>> "Anarchy" <<
|
|
by -> ANdz0oey
|
|
|

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[the explanation.]
|
|
|
|
ANARCHY symbolizes an absence of government, and sometimes just
|
|
general CHAOS.
|
|
|
|
[the confusion.]
|
|
|
|
all punks love ANARCHY. they really do.
|
|
|
|
because, hey, considering the terrible failure of modern american
|
|
government, the entire anarchy movement truly should invite a whole lot of
|
|
attention from, you know, punks everywhere.
|
|
|
|
still, i can't help but think that there's something completely wrong
|
|
with the whole anarchist philosophy. and it pisses me off. cause i'm a
|
|
punk. and punks are supposed to love anarchy.
|
|
|
|
[so why can't anarchy work? and forget conventional interpretations
|
|
of american history.]
|
|
|
|
try to understand how american politics developed. ok, first these
|
|
"radical" americans got angry over these "conservative" british because the
|
|
brits were seeking to change the colonial way of life through huge taxations
|
|
and such. a sort of revolution occurs.
|
|
|
|
keep in mind that divisions did exist within the revolutionary group
|
|
itself: 1) the poor workers, who wanted complete social change to go along
|
|
with their revolution, and 2) rich conservative professionals, who despised
|
|
the brits because their property was being threatened.
|
|
|
|
alright, when the revolution is over and everything, the rich guys,
|
|
who are in control, are faced with a difficult task of designing a brand new
|
|
government. and they make the constitution.
|
|
|
|
so, it's during this part where you want to say: "oh no! that was a
|
|
big mistake! george washington and all those founding fathers really fucked
|
|
up with that one! i mean, what a stupid form of government! what were they
|
|
thinking! a supreme court? HA!"
|
|
|
|
but wait. shouldn't you first try READing the constitution before
|
|
ridiculing it in a like manner? go ahead. take a look at a copy of it
|
|
right now, maybe in an encyclopedia somewhere.
|
|
|
|
[now that you're done...]
|
|
|
|
you may dispute it, but from what i understand, the constitution that
|
|
the founding fathers developed actually represents a great achievement. not
|
|
only the document itself, but the whole attitude behind it. cause again, i
|
|
may be wrong, but it seems that, when devising their new government, the men
|
|
who wrote the document truly did realize what the hell is wrong with
|
|
mankind: innate selfishness.
|
|
|
|
yes. it's true. we're all selfish. you probably don't think you
|
|
are, but TRUTHFULLY you are very self-centered. do you say you love your
|
|
girlfriend, honestly? yes, of course you love your girlfriend! you love to
|
|
FUCK her! (ha, ha.) and why do you help people do stuff? cause it makes
|
|
you feel good, that's why! to make a point, even the founding fathers were
|
|
greedy! just take a big look at all of that shit about contract clauses in
|
|
the constitution.
|
|
|
|
anyway, it can just be assumed that those great historical figures
|
|
were right. yes, the government that george washington and his friends
|
|
created was exceptionally suitable for the evil that is american society.
|
|
see, you might think that to regard everyone and everybody as selfish is a
|
|
cynical statement, but it's not. it's REALISTIC. and it was because the
|
|
fathers were realistic that they made a (kind of) peaceful form of rule that
|
|
lasted way up until the civil war.
|
|
|
|
[almost the end.]
|
|
|
|
now, where does anarchy fit in? alright, it's true that when the
|
|
rich guys wrote the constitution, they were explicitly thinking about
|
|
suppressing the poor ignorant farmers. yeah, but the founding fathers were
|
|
smart. they knew that if the dumb workers got control of the government,
|
|
chaos would ensue. not only chaos, but ANARCHY, too. and that's a hint;
|
|
without control, selfishness breeds anarchy, EVIL anarchy: you know, war,
|
|
death, famine.
|
|
|
|
[the end.]
|
|
|
|
so, am i saying that today's government is a-ok? nope. not at all.
|
|
modern america pisses me off. see, cause after the industrial revolution,
|
|
the original form of american government that acted so well had been
|
|
severely warped, until: you know, Vietnam, racial riots, the 80s.
|
|
|
|
so, you say, what can be done? unfortunately, i truly have no idea.
|
|
cause, ironically, i definitely believe that anarchy and destruction of
|
|
government COULD work. not now, though.
|
|
|
|
huh... if only mankind could be changed, changed so that restriction
|
|
of a SELFISH people wasn't an issue. but i've got lot's of time to think
|
|
about a solution. cause i'm a punk, and that's what punks do.
