The Anarchism Shelf

"Anarchist" is one of those words that has shocked people for generations--most especially when the people degenerate into bouts of social rage, unable to control their lives lashing out at anything that seems to be the oppressor. Vandalism, bombs, etc---if there were angry people, the media and corporations placed them in the "anarchist" box so the rest of the world would ignore them.

In most cases, most people hear the label and tune out. What they never hear beyond the name is that, actually, there have been a lot of people thinking about "no-leaders" for a very long time. What they've thought of has been cast into different variants of anarchism.  For obvious reasons, no public school education directed by the state will ever promote anarchism in the curriculum, it is up to you to decide to pursue it.
