The nature of freedom

Former Member · October 2001

The difference between anarchy and socialism/communism is that in anarchy there is no single system. All transactions are between individuals or groups who agree to work together at this time (a very fluid situation) vs communism in which a central government dictates how interaction will occur.

Communism didn't work, and so I believe Anarchism should be given a chance <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> In principle, Communism is workable and tempting, but in practice, as we saw with the Soviet Union, those who are most powerful (or vocal) tend to grab the reigns of power and abuse those who are weaker.

We are a team of anarchist journalists who produce a monthly ezine called 1Lit.

This month we have a special issue on the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, featuring opinion pieces, an interview, a book review and recommended links related to the tragedy. In it there is an opinion piece blaming politicians and geopolitical strategists for the suffering of innocent civilians throughout the world.

You may visit it at http://www.1Lit.com

Best of luck with TheSite.org <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> I shall continue to visit it regularly.

In all countries freedom has had to be fought for, freedom comes out the barrel of a gun. Sad but true IMO.
