Clearly the most superior culture on earth is American, more specifically the moderately assimilated Jewish immigrant variety as found in middle class neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York circa 1950 to 1980.

Nah, since you can verify it by picking up a book. And that wasn't to prove anarchism works, but that there's no good reason to think it can't work.Is it like the time that you call upon Civil war Cataluna to prove that anarchism works?
If your idea of progress is subjagation to the state and capital, I suppose not.But Anarchism is not progressive

My point was that this is a very particular case. There are much more important movements that anarchism that the enlightment has spawned. No offence.

Well he did say all progressive politics. A single case would refute the assertion.

There are probably lots of cases, but I'm not well versed in non-Western philosophy."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Re: Your culture sucks, mine is better
You could look at it like that.Originally posted by Vesayen
she then discussed various groups like sub saharan african tribes and "native" brazilians-and how their way of life is sadly dissapearing because the new generation decides it would rather work a cash register at Sears then run around the rain forest half naked and die of typhoid at the ripe old age of 35.........
Then again, on the flip side; native south americans have been ****ed by the Portuguese and the Spanish, ****ed by their own governments, ****ed by the loggers, the miners, and everyone else who thought they could make a buck out of the Jungle.
As a result, they've been denied any opportunity to develop their culture. What was there has been uniformly destroyed.
Now, they're being absorbed into mainstream society as an illiterate underclass. And the underclass career stream in Brazil is already fully booked out. Anyone want to make a guess at the life expectancy in the shanty towns?
Overall, it's a sorry way to destroy a culture.
Ramo,
Interesting statement - I can't even decide if I agree or disagree. Care to justify it?Taoism is basically anarchism theifiedComment

If you're in one culture, judging another then OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO JUDGE YOURS BETTER THAN ANOTHER AND FAULT THEIRS!!!
Its called subjectivity!!! 
Objectively, it sucks. Fortunately there are people like me around who can at least try to emulate some semblance of objectivity. 
leftwingers hug muslim terrorism How exactly? Tell me how my berating of terrorism (equal to my berating of its causes ) is hugging terrorists?
And don't spout some Orwellian rubbish. I know the quote you're thinking of, and the man has got his subjectivies and objectivies mixed up. The quote makes no sense (the quote in question is the one about pacifists being objectively pro-nazi).

Excellent article, Siro.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Anarchism doesn't come from China. They have similar ideas, but they came from different well-springs.Originally posted by Ramo
