"Of all parties I now see only one party- The Anarchist- which respects human life, and loudly insists upon the abolition of capital punishment, prison torture and punishment of man by man altogether." – Peter Kropotkin

@Radical_EgoCom As an Anarchist, I support an anarchist organization that is headless, with no authority making the rule, and people making rules for themselves.An "Anarchist Party" is just some itemporary invisible glue till we can dismantle the current paradigm and usher in a world of freedom. Then we can party al we want, and be excellent to each other.Here's a work-in-progress:https://github.com/ownlifeful/we.glue.earth

@ashwin I think Kropotkin wasn't using the word "party" in the same context that one would use in reference to a governmental political party.

@Radical_EgoCom Well, maybe there should be a political party to unite people to act in solidarity till politics itself can be abolished.But the thing is that all religions and ideologies put forth one way of thinking and exclude other ways of thinking, resisting them in totality, refusing to learn from them.Each ideology teaches you that if only everybody subscribed to that ideology or converted to that religion, the world would be a better place.So you have Communism and Jihad.We need to learn to overcome our repulsion of others and learn to communicate.

@ashwin How the heck could you compare Communism to Jihad?? Communism is an ideology centered around full social and economic freedom. Jihad is an ideology that is as restrictive and oppressive as all of the authoritarian theocratic ideologies that have come before it and currently exist. They aren't the same. All ideologies aren't the same, and therefore shouldn't be treated the same. You're talking about being repulsed by certain people subscribed to inherently evil ideologies as if that's some kind of bad thing. How's it bad for me to not like a person who is a Nazi and wants to either segregate or exterminate entire races from their country? How am I the bad person for not wanting anything to do with people like that, and telling other people that they shouldn't want anything to do with them? How exactly is a tolerant society supposed to be created if said society tolerates intolerance?

@Radical_EgoCom @ashwin Actually, the concepts of you both are very flat and generalizing. Even a simple search for the terms is enough to see that. But for dualistic ideologies concepts of antagonists and saviors are a common tool.

@goat I know. It's upsetting, especially since many of the people commenting are Anarchist.

@Radical_EgoCom @goat I thought this article on me topic was really insightful: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-tooBefore I read it, I thought the combination of billionare + guillotine sounded like a good idea. Now, I'm not so sure.
