Care to quote me where I've argued for anything remotely like that?
Why do you bother posting here mr? You very rarely actually engage with the points posted, you just seem to respond to what you imagine people post.
For once klintock, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Damn!!!! Hang on, I'll come up with something........
your always tossing this kind of crap in.
your chasing the wind ...wasting your time and the vast majority of people will never wish to live in blagoland.
cos it won't fucking work.
You can't actually quote me can you?
What kind of crap? That you constantly engage with what you imagine I wrote rather than what I actually wrote?
Except you can't tell me why. You can't even answer any questions I put to you. I don't get why you bother posting here.
Except that you have nowt to base that on do you?
maybe it's just your bad communication skills that are killing a great idea.
i know damn well you haven't made such a quote ...your not dumb enough to actualy try explain how and when this might work as this thread has shown all to clearly.
keep your get out clause mate.
However, I will post one more fucking time -
I think that anarchism is an ideal to strive for, but what I don't see it as is some kind of future utopia. Yes, I'd like society to be organised along libertarian socialist lines, but I think that it is highly unlikely given the current state of things. I also agree that the theory is incomplete as it fails to take into account people's emotional states and inner worlds. A synthesis between psychoanalysis and socialism would be a better approach IMO.
What I am concerned with however is spreading the idea that actually, people can have more control over their own workplaces and communities, that profit and personal gain does not have to be the driving force of innovation, that a better world might actually be possible. Most people are perfectly capable of deciding what is best for them, their families, communities, workplaces and environment - encouraging that and encouraging people to realise that they can actually fulfil their potential and that the way the world is currently organised to line the pockets of the few at the expense of the rest of us and that that is profoundly damaging to people's pscyhe's - that is what concerns me.
I've never actually met anyone that wouldn't like more say in their life, wouldn't actually like to be renumerated the full value of their labour, who wouldn't actually like a world that was run for the benefit of people rather than profits. Have you?
It seems to be more to do with your drug addled brain.
So why ascribe to me opinions that I don't actually hold?
Jesus fucking Christ you blind hippy freak. I have stated (twice!)* my position on this. :rolleyes:
Quit the weed geezah, its fucked your brain.
*and now a 3rd time
Only for fucking arseholes who constantly misrepresent me and refuse to read my posts, instead preferring to comment on what they imagine I wrote.
you get in this state often in here ...with many people.
please put me on your ignore list.
before i had even seen the fucking thing you had gone on to post your insults ...so fuck you.
look at the times ...two minutes between your posts.
people like you would be the main reason no fucker would want to live in your world.
this will get us nowhere, every arguement is ripped apart by him saying 'where did i say that'. Either you or your site thing have said these things we're talking about.
Think what you want, you know nothing of economics or how the world works if you think this can ever happen
I hate to burst your bubble... but it can and does work? It is all down to the choice of current leaders, who favour the current system.
I am though fed up of page of seemingly circular argument between people. ;p (Joke before flames start.)
Oh stop being so dishonest mr. All you've done on this thread is misrepresent me and pick and choose which bits of my replies you respond to, without actually answering any of the points I put to you.
even blagsta hasn't gone that far ...or did i not read his posts correctly again?
Well maybe you can quote me then. Oh no, you can't.
See, more proof that people don't bother to read my posts.
Every time people set up a co-operative business, every time people get together to stop a school being closed, every time people get together to stop their estate being sold off, everytime people house themselves by squatting disused property, everytime a group of mothers get together to run a creche on a non profit basis - these are examples of anarchism in action. You'd be right that most people don't give a flying fuck for the politics of it - but that's what anarchism is - people controlling their own lives. That's it.
If its historical examples you want - read up about the Spanish Civil War, the Paris Commune, the history of squatting in London.
Is that the best you can come up with?

You're not making any sense.
