It is now the time for anarchism isn't it?

It is now the time for anarchism isn't it?

The need for anarchism has never been more obviously important. Anarchism not anarchy.

Anarchy, or actually anarchism, predates punk rock by several decades and centuries.

By definition, I am conservative and so-called conservative Republicans are not, they are in fact, everything but conservative. Conservatism means less government, Thoreau said in Civil Disobedience, "I heartily accept the motto,

"I heartily accept the motto, `That government is best which governs least`; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--`That government is best which governs not at all`; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have."

Checkout the Spanish civil war on youtube and you will see some interesting stuff. Look up anarchy and anarchism there too.

You will see from the Spanish civil war, anarchist speaking, you will see anarchists in their 60s and 70s speaking of the Spanish Civil War. The combatants in that war were the monarchy, Communists, and anarchists. For 3 years in Spain anarchism existed. Specifically anarcho-syndicalism. Anarcho-syndicalists believe in labor unions and worker owned factories. In the anarchist regions of Spain there were worker owned factories, and no money, there was barter. Apparently, that is what I am, an anarcho-syndicalist. Though, not 100% pure to that. I am an anarchist without adjectives, got that one from youtube from Brainpolice, look up his videos too, he is a bit more for the so-called freemarket, but he is an anarchist without adjectives, so, he tolerates and respects the other anarchists and their adjectives.

Here is what I'd like to see, worker owned factories/businesses, with barter, but not absolute barter. Play with the surrounding money systems as long as they exist. But, hoping you can predict and manage the abolition of money, and convert enough if not all of it to real estate and other goods, before the money concept vanishes. Keep the ownership as long as that concept exists, to keep it out of the hands of the greedy. Practically, we can use money to abolish it, if there are ever enough millionaire and/or billionaires who can keep their greed in balance. Though, currently, most super wealthy buy into and play along with the delusions of the system. No telling when enough people as in Thoreau's words, are ready for a "government" that governs not at all, I believe it may happen in my life time, and I'm 43, so if you're younger than I, you have a lot to look forward to, and I in the next life..

Being anarchists, but fighting a war, the Spanish anarchists, had no draft, but always had soldiers to fight when needed.

It might also be interesting when you realize that George Orwell also fought with the Spanish anarchists in this war.

If you are interested in peace and/or active in the peace movement, I might add that, government is the primary cause of war, and religion too. I heard John Lennon singing Imagine, as I finished that sentence. :-)

Also, when you go to youtube to look up all the stuff I mentioned up there, also look up Emma Goldman.

How might we achieve this beautiful world?

    There is a great deal of misunderstanding of the nature

    of anarchism.

    Anarchists (also known as libertarians or libertarian

    socialists, in the original sense of socialism as worker-

    ownership-and-control of the means of production)

    oppose illegitimate authority and hierarchy, and therefore

    oppose capitalism and the state; anarchists do not oppose

    all organization: anarchists favor voluntary, non-

    hierarchical, self-organization. Anarchists do not oppose

    all rules and laws; anarchists oppose rules and laws

    imposed involuntarily by illegitimate authorities, such

    as the state, and favor voluntarily-agreed-upon rules and

    laws.

    Actually, Orwell did not fight in an anarchist unit.

    He fought with an independent socialist militia, and had friends in the pseudo-Trotskyist POUM (Party of Marxist Unification), a group that foolishly tried to split the difference between the Stalinists and the independent leftists.

    His observation of the fascists' behavior, along with watching the Stalinists actually turning their backs on the fascist animals in order to attack independent leftists, is what led him to the incorrect conclusion that the Stalinists were as bad as the Nazis.

    Read his book "Homage to Catalonia." He had admiration for the courage and voluntary discipline of the anarchists, but Eric Blair (Orwell's real name) was no anarchist.

    Oh, and my answer is - "No, it is not time." Anarchism is not a viable political philosophy in the modern industrialized world. Ultimately, anarchism helps the rich.

    I'm with you, but it will be hard to convince world leaders to imagine no possessions. It's a shame, too, because without possessions, you are free.

    Not the right time yet.

    It will be in 2050, about. Then, once a certain group of people are outnumbered and ourgunned, it will be la fête de la grand pute!

    No - anarchy has never worked. But, if you're so fond of it why don't you move to Somalia and practice it there? Somalia was recently identified as the closest thing to a pure and practical anarchy as has existed in modern times.

    Have fun and keep smiling!!
