You need to get back on your medications. But thanks for helping with my defense: "Tim Im posting articles under your name at Indymedia." Persecutor: "Mr. May, did you write these words?" Me: "I don't know. Other people post things under my name. I really can't say for sure whether I wrote those words. What did the digital signature say?" (Note in general: Even without the forgeries from Detweiler, and now this admission from "mattd," I expect that if asked if I wrote something I would say "I don't know." Without checking my own archives, it would be hard to know if something attributed to me was actually written by me, was a clever forgery, or was a satirical forgery. It's why digital signatures, with flaws of their own, exist. And it's why I don't sign. A signature is giving away something of value, to a prosecutor in this case.) --Tim May "That government is best which governs not at all." --Henry David Thoreau

Anarcho capitalism corresponds to what any normal person would call anarchy -- see for example my web page "Brief explanation of anarcho capitalism" http://www.jim.com/anarcho-.htm Explanations of "anarcho" socialism are evasive, euphemistic and full of equivocations. When they go into detail, for example par-econ, they describe in pleasant sounding words a system more centralized and authoritarian in form and theory than Stalin's was in form and theory, and often more centralized and authoritarian even in theory than Maoism was in actual practice. If we go back to before 1936 there were various unclear, confused, self contradictory, but undeniably sincere proposals as to how to implement anarcho socialism. Then disaster struck. They actually had a go at it, with entirely predictable results. The contradiction between socialism and anarchism was demonstrated with the usual rivers of blood. Some became disillusioned. Some reinterpreted their now inconvenient past positions as standard socialism. --digsig James A.
