you’re an anarcist? in what way do you mean?
Discussion
Anarcho capitalist most correctly describes my anarchism. And less emphasis on the -ism : I've heard the priests' argument against all isms, and I agree, though I don't agree that that should entail a blind faith in their particular brand of... ism... Lol.
Anarchy just means no rulers. As the phrase goes, "no rulers, not no rules."
Its really just respect... I don't violate your rights, and I expect not to have my rights violated. That means theft is intolerable ; property should be inviolable ; participation should be consensual and contractual - and all of that means 'capitalism.' But since isms are bad, "free market" may be better.
yeah, that idea of “no rulers” is turd in the anarcist’s punch bowl.
it’s a logically invalid anthropology: what it means to be human, what a human being is
you cannot make the individual prime
the individual is only coherent as a concept under an umbrella of social relations.
man is intersubjective
so necessarily we exist in a hierarchy
and the hierarchy means someone is on top, what is that if not a “ruler”?
other anarcists describe an aversion to non-voluntary relations of power, and since those relations are literally baked into human existence, the goal of getting rid of them is another way of saying they want to remove the stain of human nature.
it’s just not a valid account if reality.
it’s just another version of “wouldn’t it be nice if reality wasn’t reality”
don’t take my word for it.
do the logic yourself
following the truth leads to the same destination
The same argument can be used against Christianity - trying to wipe away the stain of sin is absurd, since sin is literally the disease of human nature.
An ideal is not invalid because its difficult - being difficult is what makes it worthy of being an ideal.
Besides, anarchism has already been figured out, and sporadically implemented. The American Constitution is an example of anarchism in the real world. Should we abandon it completely, now that oligarchs control the government?
not trying to scrub anything out of nature. which is what gnostic thought attempts.
it’s just dumb
there is no point engaging with you, u have no interest in principled thought.
As Aristotle would say, from this point on, you are but a plant.
