Any anarchists here?

[vaguelyhumanoid]

I'm wondering how many anarchists are on this forum. Any sort of anarchist will do.

Personally, I'm a mutualist and tactically an agorist. I also consider myself a bioregionalist and a youth liberationist.

And what do all those terms mean?

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Mutualism: anti-capitalist form of market anarchism, based on a possession-based conception of property
Agorism: advocacy of economic civil disobedience through voluntary action against the corporate-state nexus
Bioregionalism: political views based around local community along the lines of the local ecosystem
Youth liberationism: the rejection of essentialistic stereotyping of youth and youth culture, and of institutionalized anti-youth discrimination

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm anarchist. However, to change up a quote from Winston Churchill: "Anarchy is the worst form of government. Except for all others than have been tried thus far."

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

What type of anarchy do you support? Like, what economic system?

based on a possession-based conception of property

Curious: does this essentially mean that whoever has a thing owns the thing?

Scott Walker and all the other governors need to hurry up and fire all the teachers while we still have time.

I used to consider myself an anarchist, I then realized that no human based leadership can or will work, only God can make it work, and that won't happen in this life.

 

[Thaeoles]

I lean toward anarcho-capitalism.

No. It means that in terms of land ownership, property is acquired through personal occupancy and use, and is abandoned when one stops making any use of their property.

Circa02, anarchy by definition means there would be no human authorities. You just said "I used to believe in anarchy, then I realized only anarchy would work".

Thaeoles, I have to say I find the use of "capitalism" to mean "free market" rather bothersome, but whatever, I won't hold it against you.

Just free-associating.

Whatever the system was in the book of Judges, that's what I think is best.

I meant capitalism as capitalism. Of course, capitalism doesn't work well without a free market.

Oh, right here, totally.

So that means my 3 acre back yard isnt really my back yard since I dont use it in any real way? And who decides who is using what if you eliminate any legal system or standard?

 

[circa02]

There's a difference between anarchy and chaos. Anarchism IS a political philosophy.

1. Do you have a dog or anything in your backyard? Do you occasionally take walks through it?
2. Anarchy doesn't mean lawlessness. There would still be law, it just wouldn't come from the state.

L'etat, c'est moi. Funny how radically different civic concepts wind up at the same conclusion in the end.

How is nonmonopolistic common law at all the same as monopolistic statutory law?
