Isaiah EvansonWhy are you okay with anyone exerting authority over you at all?


What if I'm the one with the authority?

WarCat72Me personally, in game I bow to no one. I travel where I want, pick up the jobs I want to work, and generally do as I please. In the real world it's not much different. However, if you do work for someone other than yourself, you have a boss who is in a position of authority over you. Look, you can be edgy all you want, but unless you live on your own private island there is always someone who is in a position of authority over you. Be that the city, state, province, or country. Besides all that, I've seen what places that are in total anarchy are like, those are places that nobody would want to live in.


Your ignorance of what anarchy is is showing. Would you like me to educate you or point you in the direction of the nearest online repository of anarchist literature to help you gain a better understanding of it?

I’m ignorant, sure thing bud. You know nothing about me at all, not the places I’ve been to, the things I have seen or done, my education level, nothing at all. Yet you want to educate me on what anarchy really is? Your political science version of anarchy is cute and endearing, and I’m sure makes you popular with the local edge lord group. Let’s go to a few places in South America, you can see what real world anarchy is like then maybe you will have something to talk to me about.

Talk about edge. Tough guy over here doesn't want to crack open a few books. That's cool.

Do you like vanilla or chocolate?

Boot? I was talking about ice cream, though it's almost winter so probably will not be eating much of that for a bit.

Did you guys ever manage to get that Anarchy back in Colonia from the geezers who took it away? I remember a lot of angry Colonians who suddenly couldn't get a bunch of ships.

Haha. Read a history book and find out why it's like that.

Spoiler: it wasn't the anarchists.

We gave them hell but the bastards eventually won. Took them three wars, but numbers eventually win out.

We did get some payback though. Kancro Vantas doesn't own jack shit up there anymore.

I know why it's like that, everyone just assumes that people can't or won't read history now days.

Then you know it wasn't the anarchists that made it that way.

Can assure you the Feds didn't help matters down there.

Is that your standard fallback position? Call a person a book licker because I wouldn't ask you to educate me?

I have these books on my shelf in my office here at home.
Proposed Roads to Freedom (1919) by Bertrand Russell
Anarchism or Socialism (1924) by Joseph Stalin
In Defense of Anarchism (1970) by Robert Paul Wolff, this one I have read more than once. It can be a bit dry at times, but it was an interesting read.
The Coming Insurrection (2007) by The Invisible Committee
Anarchism: A Marxist Criticism (2011) by John Molyneux
Immigrants Against the State (2017) by Tom Goyens

Tell me, what book do you think I need to read to better understand Anarchy?

That is a funny book to read. Did you hear Archer's voice when you read it, or was that just me?

I read the whole thing in Archer's voice. It was so perfectly written.
