Or, actually, the new anarchy, I suppose. With our highly networked system of intercommunications, I think anarcho-syndicalism makes a whole lot more sense than it did 100 years ago. It's a whole lot harder to corrupt a crowd-driven system than it is a top-down hierarchy. Actually, I have about as much trust for government systems as I do for corporate-run systems. (And at the moment, we have both.)

"those few rules were formulated during the first few days by all of us posting together on what we thought the rules should be, so it wasn't a "top down" process."
