In this pamphlet, the primary argument that Avakian proposes against Anarchism is the idea that a stateless society would be without power -- without power to enforce its own ideals, and without power to enforce such ideals globally (if even the later is wholly desirable, as Globalization has been attacked by both Communists and Anarchists).
