On Government: Why Politicians Fail

Repeated failure

Politicians and their governments repeatedly fail us. The reason why is remarkably simple. They don't know what you want. They don't know what you want, because they take your money by force.

On Anarchy: An Introduction

Anarchy as a word

"Wisdom is knowing the proper meanings of words" ~ Confucius
Anarchy is a word which has multiple meanings and when mentioned, implicit visions of violence and chaos spring to mind. But does anarchy really mean this? In this article, I want to recover the word anarchy to its true meaning and show that it is not some crackpot idea, but rather, an idea worth pursuing.

But why, why flog this seemingly dead horse? I do this because I believe in the idea that without 'rulers', society would be a much better place. I believe that in order to save our world from the brink of social, environmental and economic collapse we need to remove all forms of governance. Ultimately, I believe that anarchy is hope, the only hope we have for our civilisation.
