36. Assange's political philosophy is essentially anarchistic.

People who laud him for one action he takes can expect to hate him for another. Anarchists have the goal of destroying government. Expect them to attempt to do just that.

Assange is transparent.

His fight for "transparency"... Adrahil Aug 2016 #42
