Anonarchy

Anonarchy

There has been a lot of talk about cryptoanarchy, but zero talk about the other side of the equation, anonymity in government. I dub this Anonarchy, and have made a logo accordingly (actually, I made the logo first and the system of government to fit it.)

If you’re not a computer-science person, this wikipedia article might explain some things. In short, A* is the algorithm which is used to find the best paths between anonymous relayers in mixnets like Tor.

There are pros and cons to this type of government. One one hand, it is a completely pure type of politics. Supposing this is a representative democratic anonarchy, all potential leaders are anonymous and therefore judged solely on their stance on issues and their speeches, not by their age, sex, skin color, history, etc. It is also corruption-proof as the bribee is unknown, and the result of the bribe cannot be verified anyway.

On the other hand, 4Chan.

That is all.
Rich.

    its time to take back the machines! Overflow the buffers! Kill the stack!

    more to come on actual implementations for people to enjoy :)

  • I have just discovered the concept of “anonarchy” and find it intriguing. Where can I find more on it?

    Regarding the comments above…
    “…all potential leaders are anonymous and therefore judged solely on their stance on issues and their speeches, not by their age, sex, skin color, history, etc.”
    …which is a good thing, but if we know nothing of their true history, and are to judge and elect them based solely on their purported “stance”, how are we to know they are not just assuming a stance in order to get elected? I think history and track record is a great gauge as to future intentions.

    Also “it is also corruption-proof as the bribee is unknown, and the result of the bribe cannot be verified anyway.” :-) So much for transparency, huh? That’s not corruption-free, it just creates the environment for free corruption.

    But if “anonarchy” can eliminate self-interest in govenment, I’m all for it. Just as I am all for the “flat tax” and a non-vote counting as a “No” vote.
