> Why should a civilization seek anarchy? 

     Why would you change the subject?  Never mind.  Rhetorical
question.  Autocracy is very uncivilized, nothing more than 
the law of the jungle with a pretentious crown tottering on its
head.  Ditto other social hierarchies:  piles of monkeys
fighting to be on top.  So for civilized life in any meaningful
sense, anarchism is the choice.
     
     Also gets some sup****t in the NT.  Not an argument for its
value, of course, merely an observation.  The end-times 
prophesy in 1 Cor. 15:24 says Jesus will "put down all rule and 
all authority and power" in the world -- not exactly 
flattering to Constantines, Alexanders, Putins or Bushes -- and
over in the Gospels Jesus teaches against calling anyone 
"father" on this earth, restricting that title to God in heaven
and similarly arguing there's only one master, viz. the 
messiah:  an obvious rejection of earthly authority (this is in
Matthew 23:8-10) followed by a prediction that the social
order will be overthrown:  the exalted will be humbled, and the
humble will be exalted.
