Anarchism suffers from being born into the negative mode. NO LEADERS, that's fine, there's never been a good leader in all human history as far as I'm concerned. And you can be sure I include Prouhdon, (the first person to call himself an Anarchist) in that summation. Though his letter to Marx sums up entirely what I know to be political a truth, Prouhdon himself was a misogynist and an anti-semite, and was probably a racist t' boot. Not stuff I'd sign on for.
But Anarchism is a path forwards. It might have roots buried deep in the past, but it's time to spread out over the canopy now. The Neo Anarchist is a positive Anarchist. Destroying government is unnecessary, this is a time to build, a time to join. The old structures are so worn, so pathetic, that they can be ignored, left to wither.
Power is discourse, power comes from below, power is egalitarian - we are all equals and we can all be heard. And, let me tell you, we the people who do not want to dominate, do not want to coerce OR be coerced. We, who want to live in peace and security, without threat or fear; we who wish to agree and be reasonable and be creative, without being greedy. We are the majority .
That is the meaning of Information Technology. We have the means to inform - each other. It's beautiful!!
