Although I understand the overall message of your thread...

I just wish more people actually understood what anarchism as a philosophy really stood for.

Hint. Not a group of young hooligans running amok destroying public property.



Chomsky can be a dry speaker, perhaps better in written word... but he's a great thinker.



This one is easier to follow, and a great vid.

Definitely an anarchist. Glad others are beginning to look into it also. It is the truest form of democracy, direct democracy. The fascists hate true direct democracy though, don't they? That story mad me smile, it means anarchism is actually spreading as a viable option in peoples minds which is why they have directed their propaganda campaigns against anarchism. Let it spread like wild fire!

Anarchy is social organization without rulers. It is vehemently against all forms of coercion and state-sponsored violence. It demands a voluntary society, not one founded and maintained through force or manipulation.

For instance if you consider yourself an anarchist meaning that you want no government control...But you are smart enough to understand that unless you own a private army of terrorists you have no business going around and harming others. (That is if terrorists ever had any business harming others in the first place).

Now, the people who claim to be anarchists here have to ask themselves if they are really anarchists. if they are not willing to go to the RNC and join their fellow Anarchist friends even after the warning which was ironically sent out by the government you apparently hate. What's the point? To whine on the internet?

It does you no good screaming and whining on here. That's a problem with anarchism on here. Because the internet is the closest form to anarchism you guys will get, and that's where your most vocal and feel most comfortable. If you were a true anarchist you'd join your stupid anarchist friends out in tampa regardless of whatever a random government agency says. Right?

*In No Way Does this post Condone anarchism or terrorism.


Albeit Jokingly, I was Implying that to Post here,, meant you ARE AN ANARCHIST!

hmmm,, not sure how to take you,,,
seriously?

Me thinks, thee protests to much........ (and talk about screaming and whining!)

Like it or not, in an Anarchy only the strong survive because there are no such things as rights.

That's chaos.

That presupposes chaos is the only state a society can be in with the absence of a governing social hierarchy. That's fundamentally against the belief of anarchism, which necessarily believes in the goodness of humankind in which it bases its philosophy. Anarchy is not against rules also.. Voluntary associations can have rules.

I don't want to derail the thread more than I might have already. Anarchism itself isn't the topic... I don't think.

Your understanding of anarchism is obviously from hollywood's portrayal of it in movies. What we have now is only the strong survive, it is called state-sponsored capitalism where wealthy capitalist collude with government to oppress and exploit the poor and middle classes. In anarchism the gun is taken out of the room, and humans are allowed to actually be humane.

PS: Start reading, you'll be an anarchist by the end of the night. Guaranteed.

Of course I understand and actually read the article. Now, did you actually read my post with an open mind and figure out what I was saying?

I was saying that you are a whining about nothing and if you really were an anarchist you would be down there with your friends regardless of what a random government organization says would happen to you, because you should want to advance the cause of anarchism.

Anarchists are usually people who want to see the government destroyed! They are the ones who will go out and do it to

I was thinking that ,,, am I the Only One who sees the Irony here?

How have our political systems engendered the need for a group or more of Governmental departments to be out tracking everything we do in the Fear, that we will rise up against the workings that they so cling to for power and profit.

Were are the Hero?
Are they somewhere in the small crazy groups that we all read about, fighting against the Machine Matrix?

Does anyone understand that the Military Industrial Complex/Corporation USA Inc. is fighting for its life right now because people are waking up to the fact that our governments are turning us into instant criminals so to safeguard their duplicitous acts against its own citizens.

This is not a good thing people.

If you were as your Avatar says, ''bringing balance to "" anything,,, then you would not be so presumptuous as to assume anything about me.

I seek to destroy nothing but ignorance. And the Only thing I am Going Out to do is to drink a beer after reading this response,,,

You are way off in knowing anything about what an anarchist might think or do.

Don't paint anarchists with such a wide brush.

Many anarchists very much oppose violent or forceful revolutions. Which I assume is what you mean with "go out and do it".

“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
