There seems to be a lot of posts from various types of anarchists on Steem lately, which is a good thing. I would just like to point out that every single person on Earth is an anarchist (especially you!)

What do I mean by that?

Every single person is freely exercising whatever choices they have in the world, and dealing with the consequences of their choices. Anarchy believes in no rulers, and rulers do not in reality exist. We are all free to do whatever we chose.

A lot of humanity chooses to follow the herd, believing that this will bring them happiness. Personally, I think that this is a mistake, but the fact is that it is their choice. In any situation we find ourselves in, we always make a choice in how to respond to it.

Of course, the choices we make are shaped by our environment, past learning, and genetics, and most of them happen outside our conscious awareness, but nevertheless choices are made.

So, the person who toes the line, follows every edict of the state, and makes sure to keep up with the latest fashions, is an anarchist. They have no rulers, although they have chosen to pretend that they do.
