Anarchists?

[TomLikesGuitar]

Hi, um yeah...

Some of you seem to be a little bit too lazy to do research before you type, so here you go.

Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχίᾱ anarchíā, "without ruler") may refer to any of the following:

* "No rulership or enforced authority."[1]
* "A social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."[2]
* "Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder."[3]
* "Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere."[4]
* "Acting without waiting for instructions or official permission... The root of anarchism is the single impulse to do it yourself: everything else follows from this." [5]

There's this really cool website called Wikipedia some of you should try out.

But yeah anarchy is just one of those concepts which you grow out of when you get out of high school and into the real world.

My basic ruleset would probably seem highly anarchistic (because it - at least up to a certain scale - allows efficient order, without "commanders"). Yet, i would probably disagree with most anarchists. I do consider nationwide "coordination" necessary. I just have completely different ideas about what "role" such a coordinating body should play. So, i'm not anti-government - i'm just against the current social configuration.

In fact, i by now acknowledge the need of a coordinating body more than ever. I never really rejected it in general, but ever since the only person to ever set my philosophy checkmate was a fascist, i realized that any form of "anarchy" doesn't scale well. And that is because in small groups, you can let people be part in whatever group they want to be in (free association). But entire cities or even states, cannot just leave a country and mind their own business if they disagree. At some scale, geographical limits prohibit people from purely free association. Or in short: when you've got something as big as a country, states cannot just freely do whatever they want - they need to coordinate with the others. And when entities no longer can decide to not interact, they need to get along with each other. If they do not manage to get along with each other, the entire nation suffers -> the necessity for a consistent "we"-mentality (fascism).

For those who didnt manage to follow my train of thought: Individuality and group-identity, are not mutually exclusive. They actually depend on each other. The question is just how well this interaction is implemented.

Individuality only gets you up to a certain scale. A scale at which the groups are no longer able to not interact if they disagree. Groups as large as states, cannot just say "we disagree, therefore we will now not have anything to do with you others anymore". But specifically this possibility of noninteraction is needed for true free individualism. So, once you reach a certain scale, there needs to be a way for large groups to get along with each other, even if they disagree with each other in some aspects. Thus, the need for toplevel coordination between those large groups - which is essentially would be a "governing body". It wouldn't need to be a government "as we know it", but the need for highlevel organization is necessary. R.I.P. Anarchism.

P.S.: Notice that in all this wall of text, i never mentioned that "humans are naturally evil" - and that is because i do not believe in this shit. My rejection of anarchism doesn't depend on "humans being meanies" - rather, my rejection of pure anarchism simply is the result of physical limitations (once you reach a certain scale, there ain't no such thing as "purely free assocation" anymore).

Maybe they don't vote or choose a leader at all, maybe they just vote on what action to take. Who cares? It's still anarchy because no government is controlling everything.

That's government. Your argument seems to me to be that people are controlled by either people or government. This argument doesn't make a lot of sense, since governments are made out of people and nothing else. I—

[CRAZSPLOOOOOOOOSION]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

 

[The Stonker]

Why abolish order?
Since most of the time today it's order and law which protects the weak.
Would you like to revert back?
I didn't think so.

Anarchy is for people who don't quite understand politics.

can we please stop making assumptions like this? It would be real easy for me to say that supporting the government is for people afraid of living in the real world.
Anarchy is for me, and I do understand politics. Maybe your the one that doesn't. We do not pick our leaders, corporations do. We get to vote and when those votes do count, it's pointless because everyone you are allowed to vote for is always a liar. We have come to learn this by now, they are all liars.

Our system does not protect the weak. If you really believe that, get your head out of the TV and go out in the real world.
More goes on in the world than what you see on tv. People pulled over for no reason and being randomly searched for anything suspicious (such as books that seem slightly unpatriotic but not quite violent) and god help you if you so much as ask for a reason or tell them they need a warrant to search your vehicle.


Every day the walls are closing in around us, with every pointless law passed another freedom taken away and people like you want to mock anybody that thinks there's a problem.
I'm willing to respect your opinion, I was anyways but clearly people like you are unwilling to respect anyone elses so why should I even bother?

Oh! I can't stand democracy.
I know that I'm quite of a hippocrit for wanting freedom of speech and equal rights for all when I want to abolish your right to vote for people to rule the country.
I'm quite like Plato.
But the thing is that if you've noticed then people most of the time pick their leaders of values such as "I would drink a beer with this guy" and "he looks like a nice fella'".
But why not choose the people that have the knowledge to lead a country and are natural born leaders who have good hearts?
But on the other side you have freedom and all that, so how can we fix this?
How can we get the people that know what they're doing into control and aren't corrupted?

And of course you play that card.
Who said anything about free speech? What free speech are you talking about? A guy gets tazed on camera for asking a government official the "Wrong" question.
Democracy? It's a joke. We can't vote for anybody we want, only the ones certain people decided would be a good president. How is that democracy? It's just a dictatorship with many leaders.
We have elected leaders that have real knowledge, they screwed us. The only guy that wasn't screwing us and actually helping us was JFK, and look what happened to him.

We don't have freedom. Don't even tell me that joke, I've heard it before.

wow, I hope your being sarcastic because if you really believe that flag waving stuff you just posted...i pity you.
Yes we are so free, and we get to stay free as long as we do whatever our masters tell us.

Bwhahahaha.

I just said that we had no freedom and that in my case (Iceland)and that none of the political groups are smart enough to run a bloody country.
What I'm saying is that I would love to see a country just being lead by people that aren't of any of the usual political groups and are more of a "board" then a couple of groups with opposed opinions.
We would have a highly educated man in economics,social studies and so on.
But I despise people who look down on others.
For it is I! DRACULA!

Oh, my apologizes I think I misread your post or something.
In fact, I really don't think I really understood anything you said after that first post, but my point still stands.
You don't know every anarchist or anarchy supporter in the world so don't make ignorant assumptions like "they don't know politics" just because you don't understand that way of thinking.

I'm talking about a part of anarchists.
The people which were punks in the old days and are just there to cause a riot.
But we all know what Anarchism is.
It's when they want to abolish law and abolish the goverment, then it contradicts it self by saying that they want to run the country in some other way.
But I would love to hear how you would run a country like America in a state of anarchy.

More assumptions, how original.
I don't want to run america. This may suprise you, but your not as all knowing as you seem to think. You don't understand people as well as you think.
The punks your talking about don't even know what anarchy is, they just want to break shit. I know who your talking about, the black flag waving, cop car burning, small business destroying spoiled brats.
Sure, assume I'm just like them. I suppose using your logic I can assume you support the government (because it's so easy to figure people out that you never bothered to have a conversation with) and from that, I can say that anybody that supports the government just hates Jews. Oh but not all of them, I was just referring to that small group called the Nazis that wanted to kill the Jews for their country.

So why do you hate the jews?
I'm sure you didn't get it so I'll help, I'm using the same logic you used and applying it to you and your beliefs. Isn't that fun? I see why you would do it. Way easier than asking questions or getting to know a person, just assume you know them based on things you see online.

Godwin's law.
Something tells me that you're a troll.

But for a last statement.
I like the concept behind Anarchy but I wouldn't want it. Because I quite like having police and a functioning government.
You've proposed no arguement towards your point, only illogical attacks on the other people who are talking about anarchy and I think most of the escapist quite disagree with your opinions and anarchy in general.

Good day.

What is wrong with you? I'm the troll? I just explained to you that the comment was to prove a point.
You made an ignorant assumption about me so I did the same thing. I'm a troll for doing that? Than I suppose you are too, right?
I didn't come here to attack but your post was an obvious attack.
Go read what you posted if you don't believe me.

You said anybody that want anarchy don't understand politics. If you can ignorantly insult anybody that disagrees with you like that, how am I worse for defending my beliefs?

People like you remind me of why I want it. People like you are flooding this planet. Your not even human, your byproduct. All you do is ***** and complain and talk out of your ass.

The only thing that keeps me happy is the thought that one day every single parasite on this planet will die.

I'm sick of trying to discuss this shit with people that only want to attack. None of us will ever do anything remotely important or even helpful for this world. All I was trying to explain is that a world without borders, nations, and laws wouldn't be complete chaos. It could actually be a good thing for some people. but it's pointless because it will never happen. Revolution is dead. I'm glad your happy on this pathetic planet, at least some of you slaves are domesticated little guys. I'd rather die than live in this sick fucking world for another year.

Sick of being treated like a kid even after I got a fucking job and worked my ass off to give handouts to every asshole that asked because I'm such a fucking pushover.

I promise you guys something though, all of you. Every living person in this pathetic generation we are all a part of. Soon, when I finally end it, and I will regardless of what you smart ass pricks may be thinking, if you know it all nihilists are wrong and there really is life after death, a way to exist as energy in the universe, I swear I will give this world everything I have. I'll whisper sick things in your ears for the rest of your lives, fill your head with horrible thoughts that will never leave your mind, and cause as much suffering for this world that I can after death.

Now that's something to look forward too, fuck this childish political BS.


Sorry I even got involved, it was a pointless topic to begin with and only reminded me of why I quit dealing with other humans in the first place.

You can call me crazy and stupid if you want people, just remember that all things are connected and one day every person this fucked up species turned insane will be back in some form. Everything that is sent is also returned.

Maybe your kids (if you even have any) will end up as crazy as me, if so you know who to thank


-Demowargis-

So I'm not human?
So I'm not a homo sapiens?
You're not even making any sense.
Suddenly you've started mixing the afterlife into this discussion.
But really, ending your life is never a great decision because you don't even know what will happen to you in the future.
You might even meet the woman or if you roll on that side man that you will love.
You probably haven't lived life, because no one should end their lives, (because you sound like you want to take your life).
So even if we don't agree with each other then don't be so upset, we can always discuss this in a normal manner.

Btw.Facism in theory is good as well, might even work out if any country would try it out.

I've moved beyond this discussion. This whole thing was just another wake up call.
Don't give me that shit, I heard it all before.
" oh don't kill yourself, give it a few years and you'll find somebody that you connect with"
There is no human being on this planet that I can connect with.
I'm like an alien, I have no connection with any of you people and whenever I try to socialize all I can do is attack people.
You think I'm a troll? You think I enjoy this? I fucking hate this. I actually wanted to be a normal poster but when I see a thing or hear a thing or see a thing I can't help myself from doing certain things and it drives me fucking insane.

Well, have you checked with a psychiatrist? Because well if everything makes you angry then you should check up with a psychologist, just check they could help.
But really, just calm down and let down your defenses.
Just smile and have a nice day.

no money or need for a psycho doctor. Psychology is just another BS religion.
Faith based beliefs and assumptions.
And you still don't get it. This is my putting my defenses down. This is what I am, angry at everything but unable to do anything.
I'm done with it. Anybody that chooses to live in this world would have to be nuts.

?
Psychology isn't a religion.
And you're putting down your defenses in the wrong places.
Sorry my friend you need some help, go get some.
Btw. Before you dig your self a deeper hole then just apologize to everyone and try to see the logical fallacies which you've said here.
Because you're being kinda of a dick by saying that everyone who aren't on your side are washed up hacks.
Read your posts a bit more, you will see that you're the only one who knows better and that everyone else that don't believe the same things as you are somehow beneath you.
If you don't see that then *shrug* what ever.

I laugh at anarchy. It's a contradiction in itself. You can't 'organise' an anarchic takeover without becoming a massive hypocrite. True anarchy is chaos, complete and utter chaos.

I think that's a synonym for the word 'anarchy.' The Anarchist movement believes in giving power to people, rather than an elected government.

A government... that is elected by the people. How hard would it be to get anything done otherwise.

I'm not an anarchist, so I can't argue their theories. However I think their main argument is that, despite our government being an elected democracy, it doesn't give a voice to the ordinary person. And besides, a government only 'represents' the people who voted for it; what about the people that voted for the opposition?

Like I said, I'm not an anarchist; I just thought I'd point out the difference between actual anarchists and synonyms of the word.

That's where it falls flat on its face. If anarchy is the individual, how could anything get done if another individual disagrees with you? It seems more libertarian to me, "I can do what ever I want as long as it doesn't bother anyone else." A group of individuals would still need to organise and someone is bound to disagree with a decision and we end up back at democracy again, whereby the majority decide.

Anarchy isn't about individuals, it's about all the people working together. That's the whole point. It gives EVERYONE power, EVERYONE a voice to be heard, and EVERYONE a say in how things work.

Replying to an oxymoron, with another oxymoron, didn't really rebuke anything.

If you didn't notice it - you just basically said "Anarchy is about the GROUP, therefore it gives INDIVIDUALS power."

Anarchy neither is for the benefit of the group, nor for the benefit of the individual - it is about seeing things from the POV of the individual, while rejecting a higher level POV. This basically is similiar to "egoism" - egoism too is for neither the benefit of oneself, nor the benefit of the others - it simply is self-focussedness.

Granted, in pure theory, one could appeal to something, that not many really understand: mutualism in the shell of "coexistence". What i call coexistence can be summarized with: People interact if they agree with each other, and do not interact if they disagree with each other. While doing so, their main criterion for interaction is if the interaction would be mutually benefical.

A lot of stuff can be done with that approach. Way more than the "humans are naturally evil"-people acknodledge. Still, as i mentioned in my previous post, "coexistence" requires the freedom to not interact if one doesn't want to - thus, interaction out of free choice (free association). But once you reach a certain scale, that is not possible anymore. Entire states cannot just "go elsewhere" if they disagree with neighbouring states.

-massive multi-quote snippination-

Just. calm. down. for. a. second.

Taking this view of life can only make things worse. It will cause you to stop trying and then you'll just keep spiralling further and further into insanity, aggression and depression (Well, not actual insanity, but you know what I mean)

I can't believe I'm actually quoting Monty Python for this (and I resent the song for something it was featured on), but seriously, as Eric Idle sang, always look on the bright side of life. You got a job, well done, be glad. You got through your education, maybe with or without anything, I wouldn't know, but you got through it. Well done.

This world is grand, just stick through it. Leaving it is just a sign of weakness. Not everyone is a back-stabbing arsehole. I used to think that, but I can trust people. I still hate/resent most of the people I hang around with, but I live with it, it shouldn't concern me when there's better things to think about. (wait, grand? I'm not even a stereotypical Irishman)

Sure, I'm only 17, a fresh-faced (well, for a teenage boy anyway) youngster full of happiness and optimism, but that's because I can still think about what's good. Concentrating on the bad will only make things worse.

Oh, but psychology is slightly bullshit, with my friend's mum's job consisting of asking junkies "How does that make you feel?"

I never said anything about people that disagree with me. I'm talking about all of you. You, me, everybody else. It's one big annoying useless pile of flesh that needs to be burn off of this once great planet.
believe whatever you want. People like me just need to let our our emotions and take some pills and we get all better. Your government will never betray your or slaughter a large number of us for some insane reason.
We will never be locked up for no reason.
Life is super super important and should be cherished.

Sorry but I can't buy that shit anymore. I'm done with the charade and I'm done discussing this with somebody that still has not fucking clue what I'm trying to explain.

Once again, I never said I was better than anybody. Of course you have to convince yourselves that I do think this because it makes you feel better about your reality.
If I'm a narcissist (As you try to make me out to be) then you can go to sleep soundly knowing that everything I said was silly make believe.
Then when it really happens you'll block it out, pretend it's just a temporary thing like they told you it would be.
Then it never ends, and your all in a prison. The only thing I have over all of you is that I'll be dead by the time it happens.
Nice talking to yas.

Alas, There rows the boat of sanity out of it's port.

Good night and farewell my silly friend, learn to smile for a while.

Just. calm. down. for. a. second.

Taking this view of life can only make things worse. It will cause you to stop trying and then you'll just keep spiralling further and further into insanity, aggression and depression (Well, not actual insanity, but you know what I mean)

I can't believe I'm actually quoting Monty Python for this (and I resent the song for something it was featured on), but seriously, as Eric Idle sang, always look on the bright side of life. You got a job, well done, be glad. You got through your education, maybe with or without anything, I wouldn't know, but you got through it. Well done.

This world is grand, just stick through it. Leaving it is just a sign of weakness. Not everyone is a back-stabbing arsehole. I used to think that, but I can trust people. I still hate/resent most of the people I hang around with, but I live with it, it shouldn't concern me when there's better things to think about. (wait, grand? I'm not even a stereotypical Irishman)

Sure, I'm only 17, a fresh-faced (well, for a teenage boy anyway) youngster full of happiness and optimism, but that's because I can still think about what's good. Concentrating on the bad will only make things worse.

Oh, but psychology is slightly bullshit, with my friend's mum's job consisting of asking junkies "How does that make you feel?"

I quit the job a while ago.
Made me unfocused and confused and depressed all the time more than usual people keep telling me that stuff yet I see none of it
eventually the same thing keeps happening over and over and im done listening to the same life is precious bullshit because thats all it is bullshit
wealldieanyways

Jesus, you sound like my friends, they're fucking downers an' all.

Yes, we all die anyways. But why worry? It's inevitable, but it can happen any time. Rather (3 tries for a capital R then) than moping around waiting for it, do something else. Play a game, watch a movie, poke a gimp in the face with a coffee machine, I don't know, just accept it and move on.

Oh, and your stuff here

Seriously? You believe your country will slaughter you for no reason? What on earth have you been taking? Seriously, there are laws against both genocide and drug use.

You want anarchy? Go to Africa, where your wife gets gang-raped while they hack your head off and conscript your children, because your grandmother's tribe has a different name.


Anarchy is a horrible joke that teenagers cling to because "the man like, puts them down, and stuff."

Again, that's not the definition of anarchy. It's meant to be a political ideology, not slaughtering people for being different. It's like how people confuse communism with tyrany and gemocide.

Well, it's difficult to argue against someone who is basically saying "Individuality - fine. But remember: We're all stuck on this planet together - no one can just leave to another star system if he/she disagrees with others... so, there goes your "interaction out of free choice for mutual benefit". Like it or not, there are limits to "ignoring each other, if one doesn't agree with each other." At some scale, people afffect each other, and there is no place elsewhere to go avoid each other. Alpha Centauri may seem like a nice place, but it's rather far away
