Anarchism is the proper response to all of these abuses.
In the same way that your car breaking down means you should abandon it forever and just walk everywhere you want to go. It’s also a good idea, if you ever get food poisoning, to just stop eating forever.
It’s never a good idea to try and fix what’s wrong, just throw it all away.

- mattkrause 8y agoIsn’t that basically the definition of anarchy?
- thatcat 8y agoAnarchy means without leaders [0]. There are many types of anarchism that have a flat hierarchic structure and could still be considered organizations. What parent was suggesting is closer to nihilism, which is a common misunderstanding because in films anarchism is generally portrayed as nihilism[1].

- jessaustin 8y agoHaha metaphors are dumb. Anarchism is an opposition to arbitrary authority. Anarchism is not a breakdown, but a response to a breakdown. I.e., the lies we are told about authority by authority break down when viewed in the light of our experiences with authority. When we disbelieve those lies, we turn to anarchism.
