Quote by: Technosoul  The big surprise is I expected a lot of kids with black t shirts and puck rock hair cuts. Instead they were little old ladys and gentlemen dressed like bankers. Not at all like the Sex Pistals who made a song about being anarchists. Plus, the historical film clips was great stuff.
Mainstream TV should air this stuff that I saw on your webpage.
As I watched it seems not so much the governments that were the main problem, but it was the machines and the conspiracy to make humans slaves of that system of machines. eh? |
Yes, it is basically against systems that treat people like machines or slaves while depersonalizing them. This basic idea applies quite generally to the world--how the workplace and other oganizations function. It also implies we need to get rid of things like the "illegal immigrant" label, which no doubt regards people as mere entities to be shifted around at the whim of authority figures.
For me, anarchism is simply common sense. I'm not saying I embody the ideas perfectly, but it makes sense to challenge all authority figures and abstract entities, even the ones we may happen to work for to feed ourselves. As the film suggests, anarchist principles (even if they are not always identified as such) are responsible for improvements in how workplaces function and in life generally.
