Anarchists Demand Government Protection!
That IS what you want, right? Or are you demanding "constitutional anarchy"?
Sorry, I just can't stop laughing. This is incredibly funny, and I say that with all due respect.

I still find it absolutely hilarious and stunningly hypocritical that anyone going by the moniker of "anarchist" would insist on government protection.

CLUE: The only rights you have are the rights you can defend.

I love that your idea of what an Anarchist can or can not do ammuses you so much. Maybe if you read some books you'd find it less funny.

You're too hung up on the dictionary term. The dictionary doesn't explain Anarchism thought, only what the base word means.

You know anyone can call themselves an Anarchists, but can you really live as an Anarchist when there is government?
Originally posted by ANOK
The answer is not really, so we're only Anarchists in theory.
Originally posted by ANOK
We have to work with what we've got, within the unfortunate confines of government. So yes, we can demand "rights" such as free speech.
Originally posted by ANOK
It's not asking for protection. The government doesn't protect free speech, it either allows it or doesn't allow it. And just like any free loving person should, we demand it.

Your constitution is not the be all and end all of what we should demand as our rights. And if you haven't noticed, your constitution ain't really worth much any more. Come back in ten years and see if you still have your constitution, or any of your rights left.

If your government can bend and change the constitution to fit it's agenda then it's not worth the paper it's written on.

Perhaps we should arrange for government financing of "anarchy" as well?
Perhaps a pension plan and health coverage for all those poor anarchists out there who can't seem to get by without the shelter of oppressive government?
"Anarchists" who demand government protection are NOT anarchists, just spectacular hypocrites -- as well as insufferable wussies.
If you can't make it on your own, you're not an anarchist, just a tool.
All my humble opinions, of course, as protected by my beloved "statist" Constitution.
ADDITIONAL CLUE: Anarchy= No government = No Constitution = No Constitutional Protection.
The real anarchists I've read about don't expect a free ride like posers do
You know anyone can call themselves an Anarchists, but can you really live as an Anarchist when there is government?
Yes, you can. People have been doing it since before there was even a concept of government.
True anarchists live as they please, government be damned.
Whining about government while sitting on your butt is not true anarchism, which is the point I've been trying (fruitlessly, it seems) to make.
If you really want to be an anarchist, no one can stop you.
You have free speech only as long as you protect it.
They are dead because they didn't protect their own right to live. Thus was it forfeited.
But I don't think forcefully shutting down websites with abusive police actions is at all necessary or justified. I don't agree with such tactics, if they are, in fact what's really taking place.
In my opinion, a much more effective way to deal with “Anarchist” websites is to visit them and subsequently spread awareness of the intrinsic fallacies of “Anarchist” dogma.
I should remark that contrary to some misconceptions anarchists on the whole favour organisation. As Chomsky pointed out, gathering together people of like minds for a common purpose, which what essentially organisation is, breaks down feelings of isolation which are common in this society.

You're too hung up on the idea that Anarchists are teenage bomb carrying rebel wannabees, who will become conservative when they "grow up".

You are free to limit yourselves however you like, and there is certainly nothing I can do to change that.

Too many of them hide behind the 'freedom of speech' slogan.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out

Then they came for the trade unionists

because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

So you're saying you support the silencing of anybody you don't agree with?
Isn't that a little narrow minded?
What would you say if they decided to silence you?
