It was funny to see a guy dressed up as a Klingon saying it.
And of course anarchy predates religion.
anarchy a state of flux between dominant ideas/powers yes, Anarchy as in the idea and concept of the previous, no.

Indeed, tribal culture is not anarchical in a local sense. So in a way, humanity as a 'thing' came about post-anarchy if it ever existed at all, considering the intelligence and structure of chimp society.

but isnt the basis on the Anarchy, based upon the pure forms of the primal societies?
when the laws were not written, but enforced by nature?

To be fair, the neckbeard trekkie is talking about politics without realizing it, he thinks he's making a philosophical point, but it's one of political history. I mean we can all chose several valid conception of anarchy but I could write 2,500 words on why his statement is utterly retarded.

In a way you are correct. Anarchy is an absence of publicly enforced governance. That is, there are no rules governing behaviour and nobody to enforce them. It is law of the jungle at the most basic, the problem is, humanity since monkeys has existed outside 'I do what I need to for ME' with Chimps waging their form of war for the collective good and territorial expansion etc. That is a form of governance with enforced rules. Tribes were little states themselves, indeed, they satisfy international law to be a state even today!



Defined area - check
Ability to engage with other entities - check
Homogenous or related ethnic/s group - check
Define population - check
Sovereignty - Tribal chief check

I love politics.

Serious question for the Muslims.... Did Mohammed really consummate his marriage to Aisha when she was 9 years old?
Historical research establishes that Hadhrat Aisha was in fact ten years old at the time of her nikah which took place two years before Hijrah. Her marriage was not consummated until the third year after Hijrah making her about fifteen years old when the marriage was consummated. To be married at the age of fifteen during the time of the Holy Prophet (saw), and under the hot climate of Arabia, was not at all out of the ordinary. At the age of fifteen it was common for girls of the Arabian peninsular to mature to the age of puberty and begin married life

Nikah= Islamic marriage ceremony (usually preformed at a mosque by an Imam) that precedes a traditional wedding ceremony (where friends & family are invited after which the couple begin to live w/each other) but it in almost all cases it doesn't mean the newly weds consummate their marriage/live together.
Hijrah= When Prophet Muhammad escaped persecution in Mecca and traveled to the city of Medina.
