My guess is that he means “anarchism” (i.e. the idea that there should not be any central authority) or “anachronism” (i.e. the idea that we should go back in time and place futuristic objects in the past — i.e. like giving the Jews AK-47s to fight the Babylonians to prevent the first churban.)

My guess is on the latter. 🙂

The Wolf

The Yidden at the time of the churban had much better weapons at their disposal (such as the ability to levitate the city), if you read the Medrashim. They just didn’t help, since Hashem wanted them to lose.

If they had AK-47’s, the bullets would have just plopped out, with the next one complaining how hard it was to push out the first bullet.
