Thank you for taking the time. I am surprised you responded so quickly. Working towards anarchy over a course of 200 years makes sense. Re- education would be needed. The family unit has been undermined in modern western society and I see it being even more so in the future. I have seen the full extent of this since I started living in western Asian countries, and seeing the closeness, dependence, and simple respect within the family unit, that is waning... in Australia, anyway. This along with teaching children their rights, with little emphasis on the personal and social responsibility that goes with them, in the school system, has shown me a growing dependence on the state, rather than dependence on family and immediate community. I'm sure I am preaching to the converted on this matter.
So, as you have addressed the issues I raised, ( I don't agree 100% but it's close enough to see we share some common vision) I ask "What now?" What do we do to move towards anarchy? What small changes can we make effectively, right now? I have been a political activist for years and a public speaker. I chose to speak from a Constitutional point of view, as that is the closest thing we have to a Bill Of Rights, but it is so open to interpretation, it is way too ineffective. I had to speak to people from varied political leanings, I was attempting to simply get people to empower themselves, see themselves as responsible for their own destiny and stand up to the growing nanny state, which is heading towards a very corrupt totalitarianism, where corporate entities run the show and the pursuit of money excuses a multitude of vices and "sins". Use, at least, the power we have under federal law , because we have relatively enormous amount of political power under the Australian Constitution.
I have seen anarchists who do not take responsibility seriously. Even to the extent of not picking up their own litter, but enjoying the dramatics of marching in a bandanna covered face, and trouble making. I know that is not anarchy. The anarchist movement is by no means alone in attracting pseudo activists, weekend /keyboard warriors Lol. It's just on topic. You should see where some of these greenies go for lunch after a rally. whispers "McDonalds".
I have seen so many people unable to grasp the concept of self ownership. It has frustrated me, it has almost disillusioned me. The last time I returned from overseas I noticed the public apathy had grown. Even in some people that were die hard activists before. The establishment is winning. I have seen the people get up and act and sit back down again, and stay there. People power is hard to achieve in peaceful, affluent country.
I could go on and on, but it's a comment, I'd better stop.
So what now dear? What's the next step?
Keep in mind my husband is in danger and is waiting for a visa and I cannot endanger his life by rocking the boat like I used to.
