I hated the rodeo scene. A cruel sport. Anarchism needs to join forces with environmentalism and animal rights. No one can be free until ALL are free. ALL include human animals and non human animals and the earth. I know a lot of anarchist communities raise animals for slaughter. This has divided me from them and I wish they would consider extending their belief in free will and dignity to all creatures. I am an anarchist but before that I am compassionate.

"All anarchists are socialists, but not all socialists are anarchists" -Bakunin,

"We hold that freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice and that socialism without freedom is tyranny" -Bakunin. Libertarian/ anarcho-capitalists are not socialists, so therefore they are nothing more than bougeousie oppressors! There was a time when "libertarian" meant libertarian socialism (Anarchism). Now hopefully that cleared any confusion. This is a horrible, pro- anarchist- individualist propagan

I think some of you guys are mistaken. The main commonality of all anarchists is the abolition of the state. Individualist anarchists still want to abolish the state. Libertarians do not. That one principle puts a big gap between libertarians and any kind of anarchist. Libertarians just want very limted govt. under the same oppressive govt., so they can live doing what they please but anarchism of any kind wishes to end the state because they realize that the state is the root of man's problem.

@4500jas I disagree. Individualist anarchist isn't crazy. Didn't you just see the old lady they interviewed? We are not against collectivism or anarcho syndicalist, we support them. Individualist anarchist are not capitalists. All anarchist must realize the dangers of capitalism. All despice authority as the key to anarchism, so it would never lead to that. Most anarchist are anarcho socialist or syndicalists, but individualist anarchism is simply an extension of it that focuses more on individu

@rosawasright yes I agree. They need to distinguish the 2 types of anarchism, the mainstream anarcho-communists and the anarcho-Capitalists/crazy individualists. Anarchist-individualism will not work, it will only create more economic oppression. Screw that Libertarian conservative/ anarcho-capitalist BS. To learn what anarchism really is, read Kropotkin and Bakunin.

the road is built and maintained by people with the truckers interests at heart I believe is the point the alternative to self centred greedy goverment is not self centred greedy private companies but worker owned road builders that consult with and include the truckers and users of the road

this is an awful documentary. it moves seemlessly from emma goldman to this kind of individualist "anarchist" half-thought through claptrap. we go from the profound thoughts of bookchin to libertarian capitalist BS without any intervention, narration or explanation whatsoever - choosing on its way to play into nationlistic gringo sentiments with no good reason give. boo hiss!

[tomitstube]

it would seem the more you peel back this type of anarchism, the more it smells like libertarianism. what the truck driver fails to realize is his taxes pay for the roads he drives on, the interstate system. now, unless he wants to go back to the rugged individualism of wagon training thru dirt, how are the highway systems going to be paid for? it's impractical to think otherwise, the life he likes so much would go away if he had to pay a toll to private owners.
