ANARCHY IN THE--... oh, wait...
13 years ago
So... I have a slight dilemma.
I've come to realize that a lot of my political and economical theory leanings are decidedly pointed towards some offshoot of anarchy. Problem is, I've also come to realize that I am practically an a-political and a-economic kind of person, both things just give me a headache, bluntly. This goes as far as an apathy towards both things an a resignation towards their continuance.
So does that make me an anarchist? Or does that just make me lame?
I've been thinking about compiling my views on things (because the views of a biracial, gay furry really mean a lot to the American mainstream) in case anyone ever cared to know. I want to give the way of thinking a nice, flashy name. Theoretical Anarchy sounds way too verbose, though it does capture the main core of what I'm thinking about (the actions and ideas are theoretical, not really something that can be brought about easily), or with a more negative spin, Defeatist Anarchy, since it'd be about a resignation to a system that feels unchangeable. I'm leaning more towards the latter, actually.
That all being said, I know that FA isn't exactly the most cutting edge of places to bring up political thought, but I couldn't think of another place to share it. I'm not part of many internet social circles and I'm sure as hell not going to bring up something like this on Facebook. =/
Anyway. Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

look man...sometimes...its just too much effort, too much reading, too much drama...to keep caring about it all. i actually have a friend who wrote a biography of an anarchist from France. (the dude blew up his own cell of anarchists...for being too bogged down in parlaimentary procedure). At the end of the day...I don't favor anarchy because people are generally poorly suited to handle anything cooperative. in any case where millions are being dealt with...you can't more than a few dozen to agree on anything for more than a minute. Things work a lot smoother when theres some acceptance that not everyone is going to get their own way. Its a lousy starting point for the concept of government...but its brutally realistic.
