no sarcasm here. read the definition of anarchy in a respectable dictionary. anarchy is best practiced by one's self. cooperation is anathema to anarchy. unless, of course, the definition of anarchy has suddenly changed on me... the problem with these groups is that they find a word that sounds "kewl" and decide to base a governmental idea around it. you can't have a government based on anarchy because the two are exclusive. here's the sarcasm... government anarchy result true false true false true true true true false -----Original Message----- From: larry a price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 2:02 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [EUG-LUG:2131] anarchist conventionalism > > the gutter-punks usually only show up when they decide to have an > "anarchy-convention" (funny that people gather together and cooperate to > further anarchy...) > > i further the "freak" notion, btw. that way, all of us can safely say we > love (or hate) eugene while keeping any thoughts about hippies, punks, > cowboys, kowgrls, linux users, bsd users, white poeple who think they look > good with dreads, >people who think anarchy is a cooperative group activity >^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >not realizing that this defeats the whole purpose of anarchy, etc... >^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > seperate from our thoughts on the town. I was kind of under the impression that the ideal of anarchism *IS* voluntary cooperation, without authoritarian coercion of any sort. Sort of the way the LUG runs, everybody does their bit and nobody is forced to participate. Of course we really don't want to get stuck with that label... unless-there-was-a-big-ole-sarcasm-tag-around-yr-post-ly yours, larry
