So very few people are actually powerless then. Perhaps the Sansha. Everyone can choose. Sometimes the alternative is death... but everyone can choose.
True, however an awful lot of these people are not conscious of this choice available to them, so in reality are powerless.

I think a lot of people are aware of their choices, but merely don't like many of their choices. People that say 'I have no choice' often mean 'I don't have any choices I like'. Those people are not powerless, they *feel* powerless.
And if they let that 'feeling' rule them, they are powerless in reality. I think we're saying the same thing really, just in two different ways.

Is it not their own responsiblity to achieve consciousness of their actual power and cast of their illusory chains of powerlessness according to you?
Ultimately yes, but that does not mean we cannot help them on that journey. That is why I belong to SF, it is an organization helping to bring about a reality of personal sovereignty. Sure, I could sit back and wait for people to wake up entirely of their own accord over the course of the next millenia. However I chose to take a more proactive stance on two fronts; I try to talk people into taking control of their own lives, and I kill those who try to maintain the illusionary bonds on fellow men for their own personal gain.

Anarchism and the Sani Sabik have a lot in common to be honest. The key aspect I feel followers of the Sani Sabik lack is a healthy dose of personal responsibility and a respect for others personal sovereignty.
Most anarchists appreciate these two principles because it benefits them and the common good in the long term, where as for example a sovereign of the Sani Sabik will do whatever they please regardless of the consequences to their environment or those around them. I feel this is rather short sighted, however as far as I know there is nothing in the Sani Sabik ethos to say they cannot live this way so I personally see more potential for the future than the more authodox Amarrian faiths.
Of course this is just my opinion, I am by no means a scholar on either anarchism or the Sani Sabik.

I would have thought that the belief that the perfect world has a government to be the very antithesis of anarchy, but maybe that's just me.
I was making an observation of the reality in New Eden. I couldn't care less about someones imaginary perfect world.
