Anarchism is the pragmatic answer to the world's social, political and economic problems. It could use some tactful and diplomatic messengers to get the points across to the uninformed.. With some effort, you might be one of them.Brian Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228290862561650691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640734414845052953.post-67939202893709953872016-11-17T18:26:31.417-08:002016-11-17T18:26:31.417-08:00levi's deleted post: Well, thanks for remindin...levi's deleted post: Well, thanks for reminding me my Googlw Plus profile is out of date... <br />Brian Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228290862561650691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640734414845052953.post-217642957099587352016-11-16T20:27:55.426-08:002016-11-16T20:27:55.426-08:00So "you didn't notice"...How typical...So "you didn't notice"...How typical of today's sub-[par "anarchist". You don't read with comprehension. In fact, you don't read at all; you "skim" at best then bloviate at worst assuming you're casting pearls of wisdom before the Unwashed. As if this site has some obligation to conform to your failure to comprehend the value of posting contrarian articles as some violation of your silly ego maniacal faith. Hint: An anarchist may post whatever one chooses for whatever purpose. While you are free to comment, you reveal your flaccid intellect fails to grasp that. Like the closet statist troll you are, you believe your "purity" requirements can be imposed through adolescent ridicule. Beyond your left-handed "apology", like too many of your ilk, you don't even have the ability engage in civil discourse. All this brilliance from a "slot car mechanic" with a Star Wars fetish. So enlightening! Please continue with your astute observations. We look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness....Brian Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228290862561650691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640734414845052953.post-29509550264578435222016-11-15T19:24:56.479-08:002016-11-15T19:24:56.479-08:00Sorry I didn't notice that a supposed anarchis...Sorry I didn't notice that a supposed anarchist reposts statist articles on his blog. I still stand by my statements, though the incongruity does make more sense now. As Greenfeld doesn't (as far as I can tell) idenentity as an anarchist, the accusation of hypocrisy wouldn't really apply.levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271222644828137396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640734414845052953.post-30148093108231046512016-11-15T19:17:20.950-08:002016-11-15T19:17:20.950-08:00Interesting.

Trump's positions are SOP among collectivists and statists positions, therefore rendering your comments suspect. Why would an anarchist care or feel compelled to critique statist/collectivist matters? Conversely, why can't "one unexecpected election" not be the beginning of a revolution? Don't all movements require a Beginning? The trappings of the incoming administration may, indeed, be a continuation of "the national state".However, the only alternative (Clinton) was no alternative at all. To prefer the status quo to the potential for the beginning of change is the stuff of cowards, not pro- anarchy advocates. What would you do in the face of real change? How do you assume it will arrive (if ever)? On butterfly wings wrapped in snowflakes? The entrenched Establishment has -0- intentions of giving up w/o a big, messy, costly, bloody, upsetting fight. The current demonstrations are being bought and paid for by such entrenched interests who have no intention of "going gently into that good-nite". And, if Trump's "blatant bigotry is in opposition to freedom..", what would you call the Clinton/status quo opposition that you admittedly prefer? As for "a pretender", I will assume your snarky comment is leveled at the author of the piece, Mr. Greenfield who, I can assure you, does not read this blog. For the most dramatic effect, contact him directly. Share your thoughts. Enjoy the response (if any).

Furthermore his blantant bigotry is in opposition to freedom and the princples of equality (which are the basis of anarchist philosophy). You are a pretender; one unexpected election is not a revolution; it is merely the continued propagation of the national state.levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271222644828137396noreply@blogger.com
