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

118. I don't have anybody on 'ignore'.

I don't use it. I also don't really believe in removing posts or even posters.

How am I having a 'hissy fit'? Because I do not agree with you?

You referenced Spain from 1936 to 1939 as having been a model to which broader society should aspire. It has been referred to as an 'anarchist Utopia'.

How was I violent? And, out of curiosity, when you start a conversation by calling people names...what reaction are you looking for?

WHAT FACTS?? SOME of the workers in SOME parts of Spain managed to remain self-governing for roughly three years. How is that a FACT that supports your argument that anarchy would work as a model for broader society? It just doesn't.

No, I didn't assert that the benefits of the modern world are the result of coercive authoritarianism. I believe I can state with absolute certainty that I never misused a phrase as pompous as 'coercive authoritarianism'. You do get that even the phrase 'coercive authoritarianism' is simply your assumption, right?

You call me ignorant, dull, blah blah blah. And yet you extrapolate so much about me without any evidence. Since I do not agree with you, I must be dull and ignorant and trapped in my little coercively authoritarian world.

What do I advocate? Where have I advocated it?

How am I ignorant? I disagree with you. Are the only enlightened people the ones who agree with you?

I do know what anarchy means.

I do have ideals. Just not YOURS. That does not make me dull. It makes me different from you. Isn't it ironic that YOU are the one who started this whole conversation by attacking me, who is making all kinds of obnoxious assumptions about me, who appears to think that anyone who does not agree with them is ignorant...and who is railing against authoritarianism?? Ha ha...good one.

Lastly...three years...not successful.
