Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default Anarchy is fucking stupid!!

I have to say this because i have seen way to many people at my school who are all posers, but call themselves anarchists. First off if you're an anarchist then shouldn't you not go to school? Further more, without at least SOME form of government people would just go around killing other people, (you would be honest).So to all you "anarchists" shut the fuck up you're all morons.

everyone hates posers, so your not alone there, but ont all 'anarchists' are posers. anarchists are big fans of schools and education (although not the indoctrinatoin shit we have now), and if its free why would you refuse to go. if you can get a service that is a benifit for free, then why wouldn't you? there would be rights of people and there would be a milita or something to enforce those rights. it would ont be chaos with people running around slaughtering each other, there would be penalties. it would not work, however, unless poeple wanted it to work. it is not the type of system you can force on people, unlike communisim and capatilisim. (and all the in betweens)

On the political spectrum, Anarchy is the far-right. As I understand it, an anarchist believes in one rule: survival of the fittest. There is no government imposing order or civil service, and people fend for themselves on how to live and work. Anarchy need not be chaos, but it requires that all people are "good," much like basic socialism. For example, an anarchist may not support an idea such as slavery, but would not support a movement to stop his neighbor from practicing it. It is a very relitivistic point of view.

anarchy is no way right wing. at least, in no way i can think of. most anarchists are left wingish, or at least sympathisers of the left wing. (i mean the real left wing, not that labor shit). the right wing is opposed to change, and i see the abolition of goverment and cooperations as a fairly large change. the only system that will be a good place to live is a system where people want to be happy and to work to further the society. or, simplisticly as you put it, 'good'. if people do not want to be in a system, or just don't feel right about it, it will be unpleasant.

"an anarchist believes in one rule: survival of the fittest" i don't know what fucked anarchist youve been talking to, but the only system that is survival of the fittest is capatilism.

anarchist is about equality, and no one having power or authority over anything but themselves. unions (the basis of anarcho syndicalism is workers in unions) are anything but survival of the fittest. anarchists belive that everyone is equal, and no one should be abused by power, or abusing power. survival of the fittest and anarchy are complete opposites.

why is it 'fend for themselves', and not choose? is it that a scary thing for people to actually have some choice about how they live? are we so far gone that we are unable to think about anything but money and work.

i have the feeling you are mistaking anarchy with something else, or have been misinformed.

i don't understand your point about slavery

Most true politacal anarchist are anarchosydicalists. these are people who belive in the creation of self supporting independant communes. they are influenced by the works of Bakunin and Chompsky primarily.
Youre other anarchist are anarcho capitalists, these are essentialy the most radical libertarians which would like even the end of the government in such endevours as road creation, and national defense.
