WHAT IS ANARCHISM?
Anarchism: The philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary."
"Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property: liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations." |

AN INFLUENTIAL BOOK FOR SUGGESTED READING!
I suggest to everyone that if you enjoy readin as much as I do that you pick up the classic book entited the Jungle by Upton Sinclair. For the most part it is a true to life tail of the lifestyles of refugees to this country in the early 19th century. The details Sinclair put into what hardships and demeanor these people truely suffered is amazing and will will give the reader an wide-eyed look at how low society can really sink while under the clutches of poverty. This book was also a huge controversy in its era and sparked great debates and huge wideswept radifications of the food and drug industries! Very worth the time i promise you! |
