So call it whatever you want. You just said there are no regions in the world where anarchy has thrived at any point in time, yet alone for an extended period of time.

Now prove me wrong with statistics, facts, something tangible. If you go into your typical rambling rant with no factual basis you have proven yourself wrong.

Well, you fit his target audience... I see that.

Did you learn the true lessons?

Here they are:

Rule 1: make a lot of proclamations of how great you are and how you are always right.

Rule 2: pick an enemy, or 2, or 3 or 4 or, 100.

Rule 3: Demonize your enemies!!! Don't go soft here, make up stupid catchy names for them, accuse them of being rapists and cultists of Mullock or some sh*t.

Rule 4: Dig in deep, come up with awesome lies to tell about your enemies and tell them loud and often to anyone who will hear them.

Rule 5: Always play offense, if you answer a question, no matter how simple it is, you're on defense... and you don't want to play on defense... offense only!!! Attack!!!

Rule 6: Always deflect blame to someone else. Let's be real here... it was their fault and everyone knows it.

Rule 7: Once you hook em... really sink it in there. Really pound it in their head their head that you're the one on the right!!! Make sure they know that they shouldn't let anyone brainwash them... remember, you're the one with the true knowledge that needs to be shared, not those dipsh*ts at the library, or a school, or God forbid, a university.

Rule 8: Once you got them, and you know they are loyal, USE THAT SH*T. After all, you put in the work, they are now just mindless extensions of you. Reap the reward for that sh*t, make them do your dirty work.

Rule 9: Just a filler rule so we can have 10 rules... remember... Carlin was right, you always need 10 rules.

Rule 10: What ever you do, don't share these rules, if someone were to find out about them, then... well, the rules wouldn't be as effective.

Oops, did I just share the rules?

Think of it this way country boy. What is your country? Where are your principal loyalties? For BGZ I think it's his HUT where he probably smokin' wacky tobacky in his peace pipe right now.
In the statist mindset, "country" is synonymous with "nation" or something defined by some regional government authority claiming to be the rulers.
I keep being reminded of Mark Twain's famous quip, "Loyalty to Country Always. Loyalty to Government Only When It Deserves." He was obviously thinking outside the statist mindset, saying that country and government are two different things, one that has his natural loyalty always and the other where loyalty is determined by its behavior. Is it a friend to liberty or an oppressor?
So what is YOUR country, how far out does it extend from you? Is it your home and family? Your backyard? Your street? Your neighborhood? Your village, town, or city? Your county? Your state? Your centralized Leviathan nation?
I betcha the closer to home it is, the more governmentless it is and the more things operate in a peaceful voluntary way without the coercion of thieves and dicktators.

No, you are gas lighting again, I took out the word country. I substituted the word region which in this case implies no country. So answer the question I asked. Otherwise you have no substance. To remind you my question is this. Has there ever been a region where anarchy has thrived at any point in time, yet alone for an extended period of time?

You still don't define what "country" or "region" is.
I tried to give you a clue but you insist on not having a clue.
You can't handle the paradigm shift that is needed to break your statist conditioning.

re·gion
/ˈrējən/
Learn to pronounce
noun
an area or division, especially part of a country or the world having definable characteristics but not always fixed boundaries.
"one of the region's major employers"
an administrative district of a city or country.

My point is this anarchy rule only works on a small scale. While in theory it is great, sadly in reality it can be utilized only on an extraordinarily small basis.

Now is there any other thinking you need done which should include a factual basis?

There are a couple of recent attempts at anarchy. Seattle and Portland. In your opinion how well did they work out?
