I think this is very important...
anarchism is unique to each individual person
Because by "definition" I'm an anarchist, but I'm not the anarchist people think of when they hear the word... Like I'm not out there burning flags and engaging in terrorism like lots of people think anarchist do, yes some do those things, but not most by a long shot.
I'd bet most of the planet's population are true anarchist, with the exception of the elite, and don't even realize it.
It's been one of those words that's been stained by propaganda, just like conspiracy theorist which wasn't considered to be a bad thing until propaganda was released in the 1960s by the CIA to discredit those who questioned the Warren Commission... they were obviously attempting to cover their tracks, and were successful in doing so because still to this day no one has been held responsible for murdering our president... you know, the one president who wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds”.
yup..my point exactly
I'm an individual
I'm not defined by group think
I think that a state of anarchy is a breeding ground for radicalization due to the frustration with a complete lack of consensus with everything from support for an army for protection to what day does the garbage get picked up. The classic reference to herding cats or crickets comes to mind.
there IS no 'state of anarchy'
anarchy has nothing to do with 'state'
anarchists...like me...can live fairly well IN a state.
(anarchists don't band together to MAKE states)
and Anarchists can live perfectly fine alone.
put five anarchists in a room and you'll find six or seven different opinions...
(yeah I know...kinda strange huh?)
No, not strange at all. In my experience, when faced with a problem, people who know what they are doing will always have different solutions to the same problem. You would think just the opposite. When I said "state" above I meant condition.
what condition your condition is in?
well stated!
