There are anarchic tribes on earth & there have been socialist anarchist societies who ran communities in history. You're better off to read about them. I did like the ambiguousness because it made my belief that the capitalist "dystopia" was better off then the anarchic "utopia" seem like a valid interpretation. It was also nice to see what someone from an anarchy would be like, since historically speaking I can't think of a working libertarian anarchy. I sort of liked left hand of darkness, but I think UKLG writes some of the most intelligent, but least enjoyable science fiction out there. Don't misunderstand me I do like intelligent stuff like Of Mice & Men, Canticle for leibowitz, The divine comedy, don quixote, etc. I just say that so you won't offhandily disregard this.
