anarchism is the only political belief on the planet stupider than nazism. people arent ever gonna be little fruitcakes frollicing around in the meadow we need to fight and without leaders to keep us in check thats all we will do. LOL there arent any laws or goverment in most of somalia how bout you faggots all go live there???

Wise words from an obviously well-educated individual. We should all take a page from his or her book in the argumentation department. Ma'am, or sir--whichever the case may be--I salute you.

While it's true that not ANYONE can do ANY job, it's erroneous to claim that the people who get paid more work harder or are more skilled.

Anarchism seeks to abolish the wage system anyway, so this talk of wages is useless.

And of course you should write the name of the song in the description.

@mlc34932 organisation is what keeps humanity in check not leaders. anarchism is the idea of a societal organisation without government, this can can be done through various methods such as a council of delegates, consensus decision making, and trade unionism....seems far fetched i know but it's not as childish as people assume it is.

sorry but thats a crap way to use youtube. say something istead

@destructicon500 Everybody would be free if there was no state (and no border) to f**k the whole thing up. Now, an important part of everyone's wage is stolen by government. Government will also arbitrarily decide how much money they take from every individual and enterprise. If you're friend with the power, will have taxes brake, if you're not, it will be really hard to compete against those who are. And I,m not even talking about all the permit and license you'll need.

[destructicon500]

@MrMaxBoivin And also, given your example of what "freedom" is, pretty much everyone in an industrialized country is "free." Which is sort of erroneous.

[destructicon500]

@MrMaxBoivin Considering that I'm not really into "radical" politics anymore, I'm not going to try and defend anarchism or anything, but my understanding is that anarchism as presented in this video series is anarchist-communism/anarcho-sy­ndicalism. What you are talking about sounds more like agorism or "right-wing anarchism" or whatever kids call it these days.

[MrMaxBoivin]

@destructicon500 People that are paid more are usually more in demand (except in the case of union and public job). Anarchism DOES NOT seeks to abolish the wage system. MARXISM does. Anarchism want freedom for everyone, not everybody to be force to the same salary. I'm free to negotiate my salary and to accept to work for someone or not. The employer and the employee agreeing on a fair price for the work to be done, that's freedom.
