Anarchy In One Paragraph

[danilo-cuellar]

  

Anarchy is not a political stance. It is an apolitical stance. It is lived and experienced by gentle, kind, compassionate, and loving human beings. It is transmitted through hearty laughter, affectionate words, mind-blowing conversation, flirtatious glances, children contently playing, and random acts of kindness. Wherever there are voluntary consensual interactions between peaceful people, there is Anarchy. It has the power to move mountains and change the course of history. 

"Why Anarchy, because anything less is uncivilized." Jeffrey Tucker, American economics writer

Deep thanks for this, @danilo-cuellar! In support of that gorgeous, succinct paragraph:
Preach anarchy at all times. When necessary, use words.

Curious to get your take on this comment I just received from an anarchist on here --

Others here are more qualified to explain the many, and vast, differences between Anarcho-Capitalism, and American Libertarian, political ideologies, but suffice it to say- unless you are willing to refusal ALL gods and masters, you are not much of a helpful ally to Anarchists.

Being against shitty tax policies, and only wanting your children to be brainwashed by Christian religious nonsense, does not make you Anarchist.

Very curious to hear your response. Thanks for this writeup!

@blakemiles84 Interesting comment. Thank you for sharing. I can write a little more detailed response to this. The short answer would be this is guilty of the No True Scotsman logical fallacy. I do not agree that being a Christian, or any other religion, invalidates one's Anarchism. On the surface it may seem so but I have spoken and interviewed many Christian Anarchists and they are as hardcore as any Atheist Anarchist you might meet, if not more so. That very little to do with their particular view on the State and universal morality.
