Anarchy

Anarchy is a very misunderstood philosophy. When most people hear the word anarchy they think either "Wha..." or "If there was anarchy I could shoot you in the face right now." But neither of those are what it truely is! I think Emma Goldman said it best in her famous essay entitled, Anarchism. "Anarchism urges man to think, to investigate, to analyze every proposition." She goes on to define Anarchism as "The Philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law ; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary." I personally beleive in lightly structured Anarchy.
