I’m a couple of short steps from being an anarchist… and i’m not talking about internet anarchy. Ridding ourselves of a central, oppressive, and authoritarian form of government, distant from the lives of most citizens and one that keeps demonstrating it’s own many flaws almost on a daily basis sounds great to me. Those who want to bring self-governance back to local communities in a democratic form where everyone’s voice is heard, are anarchists, certainly semi-anarchists, whether they admit to it or not. It’s not about mob rule. It’s about people rule… people as a collective. Most anarchists, btw, respect the rights of private property as well as a free market economy. Sure. There are more than a few aspects of anarchy that might seem difficult to implement, even unworkable, especially from the POV of security, but solutions to those problems could be worked out.
