(21,115 posts)what is the meaning of the very word Anarchy? Why would you take a word that means that....and then keep saying NOOOOOO it doesn't mean that! Can you not see that that is ridiculous? OF course it means that.....Anarchists want to live in this dreamy world where humans evolve to not need government? Am I right?
Of course I am....and I am telling you I do not believe that....Anarchy means exactly what Websters and Oxford define. I suggest if that is not what you believe...that you find another word to describe what you believe in.....
I am sorry I am a blasphemer....the truly funny part to me is....you often here about the book "Animal Farm" from some....and the part about "up is down" "left is right" turning the meaning of words to their opposite. I hear that and think about them constantly denying that the title that they give themselves doesn't mean the same thing as what the top dictionaries in the world say that word means!
I find that completely humorous I am sorry..like I said I am a blasphemer. It reminds me so much of talking to staunch Southern Baptists about the word "obey" in the wedding vows they expect women to say. They have told me many times that the word "obey" in the marriage vows....but only in the females version but IT means something different than what it says in the dictionary. I ask do they have to obey God? They say oh yes of course....but then assure me that it is a different kind of obey than the one the wife speaks in her wedding vows...doncha know that? Well then you are just a "denier".
Talking to anarchists about what they believe in....sounds just like that to me...
