    Neither were the people who developed anarchism, hence it is an enlightenment philosophy.

      Anarchism doesn't come from China. They have similar ideas, but they came from different well-springs.
      What kind of anarchism?

        I suppose some modern anarchists might be influenced by Taoism, but the founders certainly weren't.

          I'm a libertarian communist, which is probably one of the most capitalist societies you can get (aka right wing liberal), but is technically a form of anarchism, although I suppose many anarchists would view me as a bit of a sell out, but then can go and destroy some institutions, I don't care!

                I thought you said you only performed Jewish hijacks on religion threads.

                        This is a civ site, right? Clearly, the superior culture is the one that dominates the world or gets to Alpha Centauri first.

                          I only respect a culture if I find it morally "up to par" with my own morals. Live and let live, I say... but **** with me and die.
                          To us, it is the BEAST.

Objectively, it sucks. Fortunately there are people like me around who can at least try to emulate some semblance of objectivity.



                              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). Foolish.

                                F'r instance, Taoism is basically anarchism theified.
