not bad, But the "I stole it" isn't something considered good, You will have to develop more about how you got those vessels.

Also an Anarchist Society cannot exist. Anarchism is the oposite of a society. When a Human is in the nature he is naturaly Free to do what he wants(very close to Anarchism). But once he is in a society he must get rid of this natural liberty (part of it), so at this point there is no more anarchy.

we didn't steal the ships, just the plans. getting out of Rheinland with a bunch of ships is bizarre. a covert strike team getting in and stealing plans (and not for all their ships, only a few), is relatively plausible. eventually, if we can, we'll customize the ships so that they are only loosely based on the original designs (mostly in appearance i think. but that is a long way off). perhaps we can write a nice short story on the covert operation, and the hairy escape under fire. that would be fun, and help explain this line of RP.

the argument about anarchist society you're using is the one developed by Nozick. unfortunately, Nozick operated with several starting assumptions which are erroneous, and have been shown to be either irrelevant or simply wrong by anarchist thinkers, both before and since. ultimately, this argument is the result of a failure to actually examine anarchist thought as described and practiced by anarchists themselves. Nozick instead creates his own starting premises which have no basis in anarchist thought, and are therefore prey to several problems, which he develops at length into a treatise on why anarchism cannot function in a society. part of the problem here is the neoberal concept of 'human as free in nature'. there is no such thing, as anarchists (and many others) have made clear. there are only human groups. without a group a single human cannot survive. therefore all the neoberal starting assumptions about 'life in the wild' are based on a total fiction. if you look up even a cursory description of anarchist social theory you'll find that it is robust and describes human society rather well.
