Anarchy v. Authority. It is both easy and valid to argue that many dissenters ignore history; that if they only understood how much conditions have improved since the Great Depression, they would be less dyspeptic today; that if they could feel the reality of the cold war of a decade ago, they would be less prone to pacifism; that if they would acknowledge the rule of law's value in nurturing progress, they might be less hostile to traditional forms; that anarchy can be a harsher master than authority...
