That's why I used the term "total ideologue" -- someone who tends to reject conditionality. Or it could mean believing things couldn't be true if I believed them false.

As for how to break up unhealthy monopolies, there is no 100% foolproof way people could go about it.
I could generalize about a Ghandian approach, or a less peaceful one. Apart from that I cannot say much.

I wouldn't recommend using the state, because that is its own coercive and elitist monopoly. Really, it's like asking how one may escape from prison. Many methods might work in theory, but in practice there are no guarantees.

I am not a total idealogue in that I am not open to new views, new information and altering my position. This has happened twice in the time I have been on Volconvo. Though I doubt anyone could be bothered to look, including me, you can see that I have had two significant shifts in opinion and many minor shifts based upon someone's better arguments, opening my eyes to things I had missed. Communist, to left-anarchist, to libertarian. I am not so fool hardy as to think I am always right.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
