Let's talk about anarchy

So... go for it.
And I'm not talking about hoodlums who stir up shit at otherwise peaceful demonstrations. I'm talking about real anarchy: where people are in charge of themselves and their actions/choices. (as we all are anyway, whether we recognize it or not)
Are you an anarchist? Why, or why not?

Hello. Before i go into anarchy I will say what anarchy is not: Anarchy is not the absence of an organized society. Anarchy is not the absence of law (laws in anarchy are made by the community). Anarchy is not the absence of a market (this differs in some schools of thought).

Also i need to say that i'm not realy an anarchist as i couldn't say i completely agree with any specific school of thought. On top of this, even if i did agree with a specific version of anarchy, I still wouldn't say I'm an anarchist because I do not have set ideas. I see my thought as evolving and cannot limit it to a specific worldview.

 I do find anarchy realy fascinating as a political theory. I see it as the evolution of democracy or to be precice, I see it as THE REAL FORM OF DEMOCRACY. Where people don't vote for pepresentatives, they vote by expressing their opinions on an issue, listening to other peoples opinions and decide unanimusly(where possible). This is also called direct democracy. In this sence: Anarchist = Extreme Democrat.

Anarchists do not recognise states and borders. They are anti-statists. They see all people as equals despite sex, race, language, sexual preferences, or anything else you can name.

Personaly I would like people to have a say on issues that concearn them and affect them. I hate other people deciding what's best for me. I am not an oppressive person and I would like to see an end to human oppression and exploitation. I see the states, religion and the banks as the source of human misery. They do their best to keep us dumb, numb and poor or living on loans. I see the corporations and the power they hold as a perversion of democracy (monsanto, haliburton, BP, you name it...).

Finaly, I am not a revolutionary. I believe the best way to change the world is to think ahead of your time and render today's world old.
