I won't say I told you so to certain Parsons, ahem, I mean persons, (whoops!), but no-one can go against the irrefutable evidence of the test... sadly, I am not the Republican everyone thought. I wonder how high some people's fascist percentage might go, though...

Freedom


"The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obeys the laws of nature because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual."


- Mikhail Bakunin, Dieu et L'etat, 1882


Anarchism is nowadays a widely misunderstood concept, the meaning of the word 'anarchy' come to imply some sort of dissolute and violent state. The word, as most anarchists use it, does not imply chaos, nihilism or anomie, but rather a harmonious anti-authoritarian society that is based on individual self-determination and personal involvement.

There are close links with Marxism, Leninism, Trotskyism, communism, feminism (unfortunately with the modern bra-burning manhaters as well as the Suffragettes), the labour movement & working class and environmentalism. There are Christian anarchists, and surprisingly, anarcho-capitalists.

Peter Kropotkin, in 1902, argued that mutual aid was a natural feature of animal and human relations. Most anthropologists agree that the State is not a natural phenomenon and that many hunter-gatherer bands were egalitarian and lacked division of labour, accumulated wealth, or decreed law, and had equal access to resources.

If you want an audience - start a fight.

For any of you unfamiliar with the name Banksy, he is a controversial and covert graffiti artist in the truest sense of the word - anarchic and gifted.





Today I found a quote from him...

Nothing is sacred.

I read a book about the life of Leonardo Da Vinci recently which said that most of the Renaissance masters were secretly homosexual.
It said they recruited brothel workers to model for major paintings and that their biggest patron was the catholic church.

Essentially I learnt that the most revered and sacred art in the history of mankind is poofs painting prostitutes for paedophiles.

And I thought graffiti had a bad reputation.

Endlessly, She Said

Two seminal albums soon to be released:

AFI - Decemberunderground - Miss Murder.mp3

(Davey Havok / Jade Puget / Adam Carson / Hunter)

Continuing in the vein of 'Sing the Sorrow' (AFI's previous and sixth LP), rather than the earlier punk (Answer That and Stay Fashionable) and hardcore (Black Sails in the Sunset) centred albums.

The Bouncing Souls - The Gold Record - Gold Song.mp3

(Greg Attonito / The Pete / Bryan 'Papillon' Kienlen / Michael McDermott)

The usual good old-fashioned sing-along punk rock!
