Protect the Children: Anarchist Thoughts on the Evils of Pedophilia
Children are the most cherished, but most defenseless humans on earth. They are little people, people still developing, growing, and changing. To take advantage of these innocent little people is deplorable beyond comprehension. It takes a special kind of scum to harm a child; and unfortunately, it seems the world is rife with scum. From…
Read MoreFrom Statist to Anarchist: A Metamorphoses Through Healing
To become an anarchist one must undergo self-therapy. Anarchists must relive past traumas and examine their histories. This is how they morph into freedom advocates. One cannot just suddenly claim they are an anarchist, mention they studied Rothbard or Spooner, and then hatch from the egg of Statism. Being an anarchist involves experience and knowledge…
Read MoreNotes on Love and Closeness or (Relationship Art)
Love and closeness are the most precious values in my life. Without my darling wife, I would be adrift. Cecillia inspires me to attain lofty goals; and likewise, I encourage her to achieve greatness. We allow ourselves to take risks and to create art together; to make our shared goals creative in nature. In this…
Read MoreReject the System and Awaken the Anarchist Within
How can people so easily fall prey to the two-party system? How can they believe they fit neatly within the confines of one party or the other. It’s tragic, because the current system implies all people think similarly, or at least fit into one of two tightly defined camps. It suggests they don’t have their…
Read MoreThe Anti-Authoritarian Architecture of Dance and Rave
Dancing invokes a heightened emotional state characterized by positive feelings and infectious enthusiasm. Rarely does the urge to hurt or threaten another human result from harmoniously moving, swaying, and stepping to the rhythm and thump of a beat. Dance will therefore always be loathed by those that dwell in the chambers of power. The elite…
Read MoreAnarchism is Deeply, Intimately Personal
Being an anarchist is not just a catchy and trendy, temporary way of life; nor is it a passing fancy or a cool philosophy to use for the sake of winning arguments. Anarchism is deeply, intimately personal.
Read MoreRelationalism Part 2: A Softer Aesthetic for Freedom
As I have attempted to demonstrate, anarchist groups have mostly been comprised of people uttering the same “logical” truths, in a kind of echo chamber. They are stuck on the economic, logical, and moral vectors. They have not considered tackling the issue of anarchism and combating statism from other angles. And my goal is…
Read MoreDebunking the Myth of the Bad Child
The notion that children must be controlled, coerced, and hit is a vestigial cultural organ of society; it is unneeded and destructive. Neuropsychology has undermined this lie that children have to be controlled in order to be brought up well, as upstanding and virtuous people. At roughly two years of age, children are growing and developing…
Read MoreI was Spanked and I Turned Out OK—or did I?
Most everyone has heard or used the phrase, “I was spanked and I turned out ok.” This expression represents acceptance of kid hitting. It sits at the heart of American spanking culture and conjures similar phrases like, “My parents spanked me and that is why I spank my kids,” and “if more children were spanked there…
Read MoreAnarchy and Emotion: Overcoming Childism and Healing Emotional Injuries
(Note: This is Part 3 in a 3 part series covering Hard Versus Soft anarchism, the doctrine of Relationalism, and movement toward the Sensitive Society. This is my attempt to professionally reconcile the underlying truth of psychological findings with voluntaryist anarchism.) “The evolution of culture is ultimately determined by the amount of love, understanding and freedom experienced by its children…Every…
