"Anarchists, huh? Anarchism isn't as fun as it seems, with as many people as this planet has. Warlords, endless war, famine, plagues, all that and more comes with anarchy. And in the end, the strongest will build empires, some lasting, some not. Eventually, there will again be governments. Anarchists pursue a futile cause. And they shall be eradicated if they try to attack Canada or any of the nations it's allied to." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
