RE: "STATISM" ( @tjkirk ) VS. ANARCHISM ( @adamkokesh )

Oh, I liked this one.
RIP in peace original DPP.
I cannot say I agree with one side over another, and I have strong objections to dichotomising Statism vs Anarchism.
Although that depends on definitions one uses.
I would say, based on the characterisations I've seen from people over the years, I'm definitelly neither a statist nor anarchist.

I hope to see some more up to date debate involving you, TJ.

Sort:  

Anarchy does not mean you have to be an anarchist. It just means you can't tell me what I can and cannot do.

I was saying that I reject dichotomy of anarchism and statism. You're not either one or another.
As for whether you need to be an anarchist in anarchy...
If you're not an anarchist in anarchy, sooner or later you will not have anarchy.
Because non-anarchist will naturally form systems of hierarchy.
