    Actually anarchy and anarchist are not one and the same. Anarchists have devolved from their predecessors to simply people who say "fuck the system".
    Fucking the system is exactly what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. Stupid people not happy with one leader ask for dozens of them, then when that dozen doesn't seem right they ask for more local leaders, and when that doesn't seem right they ask for the system to help all.


    Fact of the matter. Anarchism is the simple law that you are your own destiny and its not truly felt until you remove the government and people have to live with the decisions they have made. In the case of the modern anarchist, their lack of decision-making-skills will become far more obvious.
    I hope that day comes. For both sides of the stupid argument.

    Is it coming soon? Will I need my own pitchfork or will they be provided....

    There are a lot of common terms that have other widely accepted meanings outside of their grammatical definitions....

    Not at all. Everyone's rights are equally important. As long as those with no principles don't stop anyone else living by theirs then I don't see a problem.

    As I said, do what you like as long as you don't impede anyone else doing likewise.

    The internet is very ordered actually. Even forums are more strongly policed than real world discussions, you can even have an Orwellian moment and delete comments and identities, very east Germany.....

    Then it all breaks down of course. I haven't really thought about this enough to sort that bit out yet.

    A forum may be controlled but the internet is still anarchic.

    There are still rules and responses ...and basic forms of censure.

    Site rules may vary between sites ... but there is always someone that controls what is presented ... and remain visible. And/or ... who sees it.

    No, anarchy is exactly what I think it is.
