Honestly every time I hear someone say anarchy is good or a better system than anything currently being implemented what I really hear is a fourteen year old kid screaming: "I'm sick of these rules man! Down with the system! I wanna stay up until 10 and I can stay home by myself and rules are stupid man!"

I cannot take the pro-anarchist argument seriously. :meh:

Revolution, please. :rofl:
Your revolutions have ultimately led China at best and Cuba at worst, and unfortunately I don't see any clear distinction from the two other than that China is larger and Cuba is lapsing back into the room of the same choices that China had been required to make before. Also, it seems to be having a lot of bad luck for being too chill, and being too close to the United States.


I wouldn't call China the best example of communism. Pseudo-capitalist today, and back when it actually was a true communist state, it was just as wacko as the Soviets.

Oh god, please tell me about a successful anarchists revolution. Cuba's problem is not in the government itself but the Cuban embargo.

But seriously, no.


No, don't be like that. My tribalism is the tribalism of the self, and the eliminate of the concepts such as "war" and "pride".
Moderate anarchism, which posits that all individuals are about as human as each other, is at the core of civil rights. Everything else, such as civil development, dedicated to improving conditions for all individuals, follows. Without "moderate anarchy", we'll have had several Roman Empires fighting each other until the sun explodes, because weapons are the only things that are necessary to ensure glory and order.


Nature woo?

Woo, woo, woo!

I never heard of moderate anarchism before. I thought all anarchists are radicals?

No, it doesn't. Their rule does not cover the entire nation.
Cooperatives and self-employment.

Bullshit. They still have managers and bosses. They still have a hierarchy. Except I do not claim that it is not anarchy. Because I understand what anarchy is.

I don't have any particular fondness for Anarchism, but I can't say I'd hate living under it 100% of the time. I don't see the State as a morally useful End in and of itself, but I don't see a lack of State as such either. Any government -or lack thereof- that can best protect the members of that society while also respecting democratic rule and as much freedom as possible gets my support. However, I haven't seen any examples of Anarchy ever accomplishing that in a way that democratic states can't do better in the real world.

I also don't buy into the "tax-as-theft" thing, since I tend towards Social-Contractesque thinking for that kind of stuff.

As a quasi-anarchist: there's no God and the Bible is an Iron Age fairy tale no self-respecting 21st century person should look for as any remotely meaningful moral or life guide whatsoeverfuck.

But I digress, also, I respect religion as long as it does respect me. The flavor that you advocate doesn't, though.
