I have a girlfriend that would disagree with you, at least from a pragmatic point of view. On the way to "true liberty" (i.e anarchy), isn't it appropriate to fight for such things as suffrage, equal pay for women, abortion rights, etc ? I suppose she would say you have to get your hands dirty in the existing system sometimes to accomplish anything, which admittedly is a thin fucking tightrope to balance. <snip>
