"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners."

~ Edward Abbey

What Anarchy Is:

I tire of constantly having to explain what anarchy is and what it is not. I tire of having to explain our language to those who seem never to have the time or inclination to study and learn it on their own, and without prejudice. Words mean things, and cannot be arbitrarily changed, or altered to suit a mood, an agenda, or be used improperly in order to create out of thin air, a State or political narrative, or to advance any particular agenda. To begin my comments, I will clarify that the word anarchy simply means no rule – no rulers, and therefore, no master or government; period. With that, we can begin to examine the complete bastardization, purposeful and misleading I might add, of this grand and liberating idea that is anarchy. From any moral perspective, no human has any 'right' whatsoever, to rule over or enslave another, so no 'right' exists that could allow one to delegate any 'right' to another to 'legally' rule or enslave, yet that is exactly what all government claims' as its right' to do.

First, it is imperative to stress that true anarchy is not a political system, a political party, a system of 'rule' for nation-states, and it cannot be achieved for extreme collectives, especially entire states and nations. It is simply independent rule of self without any force against another. This can be accomplished locally, or can be achieved by any freedom oriented group of individuals in a larger setting. This is why secession at every level from any master/slave relationship, such as all government and State authoritative structures, is critical if true freedom is desired. Anarchy is not for everyone, it is only appropriate for those who desire and understand personal responsibility, and are willing to practice self-rule and non-aggression. Anarchy can only exist in a free society, because everyone and every like-thinking group should be able to govern themselves, but also allow others to have any type of system or not, that they desire, so long as they never attempt to force their political system on others. That is an honest voluntary system.

In other words, all should be able to live their preferred life without interference from anyone or any entity, but leave all others to enjoy that same freedom. In an environment such as this, multiple political systems along with anarchy, could co-exist peacefully, so long as total freedom of the individual was the rule, and absolutely no force or aggression was present by any opposing organized political scheme. But in such an setting, no State or nation could survive as an overall political structure, since the State only exists due to extreme force, violence, and rule over others, which is the antithesis of freedom. Basically then, all states, nations, and ruling classes, would disappear if the value of anarchism were known and accepted by the masses.
