Anarchy In The UK - and elsewhere.

by Ian R Thorpe
20 August 2011

(An analysis of ANARCHISM: a much misunderstood political philosophy)

An outbreak of rioting, violence and looting in Britain's inner city communities in August 2011 was described by the media as anarchy. But to dismiss what was simple criminality as anarchy disrespects a well thought our political philosophy. In the real world anarchism would be unworkable as a system of government but the ideas it offers us are a powerful antidote to the control freakery of the political and corporate establishment.

Anarchism: What it really means by Emma Goldman
Anarchism - George Woodcock (from the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 1967)

RELATED POSTS:
Creativity Must Triumph Over ConformityBruce Elkin argues that to save civilisation creativity must triumph over conformity. We must kick our addiction to consumption, rediscover the things that are really important and use the unique abilities of humans to create a society in which fullfillment is the goal rather than wealth and power. In other words we must redefine what we mean by success.

Appeals court strikes down Arizona ban on abortions at 20 weeks
By Dan Whitcomb (Reuters) - A federal appeals court struck down an Arizona law on Tuesday that bans abortions from 20 weeks gestation, saying it violated "unalterably clear" U.S. Supreme Court rulings that women have a right to terminate pregnancies until a fetus is viable. The decision by a three-member panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals in San Francisco, which overturned the ruling of a federal district court judge, was hailed by abortion rights groups as a "huge victory" in a state they say has taken one of the nation's toughest stances on the issue. ...

He Who Controls The Food Controls The Universe.
A reference to Frank Herbert's Dune in the title, but this is not a fan piece.

And they say the food shopping list of all us ordinary punters in future will include Bread, Milk, Grubs, Beetles, Maggots, Locusts, Worms and Spiders.

The Jihad On Junk Food
You must have grown tired of all the wars governments are fighting. Not shooting wars (although the war on terror is war on an abstract concept) but war on smoking, war on drugs, war on crime, war on anti - social behaviour and the one they will never win, the war on alcohol. Government's must have grown tired too, or maybe
