RE: Dear Anarchists, Why shouldn't I cringe when you tell me you're an anarchist?

in #steemit8 years ago

Anarchists are people who believe in freedom, in peace, in leaving each other alone. The images that come to mind for you are, as you said, based in media. Media that was created & mass-distributed by people who are very much NOT anarchists (6 corporations all together), people whose very positions of "power" and "authority" are based on the threat of violence, limiting the freedom of others, and trying to control other peoples' lives. The "anarchists" that are shown throwing bricks through windows and such have almost always been on the government payroll.
