Im sure someone said that when society started moving from monarchy to 
parliment. Who would have ever thought the pope wouldn't always be the most 
powerful man in the world? 

It's not really a question of can it happen, it is a question of when. 
History has shown that corrupt, beauracratic, tyrannies always end at some 
point. As long as a society is culturally strong, it can hold itself 
together. When it starts regressing people get more and more pissed about 
lower standards of living and eventually take charge. 

If you look around throughout the world you can see the living standards 
going down for pretty much everyone who isn't wealthy to some degree. The 
only problem is, will the next revolution be another Bolshevic Revolution or 
will it bring some real change for the better, to the people. 

<<and if u do, how are you from making it happen?>>

This may suprise you but things like organising a group to feed the homeless 
or mentoring a disadvantaged child will do more for anarchism than organising 
an army willing to die and kill for a power exchange from one elitest group 
to another. The more anarchists do for their communities, the less the state 
can justify it's existence. 

The thing I like about anarchism is that it doesnt have to be preached with 
elaborate rhetoric like Marxism or Capitalism. Anarchists are doers, not 
bullshiters. Our victory will come from hard work.

Peace
