RE: The History of Anarchism Part 2 - Anarcho-Federalism
Thank's Alex, and I'm glad I have such a high-level skilled reader and commenter. :)
It takes a long effort to read them all under today's maximum 10-minute attention span maximum for any mater.
My writing comes from reading every mind-opening radical book I could get since I was 8 years after a crazy addiction to comics. (I'm nothing of a genius, but I started reading at 5 years old just because I was living in Africa, and at the time, there was no TV, so books where my great love besides the jungle) and libraries were my safe haven.
As John Cage said "I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."
I heard the Dalai Lama in Lisbon saying something like this: There are people in the world that are happy because they know that things come from the inside, but the other half of the world is convinced that things come from outside, making themselves unhappy, and make life miserable to the other half that sees things coming from within. hehe
So that's why we are all condemned to be unhappy. :(
Yeah, I love books as well. I am again and again startled at the extend people link life quality to technological developments and consequent dependence being created. Like "what would life be without mobile phones or cars?" I am happy to know that cars won't be existing on my planet of birth next life nor will technology be playing a role, which again of course matches with my state of consciousness "As within so without", a process which is in the middle unfolding already.
