No it isn't an oxymoron. Society is just a term for a group of related people, or such a group in the same geographical space, sharing a distinctive culture and relation. There were human societies existing before anything like the State was first thought of, because State refers to an organized political community under a government.

As an idea, anarchy may seem like a good thing; everyone working together, not lead, with a common goal of a community. But others will always try to exploit that, just look at Somalia, no government so no one can control the pirates.

they aint anarchists then.
however they need more media attention. it's a thread for nearly all nations. and only 1 of them is really fighting. they don't even have any flighing weapons. 1 aircraft carrier would fix allot of it. then give somaliland jurisdiction over it and fund them. could be all done within 10 year.

I think the individualistic nature of many humans, especially in industrial countries, prevent the functioning of a truly anarchistic society. Too many sacrifices would have to be made, too many possibilities to take advantage of it. From a social evolution standpoint, it's a strategy that easily gets out-selected and thus won't establish any time soon.

No it's not as simple as people think it is. It's not as simple as bombing bases, because such bases are often in urban areas, the complexity of warlord relations, the weakness of the central government which can't even control Moghadishu properly. Above all, the humanitarian situation that can't be fixed just through stop gap measures of food aid. Also, unwillingness of foreign publics to send in troops.

it's not like afghanistan. in this war there is a real frontline.

thats why we should give jurisdiction to somaliland.
who is doing good for itself. but is not even internationally acknowledge yet.

If we've learnt anything from Black Hawk Down, and the UN mission in the 1990s, it's no, front lines are ill defined.

It's not your call to divide up a sovereign nation. Would you like it if the Netherlands is arbitrarily split up by international intervention?

The rest of the world needs some MP of its own.

somaliland is not a nation. and i don't argue that it should be. (it would be good tho) what i argue for is that the incapable government of somalia should be striped of it's powers and given to the somaliland government. the shape of the country will stay the same and nothing gets divided (it's already divided now but w/e) it will only change the government system. what would go very smooth as the new government does already exists and is working.
The rest of the world needs some MP of its own.
the marshall plan was to rebuild europe.
does the rest of the world need to rebuild?
does somalia need to be rebuild?
and if you mean the whole world is in debt. then the best thing would be to just forget it all and start over.

If it's the al shahab and Kenyan front line, even then it's fuzzy. Al shahab still
controls swathes of the countryside even after it's last major port fell last week, yet no one knows where this area of control extends to.

The Somaliland government has no wish to control the whole of Somalia, being a separatist movement at it's roots, so it would be pointless. And it would go against the year long mission of the UN and the AU in the capital, which is to prop the central government up.

This is incredibly short sighted. Which creditor would allow a country to forfeit it's loans, essentially giving it money? No government will. China is owed billions by the USA, would you think China is willing to allow the US to go scot free?
The Marshall Plan required a huge financial backer, yet no one today is capable of rescuing a continent, let alone the world.

no it was in somalia iself by uganda. (uganda does not border somalia)
they have started in somaliland and are going down. trying to spread the pirates from the ME.
The Somaliland government has no wish to control the whole of Somalia,
somaliland has the wish that their faily in somalia will get a better, less violent life. if they could help whit that. they sure want to.
it would go against the year long mission of the UN and the AU in the capital, which is to prop the central government up
so? it's not the 1st time missions are done for nothing.
the somalian "government" is incapable. why try to fix that if there is already a alternative government existing?
The Marshall Plan required a huge financial backer, yet no one today is capable of rescuing a continent, let alone the world.
your missing the point here.
i didn't say (like whit the marshall plan) that 1 country needs to pay for it.
i said that the UN, AU nations and other countrys that will profit from a stable somalia. need to fund it. thats over 70 countrys.
so the bill can be spread over 70 nations.
and in the long run it will cost less then to protect the ships and only go past it in convoy.
that costs us billions per year.
