Excellent post, I'm proud to be an Anarchist like any free thinking being should be, "If an armed gang knocked on your door and demanded that you pay them a percentage of your income, no matter what their reasons might be then any rational individual will agree that such behaviour is criminal."

Replace “armed gang” with “government”. says it all really, how long will it take for people that this is really the case?? , I realised this decades ago. Respect & X 2 All

Thank you Frances. Gary D. Barnett is my favorite Anarchy advocate. His articles are frequently on LewRockwell.com and he also has his own site at GaryD.Barnett.com

You have no idea what you are talking about. Be careful what you say to Spaniards: -some might take great offence at your reference to Franco as a communist - Christ! Communism and fascism are diametrically are opposed!!! And don't get communism mixed up with Stalin: that's like saying Biden equates with democracy! But Stalin did save the effing world from Nazism, remember? All by himself, and few have the guts to even whisper it. What do you think of the mass murderer by nuke, Truman? And the murderers of Vietnamese 1963 -75? All American democrats. Same with Korea , Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., et.. You are reading the wrong books. - maybe "The Black Book of Communism" written by shameless hacks no university would ever dignify. Am I banned again?

This is total bullshit and a plug for libertarianism - where the strongest and least democratic take hold. Do roads and capital projects emerge on their own? Do pensions and other social programs?

"Small" government is code for government in the service of elites. No taxes? How does that translate? No infrastructure, or privatized infrastructure that makes us beholden to and at the mercy of elites?

Genghis Khan was an anarchist. King Charles III is an anarchist.

Anarchy= an (not or no or without) + archon (rulers)

Anarchy means without rulers. All else is the BS description of what those in power pretend would happen without them in power.

Not a dirty word. I've said this for decades, and it's why I don't vote.

The anarchy hasn't hit yet look into Moore County substation attack then also research the Metcalf Snipper incident San Jose and the Block Load black out by UK Gov. And just to add a bit of spice https://youtu.be/_fp8gJk4Sys 1977 NYC Blackout Riots

Anarchy, to those that genuinely understand the meaning of the word, is not a dirty word. So many, actually it's the same people that also mistook "mandatory" to mean rule or law and "required" to mean legally must, so many think that anarachy means chaotic, violent, mob rule or action. It doesnt. And al thos words have been weaponised by a few, to control the many. #theyareoutnumbered #wearemaby #wearememory

Jerm and Etienne are awesome. All governments are mafia and we should abandon the myth that we belong to societies and consequently need them. We are all free individuals making voluntary exchanges in a free market under the non-aggression principle. Period.
