Pick your flavor of Anarchy.
 

There are a noticeable amount of anarchists on these boards, so I was wondering what everyone's anarchist lean is. I tried to make them broad, but I encourage expanding on your vote.

I personally favor Anarchist Communism strongly, though if Anarchist Syndicalism were to become the M.O. of society, I wouldn't lose much sleep.

Not a good idea.

I voted other anarchism, for anarcho pacifism. Although I also like anarchist privitism as well.

Any of these could be anarcho-pacifism. How the fuck are you so obtuse?

Which, the thread or Anarcho-syndicalism?

Stormtrooper, you bumbling idiot, anarchist primitivism is the belief we should destroy all technology and go back to being hunter-gatherers.

I know that. It's not too bad of an idea. Not something that extreme, but still we could live without some technology.

And don't call me a bumbling idiot, it hurts my feelings! Lol.

The thread.

1) For a person who loves cars as much as you do, you should hate Anarcho-Primitivism.
2) It's a horrible idea. Do you have any idea of what madness will ensue if people go from such overly complex social structures to hunter-gatherer societies? Imagine 6 - 7 billion people walking around aimless and hungry. The only way we have enough food to support the enormous population we have is with planning, not with people just arbitrarily wandering around.

JCC: I thought it would lead to interesting discussions about the different schools of anarchist thought, such as the ones you, Alan, and I had about Anarcho-Communism/Federalism/Syndicalism.

I know what it entales for fuck's sake. I'm not not a retard foaming at the fucking mouth here.

And yes we do need planning, so I retract my previous statement about liking it.

Yeah, aight.

Fuck you. You and everybody else here is a fucking prick.

Well, at least I'm not not a retard.

How can I be retarded? You know nothing about me at all, other than the persona I choose to convey on these boards.

You're shooting in the dark here, from the hip too. If you were to meet me, then you could make an educated guess. But now, you are uniformed about the REAL LIFE me.

Good grief, do you know how much you sound like an angsty highschool teen here?

"Yo so I think we should get rid of government without any plans of what to do for the future. This is a good idea."

Sure we are. Sex is the greatest pleasure in this world by far.

He's never even met me and he thinks I'm a prick. I'm not sure whether to be proud or offended.

So far as anarchy goes.... My ideal society is similar to that of the egalitarian anarchist society of Anarres in The Dispossessed, but with constant revolution of ideas to avoid the tyranny of the majority that stifled much independent thought in the Anarran society. Ursula K LeGuin is known mostly as a fantasy author, but I find her theoretical political science fiction to be far more interesting.

But between here and there, and what with the lack of a handy nearby inhabitable planet for anarchists to colonise and create a quasi-utopian society on, I'll stick with urging the current UK society toward socialism. Socialism as a safety net, where government exists as a means of distribution of resources and supporting those who need it- to fund, train and supply groups that work better on a country-wide scale, such as unemployment benefit, the NHS, fire and police services, etc. We're not in a position for sudden revolution, as the concept of society has been heavily damaged by Thatcher. We need to reclaim and reinforce community identity, in part by devolving power and involving the individual citizen as much as possible wherever possible. Only when the concept of community involving everyone has been re-established have we a chance of actual anarchy.

I've found myself recently leaning away from traditional Communism toward Anarcho-Communism, so that one.

Anarcho-Primitivist.

MIW, the one whom I assume is your girlfriend, looks a lot like my sister, it's kinda creepy...

I wouldn't exactly say this thread is pointless, but the general seems a bit like contradiction...nevertheless I chose Green Anarchism even though I need to work on my self-awareness and faithfulness to both sides of the spectrum.

I'd either have to Go for syndicalist or primitivist. Even though I like the primitivist ideology more, I'm gonna have to vote syndicalist, because it's most feasible imo.

I could never be a primitivist, I'm too much of a techie.

I could never be a primitivist, I'm too clever.

What the fuck? Why are so many people primitivists? You like the idea of being anarchists, but are just incapable of imagining a stateless society that isn't a fucking neolithic?
