The above definition of anarchy is plain wrong, it should drop the "and
disorder" part: anarchy is merely the absence of an enforced order it does
in no way exclude the existence of an emergent order (see for example
Gandhis thoughts on "enlightened anarchy)
That said, enlightened anarchy is an ideal, and thus probably unatainable.
