Beautiful piece of writing Marilena! Somehow you have express my own doubts about Anarchism. It sounds wonderful, but as you, I have the sneaking suspicion there is something wrong with Anarchism, something utopian. Are human beings civilised enough to live without “Leviathan”, to coexist without an state. Weber defined the State as a centralised institution with a legitimate monopoly of using violence. Anarchism supports, on the contrary, a decentralised use of violence to maintain order in the freest society. I will write an entry on markets and the “Tragedy of Commons” to give, from my point of view, a description of the political and economic system which embraces the most efficient relation of freedom and State.
