Anarchists Only

[Frolicking_Fox]

I looked through the other threads, and realized that there isn't one solely for Anarchism. I feel like Anarchism is growing, and holds many Schools of Thought. I am an Anarcho-Communist, and I await for some good discussions amongst fellow Anarchists.

Kirran is the only other anarchist here I think.
SF used to be one but he's gone full liberal since.

You're welcome in the communist dir if you'd like, it's pretty much deserted.

I think I qualify as an anarchist, and there have been others recently who have identified as such in various threads...I'll let them volunteer themselves (really it's because I can't remember who it was...)

Would a minarchist qualify as an anarchist?
(The latter's definitions do allow for some range.)

Well, I'd let you in under the broad umbrella...but then, I'm a friendly sort of guy.

More like a political nihilist, honestly. Lol. Basically, I think it's all bs at the end of the day.

I used to be an anarchist and I thought the same. I stopped thinking that way as it became obvious that authority is necessary and will always developed regardless. I was sort of an anarcho-nationalist, I believed that there should be no law other than border policy.

I still think that there should be a subforum for Anarchists, Nationalists, and other political belief systems considered to be unorthodox by most, as well as an "other political beliefs" forum.

A possible criterion.....
Anyone who wants less government in all areas.
(Cuz one would look like an anarchist to both liberals & conservatives.)

If not a pure anarchist, one would be a functional anarchist.

Eh. I mean, technically it's considered a form of Anarchism, but most Anarchists don't see it as such, as it's contradictory. Freedom from government, but voluntary submission to an oppressive economic system? Most Anarchists would argue against it.

I would fully support a Nationalist-Traditionalist-Monarchist (NTM?) subforum, since I feel the definition of the conservative forum is totally exclusionary of the older half of conservative belief, which rejects most of the tenets of the free market. Also there is already one more left-wing subforum than right-wing, and perhaps the communist forum could be turned into an umbrella for left-wing beliefs different than liberalism or socialism, and so we could have an umbrella forum for the right as well, to properly discuss Our Belief. Especially on a religious forum, since for the most part traditionalist political philosophies are totally inseparable from religion, and traditionalist religions totally inseparable from the political-social sphere. And yet for all that, there is absolutely no requirement that such beliefs be associated with violence or racism, which can still both be justly suppressed here.

The communist subforum is effectively that already as communism is defined as an economic system without specific commitment to political or religious beliefs. Most communists on RF are libertarian and anarchist leaning anyway and aren't necessarily Marxist. Occassionally there are a few religious communists (also welcome).

On the subject of a nationalist subforum, there was a discussion on it earlier. I suggested the idea as although I'm not far right I don't think it can be ignored anymore given all the stuff going on offline. It had problems over defining who is would be for (as nationalists might compete with each other) as well as concerns over whether more far-right members would be "disruptive", so it hasn't gone further. There wasn't much evidence it would be used by a significant number of members either as RF is politically very centre-left. A better proposal might go further (but I think its really the number of people who would use it that will make the difference).

Nationalist/far-right subforum?

But You may want to talk to @Rival who also would want such a forum. Maybe you'll hit it off.

No.

 

[Revoltingest]

No.

I notice that you identify as a "classical liberal".
So do I.

Ref....
Classical liberalism - Wikipedia

Would that mean that neither of us belongs in this thread?
I want our government to move in the direction of more anarchy.
Perhaps we're "anarchist lite", eh?

 

[Satans_Serrated_Edge]

Yes. A far right forum would be a peaceful Oasis in an ocean of blood being pumped out by all the oversized Libby hearts.

+1

Also +1 to anarchist sub, we aren't all commies.

 

[Ultimatum]

No, I identify as a Trident 2 submarine-launched ballistic projectile.

But, earnestly, yes I do--and I'm contented that you do also. On many moments, I have christened classical liberal philosophy as "true capitalism" and "capitalism done correctly", well.. because it really is!

Would that mean that neither of us belongs in this thread?

Yes, I shouldn't think we're appreciated here.

 

[Revoltingest]

Yes, I shouldn't think we're appreciated here.

I'm treading lightly because I never know when a mod might take offense.
I've pushed my luck enuf....I'll tread elsewhere now.

Would you be willing to offer a definition? Any overlap with Libertarianism?

One question I always have is of weights and measures and safety standards. How do anarchists make sure that our bridges are safe, that our houses have good wiring, that food is safe, and so on?

Really?

I would rather put a bullet through my head than ever call myself an anarchist.

Just take the short way out and spare myself the self-stupidity.

But of course, I have pointed a loaded gun at my head before.

Who cares about mods?

An anarchist would not.

And to hell with their useless philosophy anyway.

Or is this post playing off the paranoia of your post?

Am I actually being an anarchist at this moment?

Damn the mods!

\But anarchy is silly.

Is it?

Let's just go to Disney World.

It's a small world after all!.........who thunk that Ayn Rand?!
