    Every empty slogan harbours the ambition of one day growing up to be a thought-terminating cliche.

    Its okay if you cant (fully) relate to the shared experiences and feel emotions such as pain and anger behind those words. I certainly can and that what makes it powerful to me.

      It’s okay if you cannot appreciate behaviours that are more fundamental to human society than even speech is… but do not blame anarchism for said inability.

        Hey i dont know why you are reacting with such negativity. I also am surprised that you make such statements without acknowledging that words can have very different meanings to individuals and groups based on lots of really simple factors. Your understanding of the word leader is not better or more correct than anyone elses.

          Yes, let’s pretend everybody’s understanding of words are equally valid. Let’s pretend the capitalist’s framing of the word “anarchism” is perfectly valid. Let’s pretend the fascist’s framing of the word “socialism” is perfectly valid. Let’s pretend the liberal’s framing of the word “democracy” is perfectly valid.

          What could possibly go wrong, eh?

          Don’t be angry at me because you got caught doing a lot of talking about a concept that you assumed you understood but oh-so-obviously did not.
