Anarchists have been smeared as "mad bombers" who would destroy society. Anarchists have been smeared as people who support chaos. The chaos comes from the state. The mad bombers come from the state. Look at all of the government bombing going on in the world today. Look at all the chaos in the world today. This situation all comes from government.

Not gonna wade into the deep, - at this moment would be satisfied to have the "assassination opp" fully exposed, and that campaign ended. But - prob. as usual will never be resolved.

Anarchists do Not abhor all rule. Anarchism simply means local rule. Get your shit straight.

You are completely wrong about real anarchy, but then that is the norm of those who have no real concept of anarchy.

If i owned a public swimming pool I would have rules..no diving in the shallow end..no running..no swimming under the diving area perhaps..but then as my mother used to say I’m splitting hairs with a meat axe..my definition of anarchism is pretty simple..no government..that’s it..WE will sort out the rest

Gordon, I am an anarchist, I abhor ALL rule. Do you enjoy people telling you what you can and can't do in your daily life? Do you enjoy being taxed? regulated? oppressed?

You don't need government to outlaw thievery and murder. You don't need government to build roads or anything else.

Sounds like you may be a minarchist instead of an anarchist.

Minarchism is like a cancer surgeon who removes only 3/4 of the tumor, writes the phrase 'local rule' on the remainder, sews it back up and tells his patient, "You're good to go!"
