For Erin
This article, Defending Anarchy, starts out very good, but kinda trails off midway through. Anyway, the beginning is great…
Oh, and I just found a kickass little quote, on Strike The Root:
- “Government cannot exist without the tacit consent of the populace. This consent is maintained by keeping people in ignorance of their real power. Voting is not an expression of power, but an admission of powerlessness, since it cannot do otherwise than reaffirm the government’s supposed legitimacy.” ~ Fred Woodworth, Anarchism
Another quote I like from an article on Electoral Politics on the Info Shop:
- I will not be voting in the next election, nor in any election after that. I refuse to give my name to a system which can so easily be diverted and corrupted. Does this imply that I am apolitical? Far from it. But in a system which insists that individuals cannot make a difference, I will use everything in my power to do so. If this means breaking their laws, so be it. There are ills that need to be cured, and apathy is the only criminal element in dealing with those ills.
