RE: Does anarchy now mean running away?
I fight with ideas. this is the only way to win, violence is not good for many reasons and should be avoided at all costs. Bitcoin is a good example of a great idea which is a good way to fight the system. Steemit is also good from what I see so far. Running away takes yourself out of the game. Which could limit your ideas by decreasing your risk. Some anarchist leave their own home country but still do good fighting with ideas but it's not the same, it carries less weight because they left and no longer risk enough to really truly care about fighting for change in the very system they ran from. In my view anarchist does not mean to run from the problem? Again, I am probably very wrong. One could argue that the pilgrims who fled England to start again in America were anarchist? I could not dispute that? But I think they still had to fight that system to be truly free? Now the same system is back in America? Greater Economical and political systems of mass control? So here we are again. Should American now migrate to start again? Or should we support great ideas and fight that way like we are doing here on steemit? Just wondering? Just want to share ideas.
By fighting the system. Do you mean participating in the system?
I think that fighting it is exactly what we are doing when we speak about the ideas of liberty. We are utilizing our natural right, for lack of a better word, to debate and describe the failures of the system that enslaves us. We have the internet, for now, and we are using it to learn and teach. We win a big battle every time we open a mind. We win a small battle every time we figure out a way to barter, or grow our own food, or catch our own water.
I guess the big debate is whether to fight the system from within or to ignore it out of existence. I choose the latter, but either way. Figuring out how to make the government obsolete should probably be an objective that we all share.
