anarchism

Most people who think "anarchy" is cool don't even know that it is, in fact, a sociopolitical philosophy. They think it just means they get to do whatever they want.

Anarchism at its core is based on the presumption that all human beings, when left with no ruler, will peaceful naturally live in peace and harmony. This philosophy is entirely naive.

Democratic Anarchy

The idea that we should elect as many anarchists as possible so that they may ween the people off the need for government entirely. Since democratic socialists believe it is possible to vote ourselves into a socialist society, democratic anarchists believe it is possiblento vote ourselves into an anarchist society. Like parents raising their children to be self sufficient adults, it is a democratic anarchist’s duty to encourage people to operate on a person to person basis without any top-down force occurring. Libertarian socialists call themselves LibSocs, and democratic anarchists call themselves DemAns.
Libertarians are weird, they are always inventing their own ideologies. Now they have this ideology called “democratic anarchy”. They seriously think they’re going to elect a democratic anarchist as President some time by the end of the century.

anarchist

A good idea, in theory, like socialism, christianity and democracy. However, like those others, it falls down in practice, because it ignores human nature. Human nature is not to be nice to each other, it is to get a big stick, whack the other person over the head and take all his stuff as that is easier than getting your own stuff.
Terence is an anarchist and wears black clothes and big boots so as to not conform to the stereotype of all anarchists wearing black clothes and big boots. We felt obliged to teach him about human nature, so beat 7 bells out of him. Why? Because we can!
