    Anarchists...

    ...haven't posted OT for a while, but I missed it...was doing some lurking and reading about Raisethefist.com

    Anarchists.

    Interesting notion.

    At the bottom of their mirror site, is the phrase "f**k the law."

    I wonder if they realize that the laws they are so quick to be done with are based on social folkways and mores that serve as the basis......the glue for civilization itself. Given their name...."anarchists," you'd be inclined to *think* they understood what they were saying, but....I dunno.

    So yes...down with the law! (nevermind that some laws are actually quite good and helpful!) Down with civilization! (without which, among other things there would be no internet for them to rant on).

    Nahhh....I doubt they've given it that much thought. I like these guys tho....they're good for at least ten minutes of amusement.

    I don't think anarchists really know how this world works. It's hard to argue with them since they lack the same basis of thought. The idea itself is absurd, but I think we need someone to question the system because some of us are just too blind to see the downsides....most of the time, they're just funny

      Anarchy is an Utopia. They should maybe read Proudon (If I don't mispell his name).

        There will be a Global Economic Forum in NY. Anarcists will make it violent, these people are like animals. NYDP has warned these people.....so I would not be suprised if we saw some dead anarchists, if they try to hurt people again like Goteburg and Italy.


        It is sad the way people think about somthings. Especially Anarchy, the lack of a goverment, law enforcement.....everything.


        Which promotes mindless destructution and mob mentality.

            'nother odd thought:

            Isn't the notion of Anarchists gathering in an organized group to protest...ANYTHING somewhat of a paradox?



            It would seem they would...you know...shy away from such organization....organization sufficient to protest something would imply an inherent structure...leadership ::GASP:: RULES!

              most of the anarchists are a bunch upper class white boy college students on the West Coast, who have way too much time on there hands.

              Most dont know what the **** there talking about.


              They call themselves "Anarchists" But ask them what they stand for, they dont have a ****in clue.

              There only goal is simple: Mindless destruction like in Seattle, Goteburg, Canada, I could go on.


              And people on this forum will defend that.

                Anarchists are not opposed to the concept of a "State" per se, Vel.

                The Anarchist version of a state would be that of Catalonia as it existed during the Spanish Civil War. What I find odd is that they would choose as thier "utopia," so to speak, a state that lasted barely two years and who was completely and uterly crushed due to its ineffective leadership.

                    ::nodding:: Oh...I know what they supposedly stand for, Dino...I just find it amusing.

                    People organize.

                    We are tribal in our essential nature.

                    So anarchists attempt (completely unsuccessfuly) to deny their own inherent natures.

                    That's amusing to me...

                      Like that moron from raisethefist. Who spouts his hatred towards capitalism, Greed, and "Oppression".


                      Yet he has 12 servers? Is that not greed? In the pursuit of capital?


                      plus, a true anarchist knows that property doesnt exist. Nobody owns anything.....everybody owns everything



                      Ya..if theres one group that should be cracked down its anarchists. They are like the Nazi's too much.

                        Hypothetical question:

                        What would happen if the US Department of Bureaucratic Redundancy Department hired an Anarchist as its director?

                        Would that be like matter and anti-matter meeting, causing a heinous explosion?

                        Or, would it create a paradox that would simply cause the Universe as we know it to wink out of existence?

                          Wow, this thread is quite amazing, really. A bunch of people who don't understand an ideology, talking about how those people don't really understand what they are about.

                            Not that there's really all that much to understand.

                            From Webster's online:
                            Anarchist:
                            1 : one who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power

                            2 : one who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy; especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order

                            Seems pretty straightforward to me....

                              I believe people have an inherent desire to own, the desire for capital is a fundamental part of human nature. The socialists anarchists are fighthing against their own nature(not all anarchists are against private ownership). But I want to own and I openly admit it
