So What is Anarchy You Ask????
"Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism means peace and tranquility to all." --August Spies, Haymarket anarchist
It is reported that about 30% of the world's population is unemployed. That's worse than the Great Depression, but it's now an international phenomenon. You have 30% of the world unemployed, a huge amount of work that needs to be done just rebuilding the society alone. The people who are unemployed want to do the work, but the system is such a catastrophic failure that it cannot bring together idle hands and work. This is all hailed as a great success, and it is a great success, for a very small sector of the population. --Noam Chomsky, "Globalization and Resistance"
Anarchy is a system of politics in which there is no governement... I've heard many people say that anarchy is violence, destruction, fire, killing and random unpleasent deaths. This is NOT true. That would be another system of government called Nihilism. In an anarchist government, there would be no need for violence. The cause of violence in today's system is rebellion. The government tells you you're not supposed to do something, so you do it to see what would happen. It's like small children, you tell a child not to go into a certain area, under the patio perhaps, what does the child do? It goes under the patio. It wouldn't have done it if you didn't tell it not to. And there wouldn't be much violence just because one can, either... it would be a social taboo. It's not against the law to fuck your sister, but it's just not done (at least not most places; Texas and Kansas are exceptions). How anarchy would probably work would be that people form small city-communes. Not too large, because then the sense of community and helping others would be lost, but not too small because then they wouldn't be able to sustain themselves. Everyone in the communes would help each other out (like what happens in small towns) and they would help other cities out. People as a whole are good in nature, but there are a few exceptions. These would be taken care of by the communities. Usually by excommunication (from the community, not the church/temple/synagougue/coven/etc.) and the person would usually learn after being asked to leave 1 or 2 towns. In the event that the person refuses to leave, the townspeople would force them out. The idea of anarchy is a good one, and it could work. Yes there would be many problems with Anarchist living but thats the same with everything else. A more peaceful society could emerge and thats for the good of the masses. Ignore that which the government tells you about anarchy, either directly or through the media, they are out to serve their own agenda. We are NOT living in a free country, we live in representative democracy. Any time that there are people in a government, that system will fail.
Last night I was having a great conversation with a friend of mine Eric. We talked about many many things but one of the most important issues we discussed was this on going war G. Bush is heading. We are both against it because its so obvious that when it begins it wont be over quickly. The world is going to hell in a hand basket. Bush wants to knock out terrorism completly. Its a great thought and everything but how can we do that. Isn't every person that instills terror in another a terrorist. That is truely a shit load of a lot of people. We're starting something that we cant easily get ourselves out of. This i going to be a long painful time for America and the rest of the world and the thing is, it isnt just America here. Earth has 7 continents, 192 countries, and more states than I could even imagine. With all these other people in the world there are more leaders, more people that believe so many different things. Terrorism is everywhere and it affects everybody so why the hell does our country have to fight every battle that comes along. Yes 911 sucked alot of ass but that doesnt mean that now we have to go and get everyone else for it. Innocent people will die. Iraq wont just let us attack us and give up. Retailation is evident to me. We knw that have nuclear weapons as well as bop chemical. Doesn't it make sense that if we were going to attack Iraq that they would use those weapons against us???? Saddam is scared shitless of us and he probably thinks if and when we do attack we will probably kill him. So if thats what hes thinking wouldnt it make since for him to just use everything he has to stop us from getting to him first??? I was reading through some news articles on CNN and I came across something about G. Bush's "War on Terrorism." He said, "I believe Saddam Hussein is a threat to the American people. I believe he's a threat to the neighborhood in which he lives." Now if Saddam is a threat to his people then why dont they deal with it. America as a nation is very weak. After all the lives lost in 911 people dont want to lose anymore of their loved ones. Your army is strong but not strong enough. There arent enough people right now to start a full on war against Iraq and definetly not against terrorism. Even thought they say that the draft isn't coming back wouldn't it have to. The army isnt full enought yet and not to many more people will be enlisting so the draft seems like the only way to fill in all those empty spots. And if the draft does return again im sure both men and women will be asked to fight for their country, but do you think Jenna Bush is going to go to Iraq and fight her daddies cause along with everyone else, hell no.
Our society is all based on social order. Who you are, how much money you make determines everything in your life. I come from a pretty good backround. Everything i've needed has been given to me and i apreciate all that but it isnt what i need in life. Upper class--> Lower Upper Class--> Uppper Middle Class--> Middle Middle Class--> Lower Middle Class--> Upper Lower Class--> Middle Lower Class--> Lower Lower Class so here do you fit in??? I could say im in the Upper Middle Class so what does that do for me. I'm going to be one of the first to get the small pox vaccine. When its time for the war to being the young men in my family arent going. The money in my family makes me so much better off than those below me on the social ladder. And that really sucks ass. To the government the people coming out of Bloomfield Hills are the leaders of tommorrow. They are going to be running this country in 20 years, if we still have one to run. So those of you below me its time to start heading out to Canada before this war becomes official and the draft is in running action because when that time does come, your going to be getting a letter in the mail shipping you away to Iraq for a great vacation featuring a life of insanity when you return or death. So when you do come back home to mom and dad you might be in a bodybag.
Isn't it interesting that a year and a half after September 11we still havent found Bin Laden. I dont doubt that they aren't looking for him but they make a huge deal about finding him and when they dont Bush moves on to Saddam. The American people are looking for someone to pin all of our losses on. The loved ones we lost in 911. But are we going about it the right way??? I think alot of people think that when we get Saddam all terrorism will be over. Saddam is the big problem and we must but all our energy into him. And the thing is he knows how we are thinking. He's reading all the news reports so everything we know about what Bush is thinking he does too. At any moment he can do exactly was Bin Laden is doing and do hide in a cave until hes out of hot water and Bush hids someone else to blame. Our president is getting nervous because the people want justice but he doesn' know how to give it to them.
7 days. You've heard that in The Ring and now on the news, radio and read in the paper. The next 7 days will determine the path this country will take for the next 7 years. Once again our lives will change. Everyone said our lives would never be the same after 911. But who seriously expected ue to go to war with Iraq. Going after Bin Laden is one thing. We should do that. All the lives lost on that sad day deserve to know that Bin Laden's ass doesn't get away with what he's organized. I suppose Saddam can just take his place. 7 days from today we declare war, then the whole world is going to hell. The only thing stopping Bush from attacking Iraq is if Saddam destroys his weapons. And its not as simple as it may seem. Im sure your thinking that would be easy. But its not. Saddam can't just bury his weapons and detinate them. If he was to do that all the ground would be destroyed and probably couldnt be used again. It would just become a massive wasteland. He would have to take the neuclear material out of the weapons and the detinators and destroy them sepreatly. With the hundreds of weapons we believe he has it would take him now til next Sunday to finish the job. In 7 days our lives will change.....Again.
Seven days if over. It's the last day of Saddam's 48 hrs. What the fuck is going to happen now?? Who knows. Maybe tonight at 8:14 (the exact time 48 hrs. is up) Bush will drop bombs on Iraq. We all know that Saddam isn't leaving anytime soon or ever. He's going to die there in the next few days, weeks, months?? I dont know when. But when this fucking war is finally over Iraq is going to be a Kinko's copy of our beautiful nation. Their constitution will be exactly like ours. The only difference will be that it doesn't say The United States of Mother Fucking America but Iraq. And thats bullshit. We act as if every Iraqi is pleading for our help and they aren't. Over half of that country hates us. As most of you know after September 11th people were cheering in the streets for the injustices against America, and now we want to free them of a communist dictator. Sure Saddam has weapons, he broke the UN charters but shit, the rest of the world doesn't want to get involved so we have to?? That sucks so much ass. And Bush tries to say that in 5 or 10 years Saddam will be stronger and could hurt/destroy us so we must get him now. It seems to me when the rest of the world doesn't want to get involved with somehting like this we shouldn't want to either. It complete bullshit. innocent people will die. No not just Iraqis but what about the 250,000 men and women in the Middle East right now. Of course all of them won't die but those who don't will probably come back a little screwed up. After watching people die because you killed them has to do something to your mentality.
This is an article of msnbc.com about the Beasties Boys song protesting the war.
This is an article about former Vietnam protesters that are now protesting the war in Iraq.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THIS SITE. I STARTED IT YESTERDAY MORNING THURSDAY MARCH 5TH.
