RE: I am an Anarchist.
This is largely consistent with my observations. Most of the time it's about groups that meet each other at eye level. Sometimes they are even playing chicken with outsiders, testing people's self-esteem. Most everyday people are trying to dominate you, or are happy being dominated - only able to cooperate under a common leader following orders, or acting against a common imagined enemy. Without a leader or a common enemy they will fight against their own people, so they do not fit in a anarchistically organized group. They can only be used as heelers or subduers.
this is why anarchy besides the things you mentioned in the OP is a philosophy and political system of educated people.
The american system, as has been often stated, is one that has for many years been intentionally under-educated so that they will be more easy to control and more likely to go fight, for instance, in afganistan and still stupidly think they are 'defending america' while they guard heroin plantations for the mafia.
An uneducated human is worse than an animal, they will act without virtue and convince themselves either that it is actually virtuous, or they have no choice. A lion who eats an antelope won't say 'well, he was going to get eaten anyway' or 'lions are just better than antelopes' or 'this is just the cost of doing business' or some such like the lion is some moral hero for killing another being.
humans, like i said, will travel to the other side of the world thinking they are defending their home and not think twice about it if they are getting a paycheck.
hard to feel much allegiance or pride in being part of any of it. it is quite disgusting.
You're right. For an intelligent and/or feeling human being it is not possible to understand how it is possible to indoctrinate western people/society in a way that they are really thinking that they are fighting a defensive war in Afghanistan against people not able to construct simple cars, for example. They do not have any possibility to attack any western nation in any other way than from within it's own boarders. Nazi-Germany was not superior to Poland at the beginning of WW2 to an extend as the US is today to Afghanistan, the whole Arabic world and a large portion of this planet.
