Round 1
Anarchy is respect for individual freedom. Each individual is sovereign. Thus, each individual lives life as he wants and has control over his body and property.
Tyranny means that individual is oppressed, subjected to forced labor, forced to work a lot yet still live in poverty and still not even being able to make decisions about own life. Almost all his rights are violated.
So clearly, anarchy is more desirable because rights and freedom is much more important than the simple lack of those. Tyranny doesnt guarantee to achieve anything good. Anarchy achieves some good by default.
First, I will make clear that my stance is that anarchy is not better than tyranny. However, I do not believe that tyranny is any better anarchy. Anarchy is when every single person has the right to do whatever they want, without any restriction. So, there is no authority to control any action of the person. Tyranny is when a single ruler have the right to do anything he/she wants. In both forms of government, someone can do whatever they want. In an anarchy, a person can go kill anyone without facing any consequences, because there is no rule or law saying he can't do so. Isn't that the same as a tyranny with a bad tyrant?
So, in conclusion, I do not believe that anarchy is better than tyranny. An Anarchy can lead to a community of chaos. While, a tyranny can also do so, it is not any worse.

WELL, HERE COMES THE EVERGREEN QUOTE - " SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING". ANARCHY, AS I HAVE LEARNT ABOUT IS A STATE OF DISORDERLINESS, STATE OF BEING LAWLESS. ANARCHY IS WHOLE ANOTHER UNIVERSE WHERE THERE IS NO RULER AND YES, PEOPLE AREN'T RULERS TOO.
NOW, GETTING INTO THE MAIN PART, ANARCHY IS 'NOT' BETTER THAN TYRANNY BUT I HATE TO GIVE AWAY CERTAIN IMPRESSION THAT TYRANNY IS GOOD OR ACCEPTABLE. CERTAINLY, TYRANNY IS NOT TO BE ENCOURAGED BY THE SOCIETY, IT HAS TO BE EXPELLED BY THE SOCIETY. ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH TYRANNICAL FORCES TOWARDS A COUNTRY, I WOULD STILL LIKE TO, ACTUALLY BEING COMPELLED TO SAY THAT TYRANNY IS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN ANARCHY. ASK ME WHY?
BECAUSE, IF THERE IS TYRANNY AROUND, THEN WE CAN HAVE CERTAIN CHANCES POPPING UP TO ERADICATE IT SOMEHOW. AUTOCRACY ATLEAST PAVES THE PATH TOWARDS RISING DEMOCRACY OR SOME OTHER SORT OF REIGN. BUT ANARCHY? IT IS A STATE OF SUBCONSCIOUSNESS, IT IS A SLUMBER. IT FORBIDS NEW IDEOLOGIES, CREATIVITY, ETCETERA.
WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT NOTHING GOING ON IN IT? IN THE SAME WAY, THERE MUST BE SHARING OF IDEAS AND CONCEPTS BETWEEN THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY, WELL, THERE MUST BE CLASHES TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, COME TOGETHER AND BUILD A STRIONG BASE FOR A BETTER AND UNITED COUNTRY.
ANARCHY IS LIKE A FREE BIRD WITHOUT ANY DESTINATION TO REACH, IT IS A MOVING BUS WITH NO STOPS. THAT'S NOT HOW A COUNTRY HAS TO BE BECAUSE WHERE WE LIVE CREATES A MASSIVE IMPACT ON OUR LIVES. A COUNTRY HAS TO BE GUIDED BY A PROPER AUTHORITY, IT HAS TO BE GOVERNED BY A DISCIPLINED, TRUTHFUL AND RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT.
THUS, HAVING TYRANNY AROUND THAN HAVING NOTHING BUT OUR OWN DECISIONS EACH AND EVERYDAY WHICH WE DON'T EVEN ANALYSE WHETEHR THEY ARE RIGHT OR WRONG IS MAYBE COMPARATIVELY 'BETTER'.
TYRANNICAL LEADERS - GOOD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A HUGE NEED FOR BETTERMENT. WHEN THERE IS REIGN OF TERROR TERRORIZING US TO THE PEAKS, THEN IT IS TIME THAT WE FIGHT FOR GOOD AND RIGHT LEADERS. YES, TYRANNY IS, AT ROCK-BOTTOM, THE TRIGGER TOWARDS THE BETTER AUTHORITIES. TYRANNY ATLEAST INSPIRES US TO MARCH TOWARDS FINER THINGS FOR A COUNTRY BUT HOW DOES ANARCHY HELP PEOPLE CIVILISE?
SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING GUYS!!!
I didn't see that it is only one thousand characters. This makes it impossible to make a bunch of strong arguments and support them with facts.
