Okay, real talk. Honest to God, real, deep, honest, serious talk. If it would be possible for others to just open their minds for a moment, I would love for anyone to take the time to truly educate themselves on what Voluntaryist Anarchism really means. Hint: I now also realize that I happen to be one. Always have been... I just didnt know it yet. In fact, many others should be able to agree on these basic principles and ideals as well. Surprise surprise, the true meaning of the word anarchy is the exact *opposite* of what most people have been led to believe. The government is lies to you all the time... and maybe you know that already. But heres something you most likely didnt know: Anarchy does NOT mean lawlessness or chaos, or no rules... it simply means NO RULERS. (An- No, Archy- Rulers) In other words: NO tyranny, NO oppression... NOT violence or chaos, but instead, voluntary interactions, and peaceful co-existence! REAL freedom. The right for people to make their own decisions and be responsible for such; Self Ownership. Neither is this concept about every man for himself, but rather, voluntary organization and support between individuals, rather than by force, coercion, and threat of violence that we currently face from our own government. This Anarchy means that people should have the right to do anything, as long as its not causing harm and infringing on the equal rights of others; To never initiate violence, but also retaining the right, and ability, to defend oneself against potential aggressors who DO intend to do harm regardless of such basic principles. (I.e., people who either lack a conscience, or who, like most, have simply been tricked into doing harmful things because they believe that what they are doing right.) So, unless youre a sociopath, I think most of us can agree that non-aggression, non-oppression, equal and peaceful co-existence is the most preferable, mutually beneficial way for human beings to live. In summary, Voluntaryist-Anarchism is supposed to represent our inalienable rights... and guess what? That is EXACTLY what the US constitution is about. Anyone who might still have an issue with these words, or feels offended, is either still missing the point and misunderstanding this message, or is *willingly* defending ignorance, immorality, theft, violence, and other harmful things. The underlying problem is that, immoral acts done under law, whether by everyday folks, government officials or law enforcement, etc, does NOT make those acts moral! Right and wrong does not simply change just because some politicians, tyrants and psychopaths conjured up some magic words to try and make excuses for their actions, and to continually deceive us. We have to listen to our OWN consciences, rather than blindly following and believing everything weve been told, and indoctrinated to believe. Its perception that is the underlying problem. After all, In order to change the world, one must first change their mind. (P.S.: The following is a satirical video for those who might still need a more basic introduction to what peaceful Anarchism is like. Also, massive praise and thank you to anyone who took the time to read this post!) https://youtube/watch?v=pdDCaGQAU9U&list=UUFeK8ZdHbCqAq3gekWs8aEQ&index=54
