Let's talk about anarchy!

So you admit, anarchy would not work as a political system. The only reason you're able to live the way you do is because as a US citizen you have the freedom to do so.

This is not a legitimate discussion of anarchy as a political system but an example of why the US is a great country.

Yep. I agree with this.

You do understand that you don't really believe in anarchy if you only are anarchistic for your own person, right? You can tell yourself you are an anarchist and that you live that way, but you can't even have a pocket of anarchy within this country. All a pocket of anarchy is in this country is a group of people who the law has not prosecuted yet.

Yet.

well, they're still waiting down in slab city.

which is a community, not one individual, and has existed for years; i was down there in 2014 and it's still there now.

so, wrong- you *can* have a pocket of anarchy. you not being aware that such pockets exist is not proof that they don't.

Slab City is not an anarchist community, no matter what Vice magazine says it is.

you sure do love that "no true scotsman" fallacy.

only one of the two of us has actually set foot there.

Its only a fallacy, if its a fallacy. But in this case, coldweatherblue is absolutely right and people can call themselves anarchists while still enjoying all the freedoms afforded by God and the Constitution.

This is kind of like trading in your 1982 Volvo for a 2017 Tesla and making the statement, "I did this for the environment." Oh, and stating the Tesla is great because it is environmentally friendly and doesn't use petroleum products.

You need to stop using the word anarchy, or even "soft anarchy" for what you're describing decay because it really isn't.

Your idea of anarchy only works while you're protected by the laws and regulations of a statist society. Once the laws and regulations of a statist society are no longer present(anarchy), then you no longer have the ability to live in your fantasy utopia because people are not benevolent. They'll take what you have by force.

What you're describing is more like voluntary micro-socialism.

That won't last long either because let's say you get the cancer (the real kind not the liberal kind you're suffering from), and there's no oncologist within your community, you need to travel outside of your community to find another micro socialist community in which there is an oncologist. Now that oncologist is not part of your community so why should he help you? He'll need some kind of remuneration, and he doesn't accept an "IOU one job of equivalent value". the concept of money now comes into play. Now there's lots of people travelling between communities for various reasons, you'll need regulations of how to travel between and deal with different communities. Before long your back in a capitalist driven democratic republic.

You need to stop using the word anarchy

you need to go fuck yourself.

[marshallnoise]

you need to go fuck yourself.

3 sheets already?

3 sheets already?

have i not already discussed several times how adherents to my platform don't like being told what to do?

you're not going to have much luck with us, starting any paragraph with "you need to".

none of you read, and it's massively irritating to have to keep repeating this shit.

[Mediumrarechicken]

Dude relax. It's the internet.


People are sharks. You leave lots of blood in the water so to speak.

It's not that we don't read, Its just what we read is hilariously unrealistic.

no it isn't like that- responding creatively or cleverly would require parsing and processing what I say and not everyone involved in this thread is capable of that. some are. you are not among them.

[marshallnoise]

Amazing hubris.

Yeah, well I'm also able to know what is reality and a fairy tale

Neither are you. You told me to go fuck myself because you're incapable of seeing the reality of the microsocialism you're peddling.
