I may as well say openly that I am, in fact, an anarchist. While I know that many of you will automatically jump to conclusions about me, I wish to set the record straight about my ideology. Most people assume that "anarchy" is simply a society without rules or order. This is simply false. Anarchism is not a nihilistic *philosophy*, but a concrete political *system*. Anarchists desire a society without *hierarchy*, not without order.
Anarchism is a topic that I very much enjoy discussing with people. If you could please refrain from attacks and simply ask questions or present arguments in a civil and respectful manner, I will most certainly do the same. I wish this to be an intelligent discussion of issues and not a mud-slinging contest.
In order to give this discussion somewhat of a framework, I would like people to familiarize themselves to some extent with the "Anarchist FAQ", which can be found at www.anarchistfaq.org.
Some common questions that this FAQ answers are as follows:
"Are anarchists in favour of organisation?";
"Are anarchists in favour of 'absolute'
liberty?"
and
"Do anarchists support terrorism?"
Please realize beforehand that I will not respond to questions or arguments that are based upon the premise that anarchy and chaos are synonymous. This is simply a falsehood. If I am presented with such an argument or question, I will simply refer you to the appropriate section of the FAQ.
