Anarchy in play RIGHT NOW?

 I started watching this thing with my friends about 3 days ago, we were commenting about how this is proof that democracy as well as socialism is a failed model, just based on human nature. What I speak of is the "Twitch Plays Pokemon" stream. It is a modified gameboy emulator running the first pokemon game. The player commands are taken from a chat room which anyone can join and send commands. The whole thing is broadcast live via the Twitch.tv network.

 

It's a really interesting experiment show casing a great multitude of cultural development in a very short span of time. The growth has been explosive over the last day and a half. Well over 8 million views in just over the 5 days it has been running! about 50,000-73,000 active participants at anyone time.
