ANARCHISM stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion, liberation of the human body from the dominion of property, liberation from the shackles and restraint of government, and stands for social order based on the free grouping of individuals.

Infoshop.org anarchist FAQ section F.
Right libertarianism or anarcho-capitalism is a lot of bullshit that leads to massive privately held states owned by individuals or corporations.
Furthermore there is no anthropological basis for the modern right wing pushed concept of individualism, and its pursuit will lead to nothing.

“Economies work best when left to freely operate..”

This has to be the most ignorant statement ever in light of wallstreet deregulaton from 1980s till 2000s leading to global financial crises of 2007-2010. The market left to itself leads to monopolies. Private large organisations are tyrannies.

You fail to understand the concept. A centralized monopoly on violence is not the solution to social problems. Ask yourself “How would I solve (insert problem)… Economies work best when left to freely operate, you do it every day.

Well, like others, anarchism has both good and bad parts to it. Its good to have do it yourself attitude, but that will not address everything like – how will economy work? What about social balance? Will it really lead to improvement in standard of living of the society or will have bunch of people doing things their way (which is usually contradicting with one another).

In my opinion anarchism cannot be a political idea. Its a art of living, when within ‘limits’, can make people more independent, opinionated and accommodating at the same time. Well, thats the ideal case, we are human beings, we don’t understand ‘ideal’ and ‘limits’.

The problem with leftist anarchy is it relies on force to create the system, and places people in a system as flexible as those that also participate. It is nothing but a series of democracies. This is a bit of an antithesis to the idea of non-governance. Rightist anarchy promotes individualism, doesn’t advocate any specific economic structure, and can become anything, including sectors of leftist type colonies.

i think this was quite a good documentary and an excellent starting point for anybody interested in the subject, although i would have liked to see and hear 2 points blatantly expressed.

1. if one were to read the new testament of the bible one would find jesus advocating anarchy, and yet exactly the opposite is preached from the pulpit.

2. from a purely logical perspective, if nobody OWNS me then nobody OWNS me such that i have to do as somebody else says purely for the sake of doing (or thinking, or speaking) as i’m told. no matter how many laws there are that say i MUST wear a bicycle helmet or a seatbelt such that i MUST protect my person to somebody else’s dictates. to me it comes down to personal sovereinty.

there will be a struggle between individualists and those advocating the pre-eminence of ‘the state’ for some time yet i think.

anarchy is not concerned with idiotic animal nihilism, violence, etc. read the words of noam chomsky to begin learning of this social model built on admirable components, the central concern of which is to defeat tyranny.
