    I hope you know how stupid this sentence sounds to me.

    I hope you don’t expect me to care. I hope you know that state has more than one meaning. I hope you know that you misunderstood.

    The idea that anarchy won’t work in the world we live in comes from a lack of faith in people and the future. Sure it will require effort. It will take time to educate people. But to say it’s impossible is to give up on the idea of a better world.

    You refer to fascists, yes? We agree that fascists exist, yes? Do you expect fascists to agree to be educated in and conform to these ideas? That is one example.

      Yeah I guess I did. I just saw that collection of words and my mind jumped to “Lib said dumb thing”.

      You refer to fascists, yes?

      I refer to people. Everybody.

      Do you expect fascists to agree to be educated in and conform to these ideas?

      The ones alive right now? Probably not, but who knows. I don’t have a solution against the tide of fascism rising in the states. The only one I can think of goes against my principles as a pacifist. But I believe that humans are a result of the conditions they are raised in. Some conditions create fascists, others create anarchists. I just want there to be more of the latter and less of the former.
