Anarchy is complicated. Its like trying to explain Utopia.
In a lot of peoples minds it's the same thing with just a new label on that thing our parents sat on government steps protesting for. There are those who think punk is a clothing style, that matches your black ipod, and the "A" is cute and goes with heavy eyeliner when you visit Hot Topic at the mall.
If you've only ever met posers: punk and anchy are sickening. True chaos is pathetic.
Heres a rant from SLC Punk. It explains the reasons we fight... AND don't believe in fighting!
A fight: What does it mean and where does it come from?
An Essay: Homosapien. A man. He is alone in the universe.
Anarchists. Still a man. He is alone in the universe, but he connects. How? They hit each other. No clearer way to evaluate whether or not you're alive.
Now. Complications. A reason to fight. Somebody different. Difference creates dispute. Dispute is a reason to fight. Now, to fight is a reason to feel pain. Life is pain. So to fight with reason is to be alive with reason. Final analysis: To fight, a reason to live.
Problems and Contradictions: I am an anarchist. I believe that there should be no rules, only chaos. Fighting appears to be chaos. And when we slam in the pit a show it is.
But when we fight for a reason, like rednecks, there's a system, we fight for what we stand for, chaos. Fighting is a structure, fighting is to establish power, power is government and government is not anarchy. Government is war and war is fighting.
The circle goes like this: our redneck skirmishes are cheap perversions of conventional warfare. War implies extreme government because wars are fought to enforce rules or ideals, even freedom. But other people ideals forced on someone else, even if it is something like freedom, is still a rule; not anarchy.
"Why did I love to fight?" I framed it, but still, I don't understand it. It goes against my beliefs as a true anarchist. But there it was. Competition, fighting, capitalism, government, THE SYSTEM.
What was the point? Final summation? None
