Good afternoon! I feel inspired today. Or at least, I think I am feeling inspired. I've been doing a lot of reading online today- mostly in the forum on anti-state.com. Some fascinating debates going on in there, as well as terribly confusing ones. I can't quite fathom how a self-proclaimed anti-statist can call communist ideology 'the enemy'. I've thought about it and all I can think that perhaps it is the way in which state-less society is attained that this person disagrees with, because pure communism and anti-statism, as far as I can tell, both follow the idea of a stateless society.
I also read an article that said pure communism is anarchism... Maybe... but communism is moreso collectivism... Whereas anarchism would perhaps be more inclined with libertarianism. Read another essay which compared similarities between fascism and socialism. I thought it was a good read, check it out. However, bare in mind that this person is referencing the breeds of socialism that have actually been practiced, which, arguably, weren't really socialism... but that argument could perhaps go on for days. All I know is, that to me, the kind of socialism this person is referencing is not the kind of socialism that I would actually call socialism. Perhaps it's a matter of opinion. Anyway, it's a fascinating read nonetheless.
Currently I'm listening to a mix-tape (CD) of Leftover Crack, Star Fucking Hipsters and Choking Victim. I must be craving the lyrical goodness and musical bad-assness of Stza. It's odd though. Whenever I am reading an article/post/'status update' (etc) about someone who has died, this song happens to begin.
