An Anarchist Nation
Recently it seems a lot of people have asked me what my political stance is. I can see how people would get confused; I support the troops but not the government, I am Liberal on some issues and conservative on others, I’ve been called a Black Republican and a White Democrat. Hell I support strippers but that doesn’t mean I have to like where they work or who they work for.
So I am going to go ahead and set the record straight.
I had to think a lot about this because I never considered my self political in any sence of the work. But for the sake of finding out I really stretched my efforts. I have come to the conclusion, if you must have definitions that I am an Anarchist. Now when I say this I am not talking here about the ripped t-shirt, torn jeans, mowhawked, pierced party punk anarchist who is looking for nothing more than an excuse to act a fucking fool. I am referring to the legitimate political party. Most of this is not going to be terribly political but it is in line with much of what I believe.
In this country it is largely believed that we have these undeniable freedoms and an inalienable right to these freedoms. The actuality though if you look closely is that these freedoms are dependent solely on your ability to fit societies mold. If at any time you step beyond those norms you immediately become a target. Unless you are an out spoken advocate you rarely come onto the government’s radar but you can find oppression in your social circles, place of business, community and possibly within your own family or home. How many times have you suppressed some part of your self at a family or community gathering? You disguise yourself and blend in for the sake of keeping the peace. Where is your inalienable freedom then? It is only those who believe strongly enough in their choices that make the cut. The others crumble and assimilate. Those of us who choose to live outside of societies boundaries must have a clear understanding of our path and we must not be afraid to defend it. Our defense must be clear and knowledgeable and we have to maintain a certain degree of dignity. Anarchy brings this freedom into the light of truth by believing that each is entitled to his own way of life and he is also entitled to network with others who live as he does. In order to garner any type of respect you must have a very high ethical standard and personal responsibility and you must adhere to it. There must be an individual self control and organization; you have to control your own destiny. Anarchy is a belief in political, social, and moral freedom.
Take anarchy from that perspective and you begin to see that there is a lot more going on here than the idea that government is unnecessary. Of course some central core of government is necessary to successfully keep a nation in tact but the control does not have to extend so far. Minimize government control and put choices back into the hands of the public. I believe that people in general are bright enough to choose whether or not something fits their life ideas or not. If you don’t like the movie you can change the station. We truly don’t need our government to dictate to us that this is a “wholesome” lifestyle and this other is not. People are capable of self administration if placed into an environment where taking care of yours is primary.
A nation built on a collection of largely self sustaining Federations and Communities would work with the idea that together we fall under this umbrella but we run our own shit. When the country is in need of warriors, warriors from all quarters answer the call of their own accord. When the nation is in need of resources we pitch in to make things happen. Even within these Federations there are clans, families, and groups all doing their own thing and working together for the greater good of the tribe. A true co-op. This idea does not imply a license for wholesale lawlessness. You are allowed to do as you please but certain laws are set into place for the safety of the whole. You can’t just start up an assassination business, hang your plaque out and start killing people in the streets. Even an anarchist state must have order to survive, but regulation is not order. Order is built out of necessity, regulation is forced control, subjugation to an idea you may not agree with. Government does not need to regulate so much of our lives. We will do a great job without government in our faces.
Well what do you do when you live outside of society’s norm and government is all in your face? Well first of all you can’t take notes from the Branch Davidians. I am talking about living your life as you choose to live it without fear of oppression, not religious psychosis mixed with paranoia and an arms race. You have to keep it legal people. The laws are in place so let’s not ignore them in a vain attempt at frightening people into acceptance. You will be quashed. I repeat you act an ass and they will burn you to the ground. You can’t say that you just want to do you and then become an oppressor your self it’s just hypocritical. Until they do away with them, pay your taxes, call it an operations fee if you must but don’t get crazy. Hold your ground, keep your chin up and be who you are in the face of any and all adversity. Network with those of a like mind and build that trusted tribal community.
How do you reconcile all of this with the fact that as an individual you do what you do but as an American you are proud of your nation? In the face of some tragedy like the Trade Center bombings we rise up in fury in full support of our own. Don’t look at it as a split in ideas, you can have tribal pride and loyalty and still be a fearless patriot. The individual collective should not take away from the national whole; rather it should add something valuable to it. This is true up the line from the small family unit to the national group. If we begin with responsibility for ourselves as a part of this whole we will also take responsibility for our places in each level of cooperation.
Anarchy is often confused with National Socialist Fascists or the Nazis. Fascists are about complete control of the people where anarchy is about little control rather than outright or no control. At one point in my life I termed myself a Fascist because there are just some things I agree with but the more I looked at the actual politics of it I realized that Fascism racial or otherwise is as flawed as Communism. Some will say to me now well if you just called it Libertarianism instead of tying yourself up with British punk bands and roving bands of skin heads you would have less problems. Well Libertarians are concerned more with personal liberties rather than personal freedom. I don’t give a shit about your personal liberty you are at liberty to live as you wish to live and you will never hear me telling you how to do it. I am concerned with your freedom to do so. Until the government raises some of the more ridiculous sanctions and restrictions on our lives our main concern must be a true freedom to live as we wish to live, hassle free.
Be the master of your own person and you will in turn master your domain.
