juan for president!!!!!!
Thank you Georgi. We need an anarchist president who would fight for our anarchist constitution. Those are the pilars of our anarchist state. Otherwise chaos would ensue.
he might give the scumbags hard time, not sure.
Hm. That's a nice ring - it might fit me. But I think I'll pass =P
Here's a funny story. In late 2006, I think, I came across Hillary Clinton's campaign website. They wanted recommendations for a campaign theme song. Feeling fey, I suggested "If I Was [sic] President" by Wyclef Jean. That was before President Obama had become a leading candidate. What a joke. I'm not claiming that Wyclef Jean is an anarchist. But it's at least arguable that he's a decent man. So it goes.
The test perhaps ought be, can you (/we) elucidate anarchist beliefs, benefits, cautions, etc, to enough people such that someone who's not you chooses to run for president on an anarchist platform?
Such changes can surely only occur with the leverage of "getting it out there, and "it" being appealing to enough of the general population".
Juan, are there aspects of political anarchism (I think we need a term other than "anarchy" if we want Joe Sixpack to not glaze over) which you have personal doubts about, or you're not sure about how best to handle, or even unsure about how to educate others about? Perhaps another thread though... but I am seriously interested in a more nuanced discussion than "those USG cunts" ;)
