I guess I’m not as much as an anarchist as I thought according to this questionnaire.
My most resounding yes is “Do you think we live in an economic system which is stupid and unfair?”, the other ones are a way bigger stretch for me to answer yes to.
But don’t worry: if the questionnaire was true, no one would be an anarchist since the questionnaire is not internally consistent since it asks you to answer no to “Do you believe that human beings are fundamentally corrupt and evil” but yes to “Do you believe that most politicians are selfish, egotistical swine who don’t really care about the public interest?” 🤦🏻♀️
I should dig up the old Bookchin book that Ursula K. Le Guin based her “Odonianism” on because there’s a lot I like there. Putting the organize back into “don’t mourn, organize!”.
I believe that humans sometimes do greedy and malicious things. That’s why market capitalism is a problem in the first place! It amplifies and rewards those impulses in a way that’s a net negative for society.
I also believe we need some way to prevent or dissuade fossil fuel extraction and use. That’s missing from our traditional anarchofederalist toolbox. To what extent such “enforcement” can overlap with traditional law enforcement, I don’t know.
PS: I missed it on my first reread but he wants to automate coalmining? Ouch
