what city could have survived an attack from France? none. you will never find any true Scotsman.

Moscow has survived attacks from France. Every viable political/economic system has to be able to defend itself. I hope you realize how ridiculous your argument is by giving an example of something that lasted just barely 2 months. That's like claiming that a perpetual motion machine exists by showing some swinging pendulum for 10 seconds.

They don't. There has never been a communist or anarchist society that has functioned for an extended length of time as its own sovereign entity.

No, it isn't. You're so very smart.
