how much do you agree with this statement?
"The ever growing power of a soulless political bureaucracy which supervises and safeguards the life of man from the cradle to the grave is putting ever greater obstacles in the way of the solidaric co-operation of human beings and crushing out every possibility of new development. A system which in every act of its life sacrifices the welfare of large sections of the people, yes, of whole nations, to the selfish lust for power and the economic interests of small minorities must of necessity dissolve all social ties and lead to a constant war of all against all. This system has been merely the pacemaker for the great intellectual and social reaction which finds its expression today in modern Fascism, far surpassing the obsession for power of the absolute monarchy of past centuries and seeking to bring every sphere of human activity under the control of the state. Just as for the various systems of religious theology, God is everything and man nothing, so for this modern political theology, the state is everything and the man nothing. And just as behind the "will of God" there always lay hidden the will of privileged minorities, so today there hides behind the "will of the state" only the selfish interest of those who feel called to interpret this will in their own sense and to force it upon the people."

Sounds like something Adolf Hitler, Al Gore or John Kerry might say[:0]. Possibly Slick Willie Clinton might have said it between sessions with Monica[:p]. But in the final analysis George Bush made have written it at Yale when he was attempting to sound like a Democrat.[}:)]Beach 0 -
Anarchosyndicalism by Rudolf Rocker
Why exactly do you consider yourself an anarchist? And what are your beliefs as an anarchist?0 -
you googled it!
anarchism is separate from all other systems in the fact that it creates an environment in which every individual can find his or her own place in the world.
and the structuralization of society as a whole is broken down to its bare minimums.
anarcho-syndicalism is one,of many, fare ways for people to organize themselves to produce the necessary commodities their communities need to survive and function peacefully and happily. here is the link to the rest of the article if anyone is bored/interested.

So in other words, you would like to see society become more self sufficient. I can dig on that, but ive grown accustomed to the modern day conveniences. Not to say i couldnt make it with out them. 0 -
its a common miss conception that an anarchist society wouldn't have them
name a product you would like to keep around, be it a car or a type of soap. the infrastructure and technology to produce these items exists. these things would not just fall into a black hole,0 -
As defined, it leads to only two possible conclusions; Slavery or anarchy. While neither is ideal, I would choose anarchy over slavery in all but name. 0 -
