I am an Anarchist. Not a "Libertarian" or a "Galtist" but an Anarchist.

99. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

See, anarchy has a specific definition. If you change the labels, it becomes a different word with a different meaning. That is kind of how language works.

Banana spoon fed dog bone happy trail.

See??? That didn't make any sense because I used the wrong words. If you mean "Cooperative society", you should probably say "Cooperative society". Which still implies structure and some form of governance. Just because it is a mutually agreed upon form of governance doesn't mean it isn't governance. "Anarchy makes coercion impossible" makes about as much sense as "Banana spoon fed dog bone happy trail." I think that is one of those things that sounded, again, all profound in your head, but that isn't playing nearly as well out here in the open.

"...but John has agreed to lead tracking activities. Should he decide that he doesn't want to or demands too much from the group in exchange. who's the next best or who wants to learn?" Really? Like we FORCE officials to be elected to posts? Who held a gun to Barack Obama's head and forced him to be President? I did read today that Mitt Romney didn't really want to be President. Luckily for him, he didn't win. Or can we FORCE him to be President, even if he doesn't want to?? You really ought to think this stuff out before you write it. Especially if you are going to write in a supercilious tone. Because this shit just BEGS to be shot down.

This entire conversation is based on the original post in which the poster said that he was an anarchist because he wants a leaderless society...only with police and fire protection and one assumes garbage men and road crews and stuff like that. My comment which led to your apparent need to prove...whatever it is that you are trying to prove...was that he was not, in fact, an anarchist. He was basically saying that he does not want anybody to be the boss of him. He is actually a two year old. Or, as previously stated, a stoner trying to sound philosophical.

Come to think of it, you sound kind of like a stoner trying to sound philosophical, too. And if that is the case, the least you can do is hook a fellow DUer up.
