The Effects of Anarchy

A friend of mine asked me what happens when a society becomes lawless on a mass scale. My answer to him was that usually one of two scenarios occur. The first scenario is that an autocratic entity such as a dictator or a junta rises to power to fill the vaccuum. The other scenario is that it degenerates into civil war. Either way the consequences of anarchy on a mass scale are not good and should be avoided. To much governmental authorities is bad thing. However it is also true that the reverse is also the case. Societies cannot function correctly if chaos reigns.
