Holy moly, dude. A group of people you meet isn't at all necessarily representative of a whole, no matter who or where. Those children are called "lifestyle anarchists", they're people who honestly have nothing to do with politics outside of using it as something to project an identity.
Political anarchists are libertarian socialists. You'll either find them organizing unions or else involved with left-wing parties. They also have coherent platforms and are more likely to not yell at you for not protesting or buying a third-world commodity.
>>7 Capitalists cannot be anarchists, as capitalism is corporate tyranny. The most it allows for is a kind of free market socialism in Mutalism.
>>10 Not true. All anarchists are radical anti-capitalists because they have recognized that capitalism is extraordinarily detrimental to liberty, of which anarchism is the highest expression.
>>11 Read the above. Also, you seem ignorant as to what socialism means. In libertarian socialism, it means that the means of production are administered by the people who have a productive relationship with them -- by the labor theory of value, it's cutting out the middle man. However, this can still be detrimental to liberty, so ownership over the means of production is officially extended to all stakeholders -- the nearby municipality, etc.
>>14 Anarchism does not at all mean "no government" in the sense that you understand it, which is "no social organization or authority". Anarchists seek to maximize liberty for everyone, not the individual. This means requisite power structures necessary to keep tyrannies and authoritarian relationships from forming are necessary. Anarchists disagree that this means a state -- labor syndicates and participatory federations are their proposed answer.
>>20 You make the same mistakes I pointed out to the above posters in your understanding of what socialism is.
>>24 You need not give up possessions to have a libertarian socialism. Rather, it's property that's incompatible. Think factories versus a workshop you have in your garage. You're the only person with a productive relationship to your workshop, you own it entirely by yourself.
>>26 >>30 >>32Did you know that there can be such a thing as anarchist police? Shocking, I'm sure. The idea is that they're not as necessary due to the incredible preventative defenses against crime that socialism would bring.
>>32 >Rule by trade unions?
Nope. Rule by no-one. Administration of industry by the workers, ownership by the people.
