7. Well in a way
if we each get to choose our form of government, it would be anarchy....as someone pointed out, communism, socialism and capitalism are economic systems not governmental forms. I am an anarchist in that ideally I consider myself sovereign, and other individuals sovereign, and I don't like yielding that, but I don't live ideally, in the real world, I like our system, but it is inherently no better than the people that constitute it, it is easy to follow the form of the Constitution without the spirit, so you have corporations dumping toxins, with the power of the government to back them up.

So I'm not really an anarchist on the ground, but strictly in the Ivory Tower.
