PS, On "choice": every morning, between 8am and 8:17am, I "choose" to have a coffee, a fully free, first amendment style choice of my free will. Nope, nothing biological or preordained about it whatsoever. Nope, nuthin!
Speaking of free will, anarchism, russians and the like, here's an interesting read http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/michail-bakunin-man-society-and-freed...
That's an awesome read! Thank you. I put it into an OpenOffice file, 4 pages, 88KiB, numbered paragraphs, "tidy" layout by my standards. Email if you'd like a copy for easy printing. Quote: "Always and everywhere, when the masses are restless, even the most enthusiastic liberals immediately reverse themselves and become the most fanatical champions of the omnipotence of the State." I take exception to the historical absolute assertion "(They ["Liberals"] know very well that no state in history has ever been created by contract, and that all states were established by conquest and violence.)", in that around 1900, the Commonwealth of Australia, the federation of various states including New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria etc, was created by referendum and consent of the British parliament and the British monarchy, and not "by conquest and violence" even though it is true that the majority of states ("countries") in existence were created by conquest and violence. New Zealand and Canada and perhaps other Commonwealth states, I think share similar non violent histories, though I am no historian, so please do your own research if important. Setting aside this historical exception to the "conquest and violence" rule about the creation of states, the paper gives much to think and debate about. Quote: "Under the aspect of their earthly existence, the mass of men present so sorry and degrading a spectacle, so poor in spirit, in will and initiative, that one must be endowed with a truly great capacity for self — delusion, to detect in them an immortal soul, or even the faintest trace of free will."
