Ohhhhhh, now, now. You're starting to backtrack. Your psuedo-revolutionary rhetoric may make a nice smokescreen for some, but you neglect to address any of the points I raised. I'm an "American loyalist?" You know nothing about me or my beliefs. And, your IP is from Florida, for goodness' sakes. You have FAR more of a right to refuse to do certain things in America, than you do in most parts of the world. If you can point to a country that has the Nirvana of perfection you seem to dream of, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Unfortunately for your vision, human nature prevents it on any large scale. Somalia is a good example of what happens with anarchy, but you don't seem to want to move to your dreamland there. Nobody, anywhere is COMPLETELY free (by your definition). You might want to read about "Social Contracts" from Locke et al. We accept certain restrictions and authority to gain the benefits of civilization. If you don't want those advantages, then go somewhere that doesn't have the social contract (like Somalia). But having complete freedom (by your definition) and the benefits of society at the same time cannot happen. Nice poster, though.

While I certainly would never hold the US up as an example of a perfect society, anarchy would be further from perfection than it. But your own statements imply the contradictory impossibility of what you dream of. Utopian societies only work on a tiny scale (like some hippy communes in the 60's). You aren't truly naive enough to believe there are no people in your "movement" who are greedy, or bullies etc., are you? And, as Andrew Young pointed out with the laughably unsuccessful Occupy Wallstreet demonstrations, there is a difference between an expression and a movement. Let's see... how many laws changed about banking and Wallstreet? Zero. How many crooks from the banking crisis sent to jail in the US? Zero. But, this "movement" you allude to, if it actually exists, is contradictory to what you purport to want. A "movement," by definition, implies structure, which in turn, has hierarchy. Hierarchy means different levels of influence, which is another term for power. So, your anarchy is simply another term for substituting one power structure for another. You say that "if I'm smart, there may still be time to get on board" for your movement. What will happen to me if I don't? Your movement will do something bad to me? What's the difference (for me) whether the status quo does something bad to me, or if your movement does? Sounds like your movement is every bit as bad as what you declare to hate. And of course, there's the obvious flaw that if I go by your definition I can just kill you and take your stuff. What happens to interstate commerce? We know there are children in our country who don't get enough to eat. How will anarchy get them food? Because of course food is power. Even if you manage to get things organized to take food to them, there's nothing stopping people from hijacking the trucks and hoarding the food. I'm sure fuel and it's shipping will work out great.

Of course, it'd be very easy for you to put your money where your mouth is. Simply move somewhere that already has anarchy. You could move to Somalia. They have no recognizable government (the UN controls, literally, about 3 city blocks). There's no power structure to tell them they can't do whatever they want. I'm sure you'd be welcomed with open arms, and you could enjoy anarchy to your heart's content. Be sure to send us a postcard! Oh wait. That's right, they don't have any working postal service.

That was the jingle on the TV commercial when I was a kid. Probably from 1962 or 63.

No, I'm not THAT old. I bought a box of records at an estate sale once, and it was full of old 78 RPM recordings, mostly from the 1920's to the 40's. A lot of Jazz and Blues, although there's all kinds of stuff. There are even a few that are much older (I think the oldest was 1916). There's one early one that lists Frank Sinatra as a member of the chorus. Must have been when he was first starting out. They're a lot of fun to listen to, though.

Although there's a difference between freedom and anarchy. Freedom protects the rights of the minority, while anarchy doesn't. But, the poster's right in the sense that you can't recognize beauty if you've never seen anything ugly.
