Is anarchism desirable? Well, who does not seek freedom? What man, unless willing to declare himself in bondage, would care to call any control agreeable? Think about it!

Anarchism is the great liberator of man from the phantoms that have held him captive; it is the arbiter and pacifier of the two forces for individual and social harmony.

Anarchism can teach Christian thinkers to see the realities of our societies from a different standpoint than the dominant one of the state. What seems to be one of the disasters of our time is that we all appear to agree that the nation-state is the norm.

Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others.

I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence; but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.

For, just as it has been said that there is no half-way house between Rome and Reason, so it may be said that there is no half-way house between State Socialism and Anarchism.

THE FOURTH EYE
of
A post-conceptual poet.
I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal. Nowadays, I regard myself as a libertarian. I suppose an anarchist would say, paraphrasing what Marx said about agnostics being "frightened atheists,"that libertarians are simply frightened anarchists. Having just stated the case for the opposition, I will go along and agree with them: yes, I am frightened. I'm a libertarian because I don't trust the people as much as anarchists do. I want to see government limited as much as
possible; I would like to see it reduced back to where it was in Jefferson's time, or even smaller. But I would not like to see it abolished. I think the average American, if left totally free, would act exactly like Idi Amin. I don't trust the people any more than I trust the government.

Fleur de Lis
In this unfettered free fall
To the ocean of sounds
A pensive monument stood
Like a sundered lamppost
Aglow in the stretching dusk
Its immaculate skin aloft
With a dainty willowing
Like praying hands up to heaven
Beseeching safeguard
From the inveigles of anarchism
Its angular bud pouts a lip
To forbid an unsolicited kiss
The suspended blossoming of petals
Uncurled with a redolence
Heralding the shift of vicissitude
That lost its radiance that burns
In the skewing of its burls
And as time mordantly flies
It unfurled a sleeping hope
Debilitating the darkness inside
Against the lifeless age of time
Its non committal invitation
Sent me floundering in meadows
Where a distraught venture lapsed
Only to festoon this barren land
Wistful lily, apprehensive lily,
Purge me from this malady.

Anarchy Camp
I got an invitation to anarchy camp
There will be twistin, fistin, biting, fighting all in an evening
The soundtrack will go multi platinum
Barbecue a boca while the effigies burn
You may not wanna stay to see how we take care of a turncoat
Christinas kinda far away so come a long with me
We can dance and trip and be anarchists
We gotta get the manual and put it in the oven til it cooks
Then were gonna take the ashes to the wassail
And use them to spike the punch
Rules of anarchy camp: reckless abandonment, random acts of dumbness will be rewarded
If you see somebody taking charge, youll be expected to beat them
Cuz everyone whos no one, will be participating
No one who is someone, will ever get to know the joys of anarchism, destruction of the system
So come along with us salad days and nights on the anarchaic bus
Were gonna pick up indigents and crusties and a half a dozen nuts
And were never coming home
Underwater basket-weaving (we got some arts and crafts)
Meth-amphetamine symposiums (they last a couple days)
African killer spelling bees (you better get it right)
Bowling in ice hockey rinks (of course checking is allowed)
Anarchy camps never inert (you think we dont know that its)
Not much fun til someone gets hurt (our only motto)
So were greasing up the rusty vert ramp
Time to make some reservations for next years
