Most ideologies exist only on the pages of their "manifestos".
They don't translate from print to real life because there always seem to be those who appropriate an ideology in order to justify their rule. And once they've taken power, the ideology is whatever they decide it is.
Christianity is an ideology too, and you can find people justifying all sorts of things while pointing to a passage somewhere that, according to them, gives them very specific instructions.
Not to single out Christianity, they're all guilty of it.
Shit, the more I read here and the longer I spend commenting, the more I realize...I'm a Fucking Anarchist.
I spelled that right didn't I?
"anarchist" and not "antichrist"
Heheh.... welcome to the club. It is an epiphany when one realizes what Anarchy and Anarchism truly means as opposed to what Road Warrior, the Media, and those Antifa Black Bloc thugs would have us believe it is. :)
It's been a long road.
But I had a shift in viewpoint when I realized my kids are going to have to live in the world we leave them.
Luckily, they're both pretty much immune to the hypnotism of a waving flag.
