> that you say "minority rights are growing" means that you accept that minority rights are short of where they should be. Everything's short of where it should be. That's reality. Tearing down this system and replacing it with another won't change that. > People don't choose anarchy because they want violence. They choose it because they don't like violence. Supposedly. Ideally. That's another case of having a nice theory, which may or may not reflect reality. > Those that choose violence want to obtain the "archy"/power for themselves. OK, and how do anarchists stop them without choosing violence? > Sure there are violent power hungry people that claim to be anarchists but that is not the core. No True Scotsman. Not very persuasive. > If you are not an anarchist, you don't get to decide who is anarchist and what an anarchist believes. And anarchists don't get to decide who I consider an anarchist and what I believe. It goes both ways. > It's much better to take people at their word and observe their actions I observe their actions. The G8 Summit in Seattle was very enlightening. > Kind of like telling gays that they are violent rapists and unfit to have families and marriages. As this democracy used to portray them and continues to do so. Wrong.
