Which is self-referential (it basically says that even anarchism will oppress).
so7cial7ism (ssh-lzm) n. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
Pick one, stick to it.
Which raises an interesting question. How do you get everyone to behave the same way with the same levels of consideration under anarchism without some sort of universal standard (a central organization)? Who gets to decide it? What happens if somebody decides they don't want to play nice? How do you pay for it? -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind. Bumper Sticker The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
