was a constant.

The fundamental difficulty with this survey: anarchy is not communism. In practice, communism replaces one ruling party with another. Anarchism proposes no ruling party.

This doesn't seem like much, but an individual citizen has little power next to a king. Anarchy manifests when people decide, en masse, not to cede their power to a few individuals.
@Radical_EgoCom anarchy is incompatible with the "overthrow" of the state. That just results in another state. The state must dissolve. They invariably do. In the meantime, anarchy exists at the interstices in the form of autonomous zones and direct action. Those activities answer the question "how can we survive without a state?" Which is similar to the question "how can we survive without a king."
It’s not a bad show but this is a terrible episode where the characters are attacked by evil SecUnits. (That’s like the opposite of an oxymoron, since in the media, there’s no such thing as a non-evil SecUnit.) (Is there a word for the opposite of an oxymoron?)

If I were a #vampire, I don't think I would have enjoyed the blood rave at the beginning of #Blade. Would a human enjoy it if they were at a club and it started raining hotdogs? But I guess vampires are messy eaters. That, and they like to play with their food.

Nice to stumble upon the origin of a sample, this from Skinny Puppy's The Second Opinion.
