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

114. We both do in our ways. He has tenure at MIT and I simply don't participate in this

profoundly sick society beyond what is required.

The definition came from the dictionary, which I linked to, so that part of your hissy-fit can be dismissed out of hand. As you pointed out, words have meaning and your disagreement with those meanings is irrelevant.

I have not defined any Utopia, that is you own internal construct. But you have been most helpful in demonstrating exactly the greatest hurdle we face in making a better society, willful ignorance. You're not the first person I've met that reacts violently (as violently as the internet allows) when faced with facts that do not fit their personal prejudice. You have yet to show any evidence or make any argument that demonstrates any inherent violence in Anarchy, yet you continue to claim it.

Once again, you assert, ("...all the amenities our icky, structured, governed world provides.&quot that the benefits of the modern world are the result of coercive authoritarianism without any single shred of evidence to back it up. Is this a lack of imagination on your part? Perhaps you are simply withholding some profound understanding of the proper order of the universe from those you view as beneath you? Please, let us revel in the enlightenment that you've achieved, if any such exists.

That you are not idealistic doesn't make you ignorant, it merely identifies you as dull. The saddest part is that you don't even understand that a lot of us have seen what you advocate, have seen where it leads, have mastered the game you struggle with, and decided not to participate in it any further than coercion dictates. You are ignorant, you have made that abundantly clear. You didn't know what Anarchy means. You didn't know about the only modern example of it's success. You are not aware that the vast majority of human history was lived in just this sort of system. And what is really tragic, you have no interest in learning.

This is the point where you try to hit me, or in DU terms, put me on ignore, 'cause that'll show me who's boss.
