Democracy is the true enemy. Anarchists fight the true enemy.
Oh pooh. Spare us the spin doctor diatribe... Anarchist are interested in protecting only their own person and possessions over and above all other factors. Furthermore, it in no way protects from oppression at the individual or social level. The only thing it does is guarantee that I will have to spend a great deal of my income on protection, most folks have something better to do with their time than participate in a system that believes the height of personal achievment is to sit around and stroke your gun looking for trespassers on their property. Try explaining how an anarchy is going to better protect my right to free speech or the economic and social stability required to carry on a business? Democracy <> Mob Rule Something you just don't seem to get. A good measure of the oppressive level in a given government is to examine who owns property versus who manages it. Type: Owner: Manager: Communism Govt. Govt. Fascist Indiv. Govt. Democracy Indiv. <> Shared Indiv. <> Shared Anarchy N/A N/A Changes in this relationship seem to be a good measure. For example consider the level of change in ownership rights before and after the changes in the confiscation laws. If one thinks of speech as a commodity this also holds. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
