Anarchists have organizations, but I think most of us can agree that they tend to behave in a way we can easily label "chaotic," since that's the point. I would think the best fitting social model for a chaotic organization or society would be one along the lines of tribes or cells, bound together more by (often temporarily) common interests, relatively freely joined, abandoned, and rejoined, with rivalries and allegiances that change with confusing regularity. A group characterized as chaotic probably wouldn't lend itself to a kingdom without a serious strong man in charge who:1. has a goal2. has the means of achieving that goal3. can intimidate his followers4. can entice his followersIn short, someone both extremely charismatic and driven, who has something he wants to achieve, and is willing to do practically anything to achieve it. Your average revolutionary or rebel leader or even terrorist leader would fit the bill pretty well. This type of individual doesn't really thrive in a peaceful/disorganized society and needs either a pre-existing conflict or to create conflict. The list above would even work for a chaotic neutral or chaotic good individual, depending on how the character intimidates others. A chaotic evil individual would probably take self-interest to the extreme, without even necessarily caring for their own physical/metaphysical well-being; the chaotic good type would go to the opposite end (since we like Jedi, why not the rebel Jedi, eh?).</blockquote>
