Well, I guess some people would define anarchy as a "political system", but I don't. Anyway, the anarchy of Judges 21 is not held up as a positive model, but one to be avoided:

Ignore the rest of the article, it goes on to claim that "king" doesn't mean "king" but "God" - I think if God wanted to write "God" He would have written "God" instead of something else! Thus a bit of "interpretation" and talk of "metaphors" and "poetry" strips the verse of all political meaning, and suddenly the Bible has nothing bad to say about anarchy! This is why Biblical literalism is our only defence against people using God as their "Yes-man" and claiming the Bible says whatever they want it to say.

Note that Libertarians are not anarchists. Libertarians oppose governments because governments place limits on private authority. Since the difference between a king and a CEO with no limits on his authority is pretty much superficial (crowns vs ties) I would describe the chaos in Judges as anarchy rather than libertarianism in action.


Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
