What ideology do you most agree with?

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-04 15:23

What do you consider yourself to be?
Please use the most specific term you can.
Also, what party do you usually vote for? (please list country)

Please, don't start arguments about ideologies, just answer the questions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Christ, the understanding of Anarchism on this board is beyond pathetic.

"can't even give a straight answer to a question as simple as "how do you intend to stop criminal gangs from taking over in the power vacuum". Sorry but I'm not a tool."

No sir, you are a tool because you're discussing something without even a basic understanding of it. Every school of Anarchist thought (except for the rare utopian strain) has an idea of how to protect people from other people. From privatized security and justice systems to local militias and neighborhood watches.

"The only reason I don't support anarchy is because it pretty much ignores poor people and allows for a lot of human rights abuses."

Oh yeah, Anarcho-communist and Libertarian Socialists hate the poor, right?

Anarchism is a radical egalitarian philosophy. Anarchists goals are to create a classless/stateless society. Both things you mention require hierarchy and are, by definition, not anarchistic.

"this where the marxist roots of collectivist anarchists kick in"

Yeah, Marxists and Anarchists are BFFs! This is why Marx kicked Bakunin and the entire Libertarian wing outa the First International and Stalin crushed the CNT-FAI during the Spanish Civil War. Collectivism and small "C" communism for that matter have been around longer than Marx.

You don't even understand that the fundamental disagreement between Marxist and Anarchist is how to achieve a classless/stateless society. Anarchists don't believe in using the state to achieve a stateless society because that's fucking stupid.

I'm not saying you have to be an Anarchist, I'm just saying you should have a basic amount of knowledge on the topic before you start trying to tear it apart.
