RE: Don't follow me, I'm lost

in #anarchism8 years ago

@stupidteenboy, interesting blog and podcast.
I'm not trying to be a part of any party or ideology. I included this under anarchism because I'm sympathetic to some things people who've called themselves "anarchists" say - most importantly, that decentralization of power is beneficial and that individuals are the highest authority on themselves and their own lives.

Some quotes from your article:

For any society to survive some natural resources must become human property one way or the other. Yet despite this obvious fact of life, the infantile anarchist worldview holds that property ownership is the greatest evil.

Anarchists insist that property must be owned by all people equally and the use of property must be democratically decided by society as whole.

This couldn't be further from what I think. You seem to be talking about communists. This is reasonable:

but that doesn't mean I agree with Chomsky's visions for society, the actions of the Spanish militants mentioned in the article, or all the "anarchist FAQ" stuff.

Actually, the article is spot-on about how communism often comes from a lofty, intellectual place but it creates a state that enslaves people.
I'm interested in political decentralization and trying to figure out how to achieve it.

@edgeland Alright... I thought that the anarchists had found steemit (If you have ever talked to a true anarchist you will know that they are no different from communists)
and when i saw the "anarchist" tag i made some post saying that anarchists (an example was you) need to be stopped
