I'm actually with you. I have to admit that the more I read about anarchy the more I like it, but I lean libertarian socialist. I want the best of both worlds. The reason I'm against privatizing everything is because of what happened in Bolivia when they privatized the water supply. The corporation that built the water delivery system was charging 1/3 of people's income for the service. It was a monopoly so people had no where to turn. They started collecting rain water. The corporation colluded with the Bolivian gov't to make it illegal to collect any rainwater. Riots ensued and eventually that corporation was forced out. But they sued Bolivia first to get there money back. I don't mind some things being public especially when it's a natural monopoly like water and power.
dont believe the re-branding. anarchy is not the 32 flavours icecream parlour of peace love and understanding that it is portrayed as today,, anarchy is brutal, violent and selfserving. the anarcho-fill-in-the-blank-isms began in the 70's as a re-branding of marxism to reduce the marxist negatives among people who saw naked marxism up close and escaped to tell the world what stalin, castro and pol-pot were really like.
all these anarcho-whatever-sells-best-in-this-market-isms propose demolishing and dissolving all existing social structures until only anarcho-whatever-makes-the-sale-ism remains, which of course immediately dissolves into true anarchy, which is the intermediate goal. once getting stabbed in the neck for a crust of bread, grand theft somalia style becomes the day to day, the people will turn to anything for some order and less neck stabbings, and hopefully a few more crusts of bread. thats when the marxists step up and declare that they have just the thing to cure your ills, a panacea for all your troubles, what that you ask? MARXISM! thats right! we've sold Marxism in Brockway, Ogdenvlle and North Haverbrook, and it sure put them on the map...
next thing you know your living better than you were under the previous anarcho-shoot-you-in-the-face-ist regime, but now your locked into the socialist nightmare and our constitution is gone forever.
anarcho-have-I-got-a-deal-for-you-ists dont give a squirt of piss for the second half of the hyphenated New Coke rebranding of their old worn out dogma, they just want to sell you the magic elixir that will wash away your constitution, and allow them to replace it with their failed ideas from the 19th century which have never worked. ever. listen closely to the real message that comes wrapped up in the pretty anarcho-bow and youll see the same old shit. the bourgeois/the rich/the 1% are keeping you down, and yoiu have to TAKE from them the wealth that they STOLE from the more deserving members of worker's party/proletariat/middle class, and we must overthrow the bourgeois regime and return income inequality to income EQUALITY like it should be, because nobody should ever do better than me. no matter how lazy i am, or how hard you work.
the anarcho-fill-in-the-blank-isms are just the latest attempt to convert the unbelievers to the true doctrine of marxism, after the last missionaries made no headway with their poorly mimeographed socialist newsletters and handing out maoist little red books. now they are doing what the catholics learned in the 10th century, adopt the ways and ideals of your target audience, and incorporate what they love, and their holy days into your religious panoply, then they can slip right into the catholic faith without even noticing that they were converted until it's too late and the wise women, and traditional elders have been burnt at the stake for heresy! awesome, one more notch on jesus' pistol belt. onward christian soldiers, next stop, the americas!
the "new Marxism talks a great game about fairness and equality for all, and no more rich bastards getting richer off the sweat of your brow, but the RECORD of marxists shows that they are even more duplicitous and greedy than the capitalist pig-dogs they seek to overthrow. thats why the workers live 8 to a flat in run down industrial service workers quarter district apartment buildings (think american subsidized housing projects, but for everybody, not just the urban poor) while the politburo members have dachas on the black sea and take vacations in the south of france or miami beach. this pattern repeats everywhere marxism takes hold, casto lives like a machiavellian price, while the average cubano is willing to swim 90 miles of open ocean swarming with hungry sharks just to sell oranges on the side of an overpass. kim jong un resides in palaces with serving girls, hookers and concubines, just like daddy and granddaddy did while the people eat tree bark and grass from the roadside.
anybody who claims to be a socialist is either a dumbass, a deluded dreamer, or a nefarious schemer with dreams of dictatorship. choose the brush with which to be tarred homey.
