Defeat Socialism, before it is too late!
I know that may sound conflictatory to my dedicated readers that don't discern nuances too good, but it is actually not.
Anarchists have long rued the day that socialists ruined their good thing.
If you do the reading you see that both come from Proudhon in the mid 19th century, mainly.
Beltway Deep-Staters have repeatedly ignored high crimes on the part of their operatives, but they are clearly intent upon cherry-picking the law until they find some basis upon which to remove this president, even if the charges they ultimately level against him amount to the political equivalent of jaywalking.

Recently, I found myself puzzling over the social media post of a self-identified conservative.
This individual questioned why so many people fear the political left these days given the rise of populism (which resulted in the election of Donald Trump to the presidency) and the fact that prominent operatives on the left are employing histrionics, slander and depraved rhetoric to a degree that – as this individual postulated – they can’t help but alienate an increasing number of Americans, thus decreasing their future chances at the ballot box.
While I certainly appreciate the “glass half full” perspective of such a person, it is at times like this in which I wonder if I’m the only one who perceives the dark designs of socialists in America and their single-minded determination for what they are.
I, for one, will readily admit to being more fearful of socialist ascendency in this country right now than I was when Barack Obama was president – and I was pretty damned fearful then.
Yes, it is true that Donald Trump was elected president because a preponderance of voters were disgusted with the political status quo and the lies of the parasites we’ve been sending to Washington for decades.
I suspect that many of those who voted for Trump were also beginning to perceive that the two-party system has become a lie, that the Democratic Party has become overwhelmingly socialist in the operative sense, and that the Republican Party exists to provide little more than an impotent foil against them, misdirecting their base as socialists on the Democratic side gain more and more ground.
Yet, inasmuch as an animal in the wild can become considerably more dangerous when it is cornered, I believe that the left has become similarly more dangerous because of the threat of President Trump and the populist leanings of the electorate. While radicals of many stripes were empowered by the solidarity they enjoyed with the White House when Obama was president, we have nevertheless seen a dramatic expansion of their efforts and an amplification of their rhetoric since Trump became president.
The phenomenon of “democratic socialism” presently being marketed by the left like a “Tickle Me Elmo” doll or the newest
X-Box certainly evidences this.
Under Obama, they were comfortable and assured.
Now, they’re desperate and terrified.
Even more disturbing is how evident the insinuation of radicals at the highest levels of our government has become. While the moronic blathering of an aging actress that
“Make America Great Again” ball caps are “the new KKK hood” and the pitiful contention on the part of Kamala Harris that an attack on a young black actor in Chicago was somehow Trump’s fault may be emblematic of the left’s penchant for hyperbole and deceit, they’re still just individuals voicing baseless charges.
The degree to which the machinery of our government has become compromised, however, should chill the reader to the bone.
I know it is swimming upstream, but I think it is important to learn the things that we intentionally omitted from western educations.
Until most of you learn the extent of the false premises you have been fed, this is what we get.
I wrote a paper about anarchism in college. In order to address all the nuance properly, I separate out non-socialist variants as being distinctly separate philosophically and then focused on the socialist variants. In short, I found all socialist variants of anarchism to be completely untenable (effectively they ride the coat-tails of capitalism and serve well as counter-cultural movements to curb the excesses of capitalism, but they would be completely unsustainable on their own).
In practice I'm rather moderate because I think radical social change would be too disruptive to result in philosophically 'pure' outcomes, but philosophically I'm an anarcho-capitalist. (Which you see in the voluntaryist design of my work here on Steem).
Any links to your work?
I'm interested in knowing the parameters of your research because some things you say are incongruent with my understanding of anarchism.
For instance, an-crap is a contradiction in terms.
Ultimately, for me, it comes down to being ruled by force, or not.
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Keep working, stop paying.
I think the contradiction in terms was why I excluded the whole ancap movement from my paper, but it was at least fifteen years ago. It was just a paper for a class, not a full thesis or anything. I checked my old blog from college and I never published it there, which means it remains unpublished.
Anarchist, or not an anarchist?
It's already too late. Socialism tends to lose its luster among individuals who have been here long enough to know that his time and labor has been compromised.
Socialists have picked up on this, and are aggressively promoting immigration. Immigrants tend to vote on the left so they can easily replace the deserters.
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
If sending in the troops was off the table, we wouldn't have these problems.
The earlier the better we do so
